To monitor the quality of DCAC's pressed steel body panels, a measuring station incorporating a 3D scanner checks the precision of the parts within a hundreth of a millimetre.

Body panels are attached to air-film mobile bedplates, which in turn sit on each of two air film-based Solving Movers. The Movers can dock with the measuring station from either side, allowing one bedplate and Mover to to be prepared and manouvered into position while the other is docked at the measuring station. Once the Mover has docked, the bedplate float from the Mover to the measuring table, guided by a fixed rail, positioning the body panel accurately under the scanner. The system is entirely pneumatic and can not therefore interfere with the measuring system's electronics.

Similar devices are in us at Peugeot and Citroën in France and have proved very satisfactory.
