For Wollsdorf, we produced custom solution for stretching full size, finished automotive leather hides

We developed a game-changing machine in just months!

Vidaco provided custom solution for stretching full size, finished automotive leather hides, that Wollsdorf needed as integral part of newly developed process for automatic leather quality inspection. Due to very specific requirements and high quality level required in automotive steering wheel leather, requirements for the machine were very specific and no market solution was adaptable for this purpose. Machine provided the client with ability to stretch the hide in 32 axis independently with fine adjustment of force and travel for each axis. Seamless integration with other elements of the system allowed Wollsdorf to develop this unique approach to leather inspection.

How did the development of this product look like?

Looking in retrospect, development process went smoothly and quickly considering complexity and size of the project. From first discussions to commissioning in only few months we managed to exceed expectations allowing the client to gain additional insight in developing other parts of the system and thus improve and accelerate development process for the whole system.

What is so special about this product?

Complexity and uniqueness of such approach to leather inspection did not allow the client to use, or even adapt, market solutions. Necessity to seamlessly integrate hardware and software into single process was key. Also, having flexibility in controlling the process and changing requirements as we go, sometimes outside of the initial scope of the project, was key for the success.

Wollsdorf received our full support – here’s what they say:

“Since first discussions we saw VIDACO will provide us with expertise, flexibility and execution we needed. Looking at finished work we can say we are more that happy with the support and cooperation and we are looking forward to future endeavours“.
