Industrial 3D scanning of objects and details

Measurement of large items (airplanes, helicopters, ships, submarines). Laser, optical, contact 3D scanning to obtain original data, restore lost documentation or make copies of products. Performance of work on reverse engineering of the product and its production technology.

Reverse engineering is often based on 3D scanning. There are scanning of large, medium and small-sized products. From this point of view, the most impressive is the scanning of large objects, such as a boat, car body, aircraft fuselage, train interior details, etc.

In cases where the customer requires the modernization of production equipment, the laying of new large technological complexes in an existing mode in order to avoid collisions and overlaps, as well as control of the accuracy of systems before installation, 3D scanning is used

Before any modernization associated with the movement of large objects, simulation of this operation in compliance with the high accuracy of the parametric model of objects is mandatory. It is especially important to simulate the movement of objects, on the accurate and safe operation of which the life and health of people depend. Such objects include large-sized transport: trains, planes, ships. In this case, the use of 3D scanning technologies is more than justified.

For large-scale 3D scanning, INNOVAX specialists use a Faro Focus 3D 120S 3D scanner. This basic version of 3D scanners is designed to work at a distance of up to 120 meters. The device uses a laser scanning system. Despite its extremely compact dimensions (240x200x200mm), the scanner has a wide range of capabilities, including color recording up to 70MP with automatic brightness adjustment.

However, when scanning large-sized objects, the most time-consuming process is the process of stitching scanned point clouds of product surfaces. The larger the size of the object, the more difficult this work is. Graphic stations with special software used for these purposes allow not to delay this stage of reverse engineering of large-sized objects.

For medium and small objects, INNOVAX uses the ROMER Absolute Arm scanner. The instrument provides first-class measurement results even on complex surfaces with inhomogeneous properties, as well as on machined parts made from the most advanced materials. The machine does not require adjustment of the system to the material, since the scanner head uses automatic laser power control. Adaptation of the power level to the measurement conditions on the surface is also provided automatically.

The ROMER Absolute Arm is the first laser scanner with a zoom function that allows you to use three scan lines of different widths when scanning.

The technical characteristics of the scanner are impressive:

  • measuring range - 3m,
  • point probing repeatability - +/- 0.042 mm,
  • spatial accuracy when probing -+/- 0.058 mm mm,
  • system error - 0.078 mm.

With this scanner, you can solve such production tasks as

  • recover lost documents,
  • making copies of products,
  • obtaining initial data for further design.

INNOVAKS is engaged in reverse engineering of both individual parts and assemblies, machines, systems and complexes.

In the process of reverse engineering of one part, not only its geometry is determined, but also the material, quality, manufacturing technology.

Reverse engineering of a node or system is much more labor intensive. At its core, this is practically the development of a completely new mechanism.
