MARCH 5--CogniTens Ltd. (Ramat Hasharon Israel; www.cogitens.com) has received several orders for both the Optigo 200 portable 3-D noncontact measurement systems and its OptiCell automated 3-D noncontact robotic cell for in-production repetitive part measurements. The orders were received from TSK, the Japanese distributor of CogniTens, for its OEM and Tier One customers, and are being supplied during Q1 and Q2 2003. With the installation of these systems on order, the total installation of Optigo systems in Japan will be a few dozen systems.

Rony Homossany, vice president of sales of CogniTens, states: "The automotive industry is realizing that its production processes must undergo major changes to shorten time to market, increase quality of parts and processes, and reduce rework and scrap."

Optigo 200, the portable member of the family, is designed for process engineering, tool development and production ramp-up, and reduces the time it takes to develop dies and molds and improves the quality of parts manufactured. The built-in applications allow instantaneous handling of the collected data to provide the user with measurement results of surfaces and features, comparisons to CAD, Digital and Virtual Assembly tools, visualization, and reporting.

OptiCell is an automated measurement system designed for on-line process control and quality assurance on the shop floor. Highly accurate measurement capabilities and automatic repetitive measurement functions allow the OptiCell to measure multiple parts in sequence, providing manufacturing managers with part to CAD deviation information, trend reports, and go/no-go utilities.
