AUTOMOTIVE METROLOGY SOLUTIONS

Automotive

Intro

Automotive requires mostly automated solution to inspect the parts and product during mass production. However during prototyping and fixture and mould verification a Laser tracker or a Romer ARM are the right equipment to perform dimensional inspect.

Behind the Measurements

ALTO provides automotive dimensional inspection, metrology services and integrated solutions worldwide, with a strong operational focus on the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, the wider Middle East and Africa. Our engineers support automotive manufacturers, component suppliers and engineering companies throughout product development, tooling, production, assembly and quality-control activities.

We combine specialist metrology expertise with advanced technologies from Hexagon and Creaform. Our capabilities include laser tracker alignment, portable measuring-arm inspection, automated 3D scanning, blue-light scanning, reverse engineering, fixture development and industrial laser projection. ALTO also develops and programs inspection workflows using SpatialAnalyzer and PolyWorks.

Automotive Dimensional Inspection and Metrology Services

Component dimensional inspection: Tactile and non-contact measurement of manufactured components against engineering drawings, tolerances and nominal CAD models.
Jig and fixture inspection: Dimensional verification, calibration and alignment of checking fixtures, assembly jigs, welding fixtures and production tooling.
Mould and tooling inspection: Measurement and CAD comparison of moulds, dies, patterns and tooling used in automotive manufacturing.
Fixture design and manufacturing: Development of application-specific metrology fixtures, checking gauges, assembly tooling and welding fixtures.
Automated 3D inspection: Integration of industrial robots with 3D scanners or blue-light scanning systems for repeatable production and quality-control processes.
Production-line alignment: Laser tracker measurement and alignment of machinery, robots, tooling and assembly-line equipment.
Reverse engineering: 3D scanning and CAD reconstruction of components, prototypes, moulds, tooling and legacy parts.
First Article Inspection: Dimensional verification and reporting to confirm that initial manufactured components meet design and quality requirements.
SpatialAnalyzer and PolyWorks programming: Development of measurement plans, automated routines, CAD-comparison workflows and customised inspection reports.
Training and technical support: Application-specific training that enables customer teams to operate measurement hardware and software effectively.

Integrated Metrology Solutions for Automotive Production

ALTO supports customers from initial feasibility studies and measurement planning through equipment selection, system integration, inspection-program development and final reporting. We can provide an individual inspection service, ongoing production support or a complete solution incorporating measurement hardware, software, automation and operator guidance.

Our application-specific approach helps automotive manufacturers improve inspection repeatability, reduce production errors, accelerate dimensional verification and integrate reliable measurement data directly into their manufacturing processes.

Technician using SuPAR augmented reality software to perform a real-time CAD-to-part visual inspection.

SuPAR AR Visual Inspection

SuPAR AR visual inspection connects digital CAD data with physical components using augmented reality. The application overlays design geometry directly onto the real part, helping operators identify discrepancies, verify component positioning and follow assembly instructions.

Users can capture photographs, add comments and document quality issues directly during inspection. The collected information can be shared through PDF, Excel and 3D reports, improving traceability and communication between production, quality and engineering teams.

SuPAR supports visual quality control, assembly guidance, maintenance and collaborative inspection activities. ALTO provides application assessment, configuration, implementation and training across the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Africa.

Automotive Prototype Welding Fixtures

ALTO designs automotive prototype welding fixtures for body-in-white components, subassemblies and low-volume production. Our modular solutions combine precision CNC-machined elements, interchangeable locating components and customised 3D-printed blocks. Fixtures can be developed for manual or robotic welding, supporting rapid prototyping, repeatable positioning, dimensional accuracy and efficient design changes.

Jig and Fixture Design

ALTO provides custom jig and fixture design for manufacturing, assembly, welding and dimensional inspection applications. Each solution is developed around the component geometry, production process, required tolerances, operator access and measurement requirements.
Our engineering team develops practical tooling for prototypes, low-volume manufacturing and repeatable production. Designs can incorporate adjustable locators, reference systems, interchangeable components and measurement access for portable measuring arms, laser trackers and 3D scanners.
ALTO supports automotive, aerospace, energy and general manufacturing customers with fixture concept development, 3D design and technical documentation across the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Africa. Contact us to discuss your component, production requirements and commercial quotation.
