Case Study

Portable CMM “The Missing Evolutionary Link” In Tooling Operations At Airbus The Airbus site in Broughton near Chester, UK, manufactures every single wing variant in the Airbus product line, including the mother of all flagships, the new A380. Providing work for more than 7,000 people, Airbus is the largest employer in town. Over 100 Leica Laser Trackers are used by the 16 production facilities in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK, and the Broughton site alone relies on 7 Leica Laser Trackers to perform recertification and modification jobs. The newest addition to their Leica Metrology arsenal is the Leica T-Probe, the wireless hand-held “Walk-Around” portable CMM. However, technology aside, it is the Leica Geosystems unparalleled quality of service and support that has made all the difference to day-to-day sustainability of Airbus operations. Few things arouse as much awe and admiration as flying does. Nothing captures our love affair with airplanes better than the brandnew A380, the largest passenger aircraft ever built. With 73m in length, a wingspan of 80m and a height of more than 24m, its sheer size instantly earns both respect and affection. When it goes into service in 2008, the A380 is poised to redefine long-distance air travel as we know it. A perfect fit The wings on any aircraft are probably the single most complex and crucial element in the entire construction. Not only the number of complex parts going into the assembly of a wing but also the need to maintain unforgi-



measureup

vingly tight tolerances of about 0.25mm (one tenthousandth of an inch) over the entire length of the wing put tremendous requirements on the tooling. The assembly takes place in large jigs that may reach the height of several stories. Individual jigs may have hundreds of tooling points that have to be in perfect alignment with each other. Saving time, saving money Graham Tudor, Tooling Operations Manager at Airbus, explains: “Leica equipment has taken us away from the conventional tooling business and has made recertifications and modifications our core competence. We are using Leica Laser Trackers plus the new Leica T-Probe for that innovation and are registering saving in the region of 30 to 50 percent in both time and money.” “Recently, we had to rework an A340 wing. We were requested to move the wing back into the jigs to repair the fault, which had never been done before. We had recertified the jigs using the Leica laser technology and were able to put the wing into a different jig other than the one in which it was originally built. Bringing the wing into a different jig with absolutely no modifications or adjustments was only possible because of the tolerances we had achieved when we did the recertification.” Proximity is everything Relying on dependable service and support is another element of the Leica experience. “What I get from Leica Geosystems is a true turnkey package. Leica’s Technical Sales Engineer Steve Shickell lives locally and is always on hand to offer support and expertise. There is always an instant, rapid response because Steve and his team understand the implications of not delivering. I receive regular updates on products, launches and new tech-

nologies that allows me to view your latest products first hand. For example, we were one of the first companies in the UK to start using the Leica T-Probe.” Leave nothing to chance “When I want a laser tracker, I think of Leica Geosystems above anyone else because of the package I receive and not just because of the price of the product. Sure, I might save money somewhere else, but when it breaks down, where do I go for help? How long is it before that help gets to me? In this business, the risk of failure is simply too high to leave anything to chance. With Leica Geosystems, there are no open questions.” Charting the change together Over the past decade most of the Airbus tooling has been designed using a 3D CAD package. This has allowed the company to go gaugeless and recertify these tools using a non-contact measurement systems like the Leica Laser Tracker. Alan Minshul, Airbus Tool Engineer, provides the final food for thought: “One of the frustrations has been that our legacy tooling still has to be checked using conventional methods. With the introduction of the Leica T-Probe, we can go gaugeless there as well, thus allowing us to recertify these tools up to 50 percent quicker. In a way, the Leica T-Probe is the evolutionary missing link that we have been waiting for all along.” Contacts Full version of this case study available opon request using the feedback form in the back.

Celebrating Romer’s 20th Birthday   Interview with Romain Granger, General Director and founder of Romer measureup Mr. Granger, Romer is turning

20 in October 2006. Could you tell us a little about how it all got started? Romain Granger: Romer’s history is tightly linked with the articulated arm history as well with the development of microcomputers. The company where I used to work before starting Romer sold machine tools for bending tubes. A measuring machine was used to inspect the tubes in 5 axes. This machine, stationary and very heavy, worked together with a small computer. Creating a portable measurement tool was finally possible in 1986, with the advent of first microcomputers. Moreover, 3D measurement needs were real, especially in the automotive industry and the assembly tools. So in October 1986, in a rented space of just 100m2, Romer was born. measureup In which industries was Romer



to complete frames. With articulated arms weighing only 7kg, 3D CMM became portable and was brought to the part being measured. Making computer processing mobile was imperative for the arms’ development. To put things into perspective, keep in mind that early PCs ran at 4.77MHz. Today’s processors run at speeds well in excess of 3GHz. measureup How did Romer, situated in a

small French city in the Loir region, become a big multinational company? Romain Granger: Romer was created with an American associate. In fact, only an international approach from the beginning could guarantee continuous product development in the long term. The fist arms were sold in France to Renault and Peugeot, and in the USA to Ford and Boeing.

