FOCUS | Point Cloud Inspection Software

Focus point cloud software drives a digital inspection process. The core of this process is the 3D inspection suite featuring easy-to-interpret part-to-CAD comparisons and advanced feature inspection.

FOCUS drives LK Metrology's H120 handheld laser scanners and FREEDOM arms

Focus presents a clear, graphical UI where users will feel at ease immediately with direct access to most used functions. Offering tightly integrated data acquisition – via handheld scanners – and intelligent processing and reporting. Direct access to workflow selection, customization and automation facilitate the setup and execution of processing jobs.

Highlights

Surface Inspection

Part-to-CAD inspection compares the acquired point cloud with nominal CAD data and displays geometric deviations in a clear graphical report.

Full part-to-CAD inspection
2D and 3D sections
Wall thickness, edge analysis, etc.
Customizable flyouts for clear interpretation

Feature Inspection

Checking the position and dimensions of component features is crucial to guarantee an optimal fit later in the assembly process.

Automatic and semi-automatic feature detection
2D features: surface point, hole, slot, etc.
3D basic features: cylinder, sphere, plane, etc.
3D advanced features: T-stud, key, pin, fir tree, etc.
Sectional inspection of gap & flush between assemblies (closure panels, interior trim, etc.)
Definition of user-specific flush & gap gauges
Combi hem: creation of virtual edge points

True Metrology Solution

A perfect assembly is guaranteed when the feature geometries meet the specified tolerances. Focus Inspection supports the internationally accepted ASME Y14.5 GD&T standard, making it a true metrology solution.

Imports GD&T data from nominal CAD
Complete set of certified GD&T functions to define tolerances on form, orientation and location
PTB certified feature calculation algorithms

Virtual Assembly

Digital copies of reference parts are used to build an assembly with the CAD model or other point cloud data. This approach saves material by avoiding expensive templates, fixtures and scrap. It saves additional time by avoiding lengthy physical assembly builds, resulting in faster decision-making and shorter pre-production processes.

Portable, Handheld Inspection

Portable CMMs are flexible scanning solutions typically used on- or off-site for inspection jobs, such as pre-series troubleshooting. Preparation effort is limited to system setup, followed by scanning the part and performing the analysis. Focus Handheld’s perfectly integrated experience with LK Metrology hardware streamlines the scan data acquisition and processing.
