Bosch controls color difference in irregular products with the X-Rite VeriColor ® contactless Color Recognition System

Bosch Automotive Components (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. was established in 1999. It is the production and operation base of Bosch's five product divisions: Automotive Electronics, Chassis Brake System, Chassis Control System, Automotive Multimedia and Equipment System and Special Equipment Division. since

Since May 2006, the Automotive Electronics Division has chosen Suzhou as its important production base, striving to provide high-tech new products for the Chinese automotive market, and provide customers with high-quality products and fast and reliable services.

With the rise of CHINA's auto industry, Chinese people pay close attention to the quality of auto products. When people consider purchasing a car, they not only consider the durability, stability, operation convenience and comfort of the product, but also pay more attention to the sensory enjoyment brought by the harmonious car color. In order to meet the public's increasing requirements for car colors, various car manufacturers and parts manufacturers have invested heavily in strengthening the unified management of car colors. As an important domestic car audio provider, Bosch has long been concerned about the control and management of product quality. Color management has become an important part of quality assurance. Bosch hopes that its car audio components can achieve zero color difference to ensure its strong market competitiveness.

In the daily production process, how to strengthen the color management of the surface of car audio products to avoid high-cost production waste has always been a production issue that Bosch pays close attention to. Faced with curved surfaces and many small apertures, many common detection methods cannot effectively identify color errors. Bosch hoped to discover new color solutions that would help it solve color issues in fast-paced join assembly and sorting operations.

Bosch's technicians accidentally discovered X-Rite's VeriColor non-contact color certification and identification system during a trip to a Spanish factory and consulted X-Rite's Chinese engineers after returning home. "This is an exciting solution. The non-contact color sensor it provides can strictly control the color of subtle parts in any working environment, and it can completely help us control the color difference of irregular small parts." Bosch Chen Long, product engineer of the automotive electronics said. Compared with many other industrial sensing systems, the non-contact measurement provided by X-Rite's VeriColor color recognition system is not affected by the contact surface and the surrounding light environment, so it can help degrees and waves of the car stereo surface. For subtle measurement parts, VeriColor can identify 12 or 6mm spot color areas to help customers solve the color management of small parts. "Even if there is a slight color error in a small area on the product, the system will immediately turn on the light and generate a record when it is found." Bosch's front-line operators are deeply impressed by line experience. In addition, Bosch hopes that the online color recognition system can not only help it solve various monitoring problems it faces, but also need to be durable and easy to use in complex factory operating environments. The VeriColor system has a strong reinforced fully enclosed enclosure to ensure that the system is not affected by wear and tear or mechanical failure. Its LED indicator has a service life of up to 25 years and can withstand heat, cold, humidity, vibration and various common industrial production environments. pollutants.

Knowing the many advantages of the VeriColor system, Bosch's technicians immediately purchased the system. X-Rite staff helped Bosch quickly install the VeriColor system on its car audio production line in half a working day. Now, the system is performing its best functions, helping Bosch solve the problem of color management of the special surface of the car audio. "Thank you very much for this set of equipment provided by X-Rite, which helped us avoid the high-cost production line chromatic aberration, and improved our production efficiency and quality. We have ordered another one, hoping to better help our production Operations management.” said Chen Long, Product Engineer of Bosch Automotive Electronics Production Department.
