With the objective of reducing fuel consumption and emissions, automotive manufacturers and suppliers must attach great importance to precisely adjusted micro- and nanostructured functional surfaces to get in full control of friction. Manufacturing of such specially structured surfaces requires high performance 3D metrology for consistent process monitoring, eneabling fast and reliable measurement results. The importance of microscopic surface characteristics not only applies to technical surfaces but also to surfaces with requirements to a purely haptic or optical effect, where the monitoring of the micro- and nanostructures guarantees a constantly high sense of value. Solarius measuring systems are a guarantor for achieving maximum effectivity in producing challenging surface characteristics in hard environments - providing measuring speed and reliability.

3D Inspection Tasks in Automotive Industry

Drivetrain

Friction leads to wear and losses in the power transfer. Correct adjustment and monitoring of surface parameters reduces losses and leads to drive trains with higher efficiency and better durability.

Fuel Cells

The geometries of the electrodes and the bipolar plates of a fuel cell must be manufactured exactly, so that the supplied fuel and the oxidant react optimally and the component works properly and safely.

  • Defect Inspection
  • Flatness
  • Parallelism

Interior

Surfaces in the vehicle interior place special demands on the material. Appearance, value and durability must be maintained at a consistently high level while keeping the cost low.

  • 3D Roughness
  • Step Height
  • Grain Analysis

Bearing

High power densities of modern engines and frequent starting in short-distance operation or through the use of automatic start-stop systems place special demands on the bearing of all rotating parts.
