When hundreds of worktops are manufactured daily in custom sizes, every tenth of a millimeter of accuracy counts. To avoid errors and rework, H\u00e4cker K\u00fcchen completely modernised its final inspection for worktops at the R\u00f6dinghausen plant\u2014and chose the HECHT 4i-Inline-Scanner<\/b>. The result: greater process reliability, higher quality, and less scrap. Crucial to this renewed decision was the successful inline measurement at the Venne plant\u2014clear proof that HECHT technology reliably delivers in ongoing operations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In worktop production, H\u00e4cker has a clear demand: zero tolerance for errors. However, manually performed random checks quickly reach their limits with high product variety and increasing volumes. To ensure consistently high quality in the long term, H\u00e4cker sought a solution that fully automatically and in real-time checks every workpiece\u2014directly in the line, without stopping production.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The HECHT 4i enables 100% inline control\u2014every part is geometrically measured as it passes through and compared with the CAD target values. The system immediately detects deviations and delivers precise data to the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and ERP. This allows error sources to be identified early, rework to be avoided, and process data to be used specifically for optimisations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    In the final inspection, the worktops run centrally through the scanner. The MES system automatically transfers the barcode and all relevant data. The scanner uses this to create the measurement job and checks the part during the run. The operator sees the results immediately:<\/p>

    • All green?<\/b> \u2192 Panel is packaged.<\/p><\/li>

    • Anomaly detected?<\/b> \u2192 Panel can be repaired, released, or marked for remanufacturing.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

      This ensures maximum transparency and immediate reaction capabilities during ongoing operation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

      By implementing the two HECHT 4i Inline-Scanners<\/b>, H\u00e4cker K\u00fcchen achieved automated quality assurance<\/b> while simultaneously ensuring significantly higher line efficiency<\/b>. This reduces the proportion of faulty panels, strengthens assembly and delivery quality, lowers scrap and rework, and creates a solid data foundation for process optimisations.<\/p>

      Specifically, this means:<\/b><\/p>

      • More stable production and assembly quality<\/p><\/li>

      • Less scrap and rework<\/p><\/li>

      • Improved process data for continuous optimisation<\/p><\/li><\/ul>
