en.Wedoany.com Reported - Ajin Industrial, founded in 1978 in Gyeongsan, South Korea, has long supplied body-in-white structural stamping parts for Hyundai and Kia vehicles, including instrument panel panels, cowl assemblies, and various side reinforcement parts. As vehicle body geometries have become increasingly complex, traditional inspection methods relying on manual operation of checking fixtures have gradually revealed issues of significant measurement deviations and insufficient consistency.

To address this, Ajin initiated an automated quality control transformation, ultimately selecting the CUBE‑R industrial measurement room from FARO CREAFORM. This 3D scanning system combines high speed, high repeatability, and ease of use, while seamlessly integrating with the company's existing PolyWorks software.

CUBE-R 3D Scanning System in Operation

Ajin Industrial engineer Do‑Hyun Ko stated: "After integrating the CUBE‑R system into our mass production line, measurement repeatability has significantly improved, and the automation level of quality control has reached a new milestone. The fast measurement speed, high accuracy, and ease of use have greatly enhanced our quality inspection efficiency."

Following an on-site assessment, the FARO CREAFORM team provided a customized equipment configuration and measurement room layout plan, along with structured operational training. The Creaform Metrology Suite software lowers the programming barrier through wizard-based instructions, allowing operators of varying experience levels to get up to speed quickly.

After introducing CUBE‑R, dimensional measurement deviations are significantly smaller than those from visual inspections and traditional checking fixtures. High repeatability ensures stable and reliable data, facilitating the tracking of production trends. Inspection speed has been greatly improved compared to manual methods, and real-time feedback enables the production line to take corrective actions quickly. The robot can also perform unattended operations, including overnight runs. All 3D data is stored digitally, supporting long-term quality statistics and before-and-after comparisons, strengthening visual proof of product conformity during customer communications. By reducing reliance on the skill level of individual operators, measurement quality is more consistent across different shifts, also lowering human-related risks and costs.

Do‑Hyun Ko added: "By detecting defects earlier, overall production stability and customer confidence have been greatly enhanced."

Today, CUBE‑R has become a core component of Ajin Industrial's mass production quality control strategy. The company is now planning to extend this robotic system to more products and inspection projects. FARO CREAFORM, formed through the merger of FARO and Creaform, is headquartered in Lévis, Quebec, Canada, and Lake Mary, Florida, USA. It specializes in portable measurement, handheld 3D scanning, and automated inspection technologies, primarily serving the automotive, aerospace, and other industries. Its parent company, AMETEK, has annual sales exceeding $7.5 billion.