specialized in the beginning?

measureup Could you please talk some

Romain Granger: Our first jobs involved machine tools on automotive assembly lines. The arms were used to inspect different parts, from simple measurements

of carbon fiber and anodized aluminum, with the accuracy of 0.15mm in a 2m volume. Arms in different lengths, up to 3.6m, soon followed. The second arm was “Romer 100,” weighing just 4kg, offering a fixed length and volume, while “Harmony” offered variable arm lengths. The range was then expanded with “Sigma,” the first arm featuring limitless rotation. Its modular concept has the advantage of changing arm lengths in the Flex configuration, with lengths of up to 5.2m. G-Scan was launched in 2004. Equipped with a rotation axis, G-Scan can be used on a 6-axis arm, giving it 7-axis capabilities. Of course, in the meantime, accessories were developed for different products, for example mobile supports, horizontal rails, vertical rails (to elevate the volume) or floor position recognition systems with intelligent targets containing identification numbers. measureup How did Romer join the

Hexagon Metrology group? What are the benefits for Romer? Romain Granger: Romer wanted to join a larger organization to manage the growth of the arm business and to be more efficient in the international market. In fact, automotive producers in different countries were asking for direct local service, something that Romer was not able to offer alone. For Hexagon, articulated arms were an ideal addition to their product range. Both companies had a common interest, and we are now very proud to be part of such an extensive organization. Hexagon has under its roof several prestigious brands, all supporting a common software platform, PC-DMIS. The latest integration of Leica Geosystems into the Hexagon Metrology group has allowed us to expand into the laser tracker sector, thus creating a “Portable CMM Business Unit,” which is consolidating our market presence and commercial strength in different countries and creating uniform strategies and marketing tools. measureup What are Romer’s strengths

today? What are the next steps you see coming? Romain Granger: Above all, ROMER is a team, a team of young people, offering

stability and a constant focus. New product development is done in-house by our R&D, with production, testing and validations also done internally. We are offering our clients products with state-of-the-art technology, providing solutions to their specific needs. We also offer excellent after-sale service. The development of new products at Romer got a fresh boost in 2005 with the introduction of Romocut, a mobile NC modeler that has already found many applications in the automotive sector. The Romer integration into Hexagon Metrology has streamlined product development and optimized responsiveness to market impulses. Today, these two factors allow us to expand the production facilities in Montoire by an additional 1,000m2. The work on the expansion will start at the beginning of 2007, and will represent an important milestone for our company. measureup How about a little parting

anecdote? Romain Granger: I had the opportunity to measure the last solid booster stage on the engine of the Ariane rocket, which is around for only 30 seconds. The day after, I was at a hydroelectric plant, measuring the blade of a alternator weighing 400 tons, located in a tube that was 10m in diameter. The alternator will be around for 30 years. Our articulated arms are made to fit practically any kind of customer application. measureup



Case Study

Mid-Size Enterprise With Century-Old Tradition Thrives In Times Of Globalization The picturesque Lake Constance, located near the rim of the Alpine region of Germany, Austria and Switzerland, is home to Krayer GmbH, a middle-sized company of about 50 employees specializing in the production of 3D forming parts. The company has a rich history, dating back to 1884, when Franz-Joseph Krayer founded a modest fabrication shop in the lakeside town of Langenargen. The business has weathered two world wars and the turbulent hyperinflation times in-between, only to see its pressing equipment com pletely confiscated by the allied occupying forces right after the end of WWII. However, the company rose from the ashes and expanded, quickly making up the losses. The product offerings are mind-boggling. Over 1,000 tons of rolled and cut sheetmetal in all grades, shapes and thicknesses are kept in stock at any one time. Tens of thousands of tools are stored in the basement, utilizing a modern motorized storage system for quick access. The customers are primarily subcontractors to the commercial vehicle sector, many of which have been cooperating with Krayer for decades, such as world-famous ZF from Friedrichshafen, who are known for their high-performance gearboxes found in the world’s fastest production sedans and sports cars. But

