ARGUS

ARGUS records 3D coordinates of components in order to evaluate forming conditions and surface strains of sheet metal components after forming. The System compares the measurement data obtained from the photogrammetry camera with the material's forming limit curve and determines whether areas are too deformed or are still within a certain tolerance range. Regardless of the size of the components, the optical sensor system captures surfaces holistically and generates reliable measurement data for the validation of simulations.

The optimization of sheet metal forming processes with regard to the correct choice of materials and optimization of tools is a decisive factor for competitiveness. The forming analysis system ARGUS supports such optimization processes particularly by convincing and precise results of the surface strain on the components. The ARGUS results are areal and intuitively interpretable.
