Gap: gap width
The distance between the plastic blade and the aluminium rim is measured at the specified test positions.

QBIC Rims.
Precision down to the last detail.
Flush & gap measurement in the lower μm range. QBIC Rims tests the installation position of plastic blades in aluminum rims using robot-assisted 3D measurement technology.

Measure the gap.
Recognize offset.
Premium design requires measurable quality. QBIC Rims evaluates defined measurement points based on their nominal dimensions and tolerances.
Flush: height offset
The height of the blade is determined relative to the adjacent rim surface and compared with the tolerances.
Principles, not to scale.
The procedure
From the component
on the result.
- 01
Recognising wheel
A 20-MP camera detects centering, rotational position and wheel type.
- 02
Approaching measuring points
A 6-axis robot guides the 3D measuring head to the intended test positions.
- 03
Evaluating fit
The gap and height offset are detected and compared with the agreed nominal tolerances.
- 04
Document inspection results
Measured values per test point are available for quality evaluation and subsequent tracking.
For your production
Compact.
Modular.
Integrable.
Manual or automatic loading: The QBIC cell concept combines measurement technology, robotics, control and evaluation in a compact platform.
CRETEC accompanies the project from feasibility study to integration, commissioning and support.
In the application published in 2024, a complete rim was tested in less than one minute. Test time and measurement performance depend on execution, measuring points and inspection task.
Experience is like engine displacement...
Nothing can replace it,
except more of it.
Show us your rim, the relevant measuring points and your tolerances. Together we define the appropriate testing process.
