When the measurement room Has to Do More
A modern " measurement room " has long since been about more than just providing precise measurement results. Increasing product variety, shorter process cycles, and stricter requirements for documentation and traceability are changing quality assurance processes. At the same time, the goal is to reduce manual tasks and specifically lighten the workload for skilled workers.
This shifts the focus not only to the measurement itself, but to the entire process:
Prepare component → pick up → measure → evaluate → transport further
Your Benefits with PROTOS-3D
Practical automation solutions for your measurement room
In-house solutions from PROTOS-3D
PRAFS eMOBEE s are specifically designed to meet the requirements of modern measurement processes.
Measurement Technology and Automation: A Unified Approach
We don't just look at individual systems; we examine the entire process at measurement room.
Customizable to fit your inventory
The range of components, available measurement technology, and spatial constraints are all taken into account in the solution.
Flexible and repeatable component mounting
PRAFS enables the automated pickup and positioning of various components for 3D optical measurement. In combination with Virtual Clamping, a defined installation or clamping condition can then be digitally reproduced.
Advantages
- Different component variants on a single system
- less mechanical changeover effort
- Reproducible component positioning
- Automated batch and repeat measurements
Automated transportation in the measurement room
eMOBEE It handles the transport of components and measuring devices between production, measurement room , and various measuring stations. This helps reduce manual handling and unnecessary wait times.
Advantages
- Transport of Pre-Assembled Components
- Automatic deployment to measurement systems
- Power Supply for Multiple Measuring Stations
- Removal of components that have been measured

What a modern " measurement room " should be able to do
Flexible
Different components and variants can be integrated with minimal mechanical setup changes.
Reproducible
Defined component positions and standardized procedures ensure consistent measurement conditions.
Automated
Component handling, transport, and measurement can be linked together step by step.
Scalable
The systems can be adapted to the range of components, the measurement task, and the spatial conditions.
Not every measurement room needs maximum automation
A future-proof " measurement room " does not automatically mean fully automating every process.
What matters most is where automation actually adds value. For example, when there is a wide variety of parts, the focus may be on flexible part handling. In contrast, when transport and staging tasks are frequent, the interlinking of multiple stations can be crucial.
Before implementation, it is therefore important to determine which components, processes, and spatial requirements must be taken into account. A feasibility study helps determine the appropriate level of automation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What role does virtual clamping play?
Virtual Clamping enables the digital representation of defined installation or clamping conditions. " PRAFS " handles the automated and repeatable positioning of the component.
Can existing test rooms be automated in stages?
Yes. PRAFS and eMOBEE can be adapted to existing components, measurement tasks, spatial conditions, and existing processes.
Can PRAFS and eMOBEE be used together?
Yes. The PRAFS can be integrated directly into eMOBEE . This combines flexible component handling with automated transport.
Can eMOBEE support multiple measuring stations?
Yes. eMOBEE can transport components or measuring devices between different stations and be integrated into automated processes.
Is it possible to conduct feasibility studies before implementation?
Yes. Before making an investment, it is possible to verify whether the planned solution can reliably meet the requirements for components, processes, and space.
The next step toward automation measurement room
The " measurement room " of the future will not be created by a single system, but rather through the interplay of measurement technology, flexible component handling, automation, and intelligent material flow.
PRAFS and eMOBEE offer modular components that can be used to specifically expand existing processes and automate them step by step.
