alpha.glass - The future has just begun – we are ready
Increasingly stringent precision requirements in the age of HUD/AR combined with growing projection areas, as well as continually growing added value in production processes through new interaction concepts and functions, such as integrated displays, various coating systems, transparency on demand and plenty more, are demanding ever more powerful measuring tools for monitoring and controlling process and product quality. Manufacturing yield and product quality more than ever depend on prompt feedback in the production chain.

High-performance laser-based thickness measurement is key for competitiveness in many production processes. In the Industry 4.0 era, the demands placed on the digitalization of production data are steadily increasing. Higher data densities lead to an ever more sophisticated understanding of process, more efficient production and higher, documented quality.

alpha.ti 4.0 is a milestone in laser-based thickness measurement: close to 20 years of experience have gone into this product, which was engineered from the ground up. Our top priority was making the system simple to integrate, simple to handle and simple to use. At the same time, accuracy and precision were increased even further, so as to ensure that QM-critical instrument capability is achieved even for the most demanding requirements. Equipped with an array of standard interfaces,  alpha.ti 4.0 enables flexible, customized integration in the plant equipment environment.

Typical rough plate metal, for instance for large pipes, pipelines, mobile cranes, ships and platforms for wind power plants with its dimensions of several 10 square meters has a total weight of several tons. The most frequent reason for reclamation is a flatness requirement which has not been complied with. The flatness of every manufactured metal plate in the production line is subjected to contactless inspection by an automatic flatness measuring system.
