GRAZ, Austria, Aug 13, 2020 – The latest development from NEXTSENSE, part of Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division, brings a ‘touch’ of freshness to gap and flush measurement in the automotive industry.

With the latest product CALIPRI CB20 and the patented CaliBreeze technology, NEXTSENSE takes surface measurement to a new level

With the CALIPRI CB20 and the unique CaliBreeze technology, it is now possible to measure surfaces that were not measurable before. It works in the same way as cleaning glasses: by ‘breathing’ on the measurement object for a short moment a diffuse reflection of the laser lines is created. After the measurement, the vapour layer evaporates without residue.

Thanks to this technology, measurement is now possible on any surface. Even transparent materials such as glass or plastic, highly-reflective surfaces such as chrome, as well as difficult colors or material combinations, where conventional technologies reach their limits, can be measured precisely and reproducibly with the CALIPRI CB20 and CaliBreeze technology.

This novelty on the market is both a revolution in optical measurement technology and a further development of the industry-known automated solution CALIPRI C12. This unique innovation is intended to better meet the requirements of automobile manufacturers for flush and gap measurement.