10

Krayer also produces a plethora of pressed sheetmetal parts varying from large-sized sinks for the gastronomy industry to the “indestructible” keyboards found at public internet access booths. Managing Director Cristoph Brugger points out: “We specialize in fabricating small and medium-sized runs of pressed and perforated sheet metal parts, with series running anywhere from just one part to tens, hundreds or thousands of parts. For smaller runs, we rely on old-fashioned manpower. Larger runs are automated, and we use industrial robots to free up our workforce for those tasks for which programming a robot would be too time-intensive relative to the time savings resulting from automation. Our extensive collection of tools lets us quickly alter production runs, and we can also rapidly manufacture new tools, which is very important for the development of prototypes. Within a very short period of time, we are able to produce sample parts based on test tools, letting us keep pace with the ever-changing needs of our customers.” Keeping up with the changing times has also meant acquiring ISO9001 certification. Depending on the specifics of a particular production run, representative samples need to be compared against part drawings. Checking part dimensions has the potential for slowing down the production: parts need to be taken into the metrology lab,

where their actual dimensions are compared to the target values. This is especially troublesome if parts are large, heavy or difficult to handle. This is why Krayer was looking for a more contemporary solution to this measurement task. After seeing a Romer Omega articulated arm in action at an industrial trade show, the management organized a product demonstration on the premises and was quickly convinced of the arm‘s benefits. Krayer has been relying on a Romer Omega articulated arm for over a year to streamline and expedite its metrology tasks as part of ISO9001 compliance. “The main benefit of the Romer articulated arm is its portability,” Brugger continues. “As you can see, we have mounted it on a mobile cart work station, so we can take it directly to any machine located in our factory. While one worker is producing parts, a metrology technician can perform the necessary measurements right there on the spot. In addition, the Romer Omega articulated arm is much faster than the conventional measurement methods, letting us perform the required measurements in a fraction of the time previously required for the same task.”

Production Manager Michael Banhardt expands: “The arm is very easy to use, and the workflow can be quickly learned by practically any employee. That way, the production process does not need to be interrupted, the machine operator does not need to leave his station to bring the part to the stationary CMM. The evaluation is done in the PC-DMIS software, and we have documentable results to show to the customer.” Another reason for purchasing the Romer arm was to have it as an alternative to a contourograph. With the arm, Krayer can check the contours of even the smallest parts, something that was not possible with a classical contourograph. Today, Krayer is still true to its roots, being run by a closely knit family of long-time associates. Over the years, the company has been able to expand its business to include not just the German and the greater EU market, they also have customers from the Far East and beyond. What all these customers have in common is that they have all heard of Krayer by word of mouth: the company is proud to emphasize that they invest no money whatsoever in any form of marketing or advertising; the quality of their products speaks for itself.

Focus on Technology

A Brief History Of Theodolites The word “theodolite” is derived from the arabic “alhidade” (meaning “ruler”) morphed with the definite English article, “the.” A theodolite is an instrument for measuring both horizontal and vertical angles and is an important metrological tool. A theodolite consists of a telescope mounted movably within two perpendicular axes. When the telescope is pointed at a desired object, the angle of each of these axes can be measured with great precision, typically on the scale of arcseconds (1 arcsecond = 1/3600th of one degree). The history of theodolites dates back to the so-called plane table alhidades, devices allowing the graphical mapping of the terrain. These devices consisted of a plane table and a telescope mounted in a fork-like contraption or alhidade, allowing it to be aimed out

of the horizontal plane. The whole assembly rested on a plane table, onto which graphing paper was attached; a ruler connected to the alhidade in such a way as to be always pointing in the same horizontal direction as the telescope, was then used to plot the direction to the target. In today’s theodolites, the reading out of the horizontal and vertical circles is usually done electronically. The readout is done by a rotary encoder, which can be absolute, e.g., using Gray codes, or incremental, using equidistant light and dark radial bands. In the latter case the circles spin rapidly, reducing angle measurement to electronic measurement of time differences. Additionally, lately CCD sensors have been added to the focal plane of the telescope allowing both auto-targeting and the automated measurement of residual target offset. All this is implemented in embedded software. continued on next page measureup

continued from page 13

Today’s theodolites are usually equipped with integrated electro-optical distance measuring devices, allowing the measurement in one go of complete threedimensional vectors – albeit in instrument-defined polar co-ordinates – which can then be transformed to a preexisting coordinate system in the area by means of a sufficient number of control points. The technique is called free station position surveying and is widely used in mapping surveying. The instruments, ‘intelligent’ theodolites called self-registering tachometers or ‘total stations’, perform the necessary operations, saving

data into internal registering units, or into external data storage devices. Typically, rugged laptops or PDAs are used for this purpose.
