Overview

Quality Built for the Assembly Line, so the Assembly Line can Build Quality

LMI Technologies specializes in 3D sensors that produce fast throughput and high resolution inspection data to meet production and quality requirements for the automotive industry.

Packaged in a rugged industrial housing, LMI sensors are ideal for mounting in the assembly weld tools, in close proximity to weld guns. When sensors are mounted in the assembly line, they can operate in a continuous data-gathering mode to obtain data of actual part movements during the process. Since data acquisition is done automatically, results may be displayed in real time.

Our automotive applications division works closely with our System Integrators & Original Equipment Machine Suppliers to deliver solutions for dimensional quality inspection of automotive bodies and subassemblies.

Application Examples

Robotic Door Inspection:

This is an example of using an ABB robot with integrated 3D sensors for door inspection. Key features, such as holes and studs, are checked for presence. The LMI sensor checks for presence with imaging processes and then takes it a step further by locating features using a laser line.

Robotic Underbody Inspection:

LMI sensors provide the ability for full multi-sensor inspection for the underbody. Each sensor is calibrated to world coordinates.
