Digitization of cast parts with ZEISS laser scanner
Andreas Ladwig, Associate Lean Specialist, and Ralf Redekker, his colleague from the Vulcanization Department, are studying the coupling segment.
Problem: Measuring a large range of couplings
VULKAN's RATO S range of couplings consist of several cast parts. To achieve the required elasticity, two of these molded parts are joined by vulcanization. Problem: The parts provided in the technical drawings and the parts actually received did not always match
at 100%.
This meant that employees needed additional time to finalize them. In order to improve the manufacturing process, it was necessary first of all to provide an accurate analysis of the cast parts. "The range includes over 40 variants and sizes," says Andreas Ladwig, Associate Lean Specialist. "It would take us years to collect data on their geometric shape with calipers." A faster and more accurate method was needed.
Optical path indication simplifies scanning.
Solution: ZEISS T-SCAN CS handheld laser scanner
VULKAN introduced the ZEISS T-SCAN CS laser scanner into the inspection process. It digitizes the product relief by scanning 210,000 individual dots in one second. From these point clouds, data acquisition software from ZEISS generates a 3D model of the product. The operator first clamps the cast parts in a fixture directly at the production site. During the scanning process, the ZEISS T-TRACK CS+ tracking system camera, mounted on a nearby rack, registers the points captured by the laser scanner in a virtually fixed coordinate system.
Fast measurement with ZEISS handheld laser scanner
Ralph Redekker, from the Vulcanization Department, digitizes a sleeve segment using T-Scan. The first signs of successful process optimization are already visible.
Benefit: Fast digitization, less scrap
Ladwig and colleagues compared CAD models with scanned images produced with ZEISS INSPECTplus software. Then
they updated the "old" CAD models and sent them to the casting supplier. The "new" castings were then inspected on the original samples using a laser scanned image. "It's incredibly fast," says Ladwig. “If my colleague scans in the morning and I have time for analysis in the afternoon, then we can complete the inspection of the original sample of a particular component in just one working day. Previously, it would have taken us several weeks to do this.” The optimization process resulted in a significant reduction in the amount of scrap and a reduction in the time and effort spent on rework.
Coordinate measuring machines and 3D scanners in industry
Top 3D Shop welcomes you! Today we talk about the technologies of mechanical and optical scanning in three dimensions. We introduce the principles of operation and areas of application of CMM - coordinate measuring machines. Comparing different equipment. Learn more from the article.
Introduction
source: aberlink.com
Coordinate measuring machines (CMM) are devices for precise contact measurements of objects. The devices operate using special sensors (probes) that determine the position of points on the surface of objects.
Probe movement can be controlled by computer or operator. The coordinate measuring machine determines the position of the sensor by changing its position, in comparison with the initial position along the XYZ axes. To work in hard-to-reach areas, the CMM changes the angle of the sensor when moving.
The Scottish company Ferranti Company presented the world with the first sample of a 2-axis measuring machine. The device was designed to solve the problems of the military industry.
1960s of the XX century. The Italian company DEA creates 3-axis CMMs.
1970s of the XX century. The emergence of computer-controlled devices.

The pioneers of the industry, Browne & Sharpe and DEA, are now part of the Swedish holding company Hexagon AB.
Mechanical measurements
Manual CMMs

Portable handheld CMMs are mobile and can be used anywhere in the factory. Most devices are wireless, so they can work in hard-to-reach areas. The devices are designed for high-precision measurements of parts of complex geometric shapes: with complex edges, holes, recesses, etc.
With the help of the equipment, GD & T analysis (shapes, dimensions and tolerances) and control comparisons of finished samples with basic digital models are carried out.

Manual CMMs do not require special training, as the equipment does not require complex setup and calibration. The use of such devices together with other devices for changes and digitization expands the functionality and scope of the equipment.
Horizontal lever CMMs

In cases where you need free access to the part from different sides, use a CMM with a horizontal arm. The device works on a heavy platform, which guarantees the immobility of the object during measurements. The design provides protection of users from injuries, and objects - from deformations.
Among contact measuring instruments, coordinate measuring machines with a horizontal arm are the fastest to solve problems in the field of automated metrological control.

Optical 3D Scan
3D laser scanning
One of the key differences between probe and laser measurements is the ability to capture the shape of objects. Mechanical scanning does not give an idea of the shape of objects. When objects are digitized by a laser scanner, a point cloud is created, on the basis of which the software generates a three-dimensional detailed and high-precision model.
Source: whatech.com
Laser scanning is a non-contact technology, therefore it is widely used for remote quality control when working with fragile and easily deformable objects. Because lasers are coherent light sources, 3D laser scanners are virtually unaffected by environmental fluctuations.
Patterned illumination scanning
A light grid is directed to the scanned object, the cameras fix the shape of the light projection and calculate the coordinates of each point. Based on the information received, the software builds a digital model.

When it is necessary to scan hard-to-reach areas, such as channels and holes, scanners with structured illumination are complemented by hand-held measuring instruments.

In this regard, he was faced with the task of optimizing processes: reducing time costs without losing the accuracy of the check. Familiar technologies no longer suited the company: an operator was involved in checking every detail, there were losses of time and quality.
Computer Aided Technology was faced with a choice:
- Buy an additional inspection machine and bring in a new workforce for maintenance.
- Outsource some of the tests, which will increase the cost and possibly the quality of the measurements.
- Invest in more modern equipment.
The management settled on the last option. As a result of purchasing a set: wireless Creaform HandyProbe and two-chamber C-Track, the company received a number of advantages:
- The mobile scanner allowed the operator to work anywhere in the plant, which saved time and effort spent on transporting batches of goods to the inspection site.
- The size of parts to be tested is no longer limited by the capabilities of the old inspection machine.
The combination of Creaform HandyProbe and INNOVMETRIC's PolyWorks Inspector software solution has made the operator's job much easier. Now the specialist acts according to the algorithm proposed by the software in real time.
Inspection of a 10m Shaft Arm with ScanTech TrackScan and TrackProbe light pen in 15 minutes
0005
When the excavator is operating, heavy loads act on the bucket arm, as a result of which the bushings of the bucket shaft hole wear out intensively.
An increase in the diameter of the bucket shaft hole leads to an increase in the beating of the shaft in the lever hole, which subsequently leads to a breakdown of the equipment. Accordingly, regular inspection of the size of the lever holes prevents equipment failure. Buying a CMM to solve this problem is expensive and impractical, since such machines are installed permanently, and the transportation of large parts to the CMM installation site entails additional time and financial costs.

It took 15 minutes to digitize, process the results, and check the quality of the 10-meter arm right on site. The specialists used the ScanTech TrackScan 3D scanner, created in partnership with the Norwegian manufacturer Metronor. The scanner works without markers, together with the TrackProbe light pen it makes high-precision measurements of holes of any depth and radius.
Results
Accordingly, the need for production to optimize quality control processes is growing: increasing speed and accuracy, reducing costs.
