In-process surface coating metrology: BayerRecent Research Landscape

Geometric deviations and structural defects during high-speed forming lead to high scrap rates and downstream assembly failures. These innovations integrate real-time sensing into the forming tool to detect and mitigate quality drift before parts exit the machine.

What technical problems is Bayer addressing in In-process surface coating metrology?

Interrupted component traceability

(30)evidences

Undetected deviations in manufacturing parameters lead to inconsistent coating quality and component failure. Real-time detection of these variances prevents systemic waste and ensures structural integrity across high-volume production lines.

Undetected surface coating defects

(22)evidences

In-process manufacturing often suffers from latent material flaws or tool failures that compromise final product integrity. Identifying these failures in real-time prevents the propagation of defective parts and reduces industrial waste.

Inconsistent workpiece positioning accuracy

(18)evidences

Misalignment or improper orientation of components during automated handling leads to forming defects and machining errors. Precise spatial control ensures consistent manufacturing quality and prevents mechanical interference.

Inaccurate robotic task sequencing

(15)evidences

Manual or static determination of assembly steps leads to suboptimal throughput and collision risks. Automating sequence logic reduces downtime and prevents operational errors in multi-tool environments.
