Application
- Inspection of 2m diameter Plasma coated Ogive form
- In plasma coatings a nano-scale polymer layer, 1/100th thickness of a human hair, is formed over the surface. It is a permanent coating, being bound to the material surface on an atomic scale
- These coatings deliver two main categories of surface property: totally liquid repellent (water & oil), or totally immersible
Solution
- LC15Dx line scanner
- CAMIO and FOCUS software
- LK coordinate measuring machine
Benefits
- Accuracy - LC15Dx accuracy similar to that of a touch probe however laser scanner does not suffer tip compensation problems of touch probe when measuring complex surfaces
- Non contact - touching the surface coating during measurement it is not permitted
- Productivity - automated CMM laser scanning more efficient than manual arm inspection, operators is now available for other tasks and duties during the inspection cycle
