Laser profiling can help you get the most accurate measurements for your next industrial part job. Many people using welded, die-cut, handmade, or cast metal parts need the most precise measurements technology can offer. People take measurements of prototypes, parts they need to copy, parts for repair, and more. Industrial projects also typically require exact measurements of existing parts that will connect to pieces that are in production.
Laser technology allows professionals to take these measurements quickly around the entire part. Assess damaged parts, parts that are welded together, parts that don’t align properly, and more. You can use the laser to take up to 4000 profiles per second. The computer will compile all the 2D images into a useful 3D image. You can use the diagram to examine reference points, design, and more. People also use these images to improve their inspection process and relay important information to customers.
The technology makes use of triangulation and embedded Field Programmable Gate Arrays. Some laser cameras are designed to produce measurements for even the most reflective metals. They may even work on iridescent metals and metals that glow in the dark.
Laser imaging equipment has an optimal positioning distance for each machine. Your shop staff may set you up with different laser equipment for different types of parts. This process is widely used to inspect pipes and send pipe flow or damage information to engineers. You can also use it on industrial blanks to check the alignment of different parts.
