METROLOGY

Automatically scan the specimen in the inspection area and call the corresponding program. This leads to maximum process safety for the customer. This is especially interesting for systems with a huge variety of different parts. Unique features on the parts are used to determine the correct part type.

CFRP parts have properties in terms of deviation from CAD files. The so-called spring back phenomena makes it necessary to apply some kind of “reverse engineering” on complex shaped parts. The “part reconstruction” module inside FILL STUDIO performs a meshing algorithm to the acquired point cloud. The *.step file, coming out from the meshing procedure can be read into the offline programming system and subsequently the path planning can be performed.

While the previous three mentioned processes are related to ensure a secure and high-quality NDT inspection, structured light can even be utilized to perform measuring of geometrical attributes. Contactless part surface reconstruction enables new possibilities in part reconstruction. Accuracy of 0,05mm can be achieved. In addition to the 3D Point cloud, even visual information can be processed automatically (e.g. bonding areas, holes, …) HEXAGON tracker AT960 in combination with an AS-1 scanner is used to acquire high precision data. POLYWORKS is used to perform the corresponding alignment with the 3D Data. Measuring reports can be generated automatically.
