Quality Control: Instant Laser Precision & Inspection for Defect Detection and Process Optimization

Virtek extends its latest IRIS 3D platform with integration with Creaform's 3D scanning technology. Manufacturers can seamlessly inspect parts inline or stationary, during the fabrication process. This advanced integration simplifies digitizing any part being built, analyzing it by comparing the as-built part to the design based on CAD modeling, and clearly highlighting any discrepancies or defects and adjusting assembly positions to the deformed geometry of the part. Using precise laser projection, the system directs the assembly technician to the area of concern for immediate and efficient resolution or guides them to the adjusted assembly positions.
Top industries in manufacturing can benefit from this solution and this integrated workflow. Operators can ensure precise rework of high-value parts by comparing scan data with CAD models and projecting necessary information back onto the part. The Creaform 3D scanner, aligned with the Virtek Vision laser projector, displays critical information for accurate parts installation. This solution also perfects the setup of large castings or forgings on CNC machines by projecting alignment markers, reducing setup time.

Additionally, Virtek’s innovative AI technology is designed to support the evolving needs of aerospace and composite manufacturers, enhancing accuracy, adaptability, and efficiency across production processes. “Our customers are constantly increasing their quality standards and digitization levels. They are requiring flexible, easy to use and exceptionally reliable solutions,” said Dietmar Wennemer, DV President of Virtek Vision. “Our technology empowers them with the precision they need. The combined technologies create a new level of quality control, digitization, and continuous process improvements that are unique in the market. For the last four decades we continue to exceed our customer expectations in everything we do.” Wennemer continued.
