"Modular" production techniques in aeroplane construction, together with european or even worldwide distribution of supply and assembly plants necessitate a large number of quality control survey measurements.

We regularly employ all our established measurement systems in a variety of projects associated with the development, production and final assembly of aeroplanes and in separate construction projects.

In the aerospace industry, where accuracy, flexibility and economic viability must be the highest order, our mobile measuring techniques really come into their own.

With high-end photogrammetry systems, deformation measurements are possible even under simulated space conditions (vacuum, extreme temperatures).

We are, for example, involved in various Ariane projects with our photogrammetric INCA cameras. Satellite and parabola antennas or other components are also given quality checks.

Wether in nuclear research, energy technology or in the construction of special machinery, in the case of technically challenging projects there is often a need for precision measurements in sub-millimetre range.

When traditional methods of alignment or adjustment in geometric verification are not economically viable our mobile 3D measuring procedures present clear advantages.

Quick availability and high mobility are the requirements for performing 3D measurements for production and assembling of wind turbines.

Our wind and weather resistant 3D measuring systems provide immediate high accuracy results even under the rough conditions on site.

Because of the rapid development of digital photogrammetry and the huge success in this area of CAD-based real-time measurement techniques with hand-held probes, the car industry is today one of our greatest customers.

As well as providing services to the tool and plant construction sections, robotic steering assembly and chassis sections, we are frequently involved with system integration and with training schemes.

Because of the international competition in the shipbuilding industry and the requirement of shorter lay times in port, shipyards are forced to speed up their maintenance processes.

With our mobile measuring systems we are quick to get to every harbour worldwide and provide versatile data about geometry and shape, long before the ship will be docking. Sections can be prefabricated, and time-effectively changed or added.
