3D Inspection Service
Our 3D structured light scanners are amongst the most accurate, making them suitable for first article inspection and bring some significant advantages over traditional CMM inspection
Our software combination is tailored to provide a full inspection report to concisely highlight manufacturing errors by comparing the article to the Cad model or master model.
We can customise the reports to include client information and logos and supply them in a variety of electronic formats or printed copies.
The advantages we have over traditional inspecting methods are:
The highly graphical displays give an inspector all he needs whilst keeping things clear for the less technically minded.
The comparison to the master model is made over thousands of points on the surface to ensure that an overall picture of deviations is made.
The whole process is quicker and gives more information than CMM systems.
Alignment to the Cad model can be made by giving priority to datums. The inspection report will describe the whole component but can give specific mention to particular features or SCs.
If tolerances are known, the report can be used as a “Go-No go” gauge but colour banding pass and fail areas.
The scanning system is portable, enabling it to be brought to the subject.
The subject matter does not require aligning to any grid system. This is all done at the processing stage. This avoids the need for any fixtures.
The inspection process can be semi automated for batch processing.
