FPX - Fingerprint Expert
At ASIS, laboratory measurement means: automated, comparable, and meaningful.
The FPX automates the evaluation of painted surfaces in the laboratory and provides reproducible measurement data for color, texture, film thickness, and cloudiness.
The focus is on comparability: results can be directly correlated with mass production.
Proven in use by OEMs and paint manufacturers in laboratory settings
Seamless integration with end-of-line systems such as Surface-Detect
Use of handheld measuring devices instead of expensive specialized robotic solutions
FPX as an automated laboratory system
The FPX is a robot-assisted measurement system for the automated inspection of painted surfaces and materials.
The combination of robotics, flexible sensor integration, and intelligent control enables stable, reproducible measurement processes for development, approval, and quality assurance.
For the most demanding applications in laboratories and quality assurance
The FPX is designed for paint manufacturers, automotive OEMs, and suppliers with the highest standards.
-
Automatic sample handling with a magazine for up to 25 test panels
-
Vacuum clamping for stable and reproducible measurement conditions
-
Robot-assisted multipoint measurement with interchangeable handheld measuring devices
-
Measurement of color shade, texture, film thickness, and haze
-
Barcode-based measurement program recognition for reliable test procedures
Extensive database and clear process relationships
The measurement process is fully automated—the magazine is loaded once, and all tests are performed automatically. This results in a large volume of comparable measurement data with minimal effort.
The FPX reveals how the material and the coating process interact—and lays the foundation for well-informed optimizations.
Fully automated testing of all relevant paint properties
Flexible Use of Various Measuring Instruments
Cost-effective and comparable to established laboratory methods
Magazine operation with automatic retrieval and securing
Transparent Analysis of Surfaces and Processes
Direct Comparison with End-of-Line Measurement Systems
From the Lab to Mass Production
The FPX complements Surface-Detect: It integrates laboratory analysis and production-line measurement—enabling a comprehensive assessment of surface quality.
White Paper: Surface-Detect
How to replace manual measurement processes, achieve reproducible results, and automate quality assurance in mass production.
- Reproducible measurement data instead of subjective evaluation
- Reduction in inspection effort and staffing
- Transparent quality assurance across all variants
- Overview of common measurement systems
Perfectly planned—even before the first component
With the ASIS Virtual Factory, plants are fully simulated as early as the planning phase.
- Material flow and cycle time analyses
- Offline robot programming
- Accessibility studies
- Virtual commissioning
This results in economically optimized systems—with no surprises during operation.
