Abstract
A manufacturing cell for manufacturing a vehicle component can include an intelligent actuator, a pneumatic rotational cylinder, an arm, a laser scanner, and a controller. The arm can extend downward from the intelligent actuator to the pneumatic rotational cylinder. The laser scanner can be attached to the pneumatic rotational cylinder for movement with the pneumatic rotational cylinder. The laser scanner configured to scan at least a first object and a second object, and create profile data indicative of a 3D profile of the first object and the second object. The controller can be configured to assure that the second object is in a positive condition by using the profile data to determine the positive condition for the second object if the tolerance distance lies within a set range, and determine a flagged condition for the second object if the tolerance distance lies outside the set range.
