ZeroTouch® enables leading aerospace manufacturers to comprehensively measure, digitize, and evaluate their high-precision components with quick cycle times on the floor or even automated in-inline. Measure everything on the part print with exacting accuracy in a non-contact manner without the risk of interjecting FOD (foreign object debris). Free from the need to physically probe the part; the workpiece can be fully covered with laser data for dimensional, GD&T, and visualization of a color map of physical part deviation from nominal.
In the aerospace industry, the adoption of non-contact measurements and NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) technologies has transformed the inspection process. These advanced methods offer significant advantages:
These benefits collectively contribute to making aviation safer at every touchpoint, ensuring the integrity and reliability of each aircraft part. The application of such technology not only enhances operational efficiency but also reinforces the safety and trust essential in aerospace manufacturing.
Laser fast part inspection, as measurement times as low as 12 seconds combined with instant evaluation of the inspection program means more parts measured and elimination of the logistical challenges of walking to the CMM lab. Save floor space for the manufacturing process and keep skilled labor working directly on value added tasks.
With CAD and full metrology capability, traditional gauging processes are taken to the next level. Millions of points create a full digital twin of the workpiece that can be evaluated for future tolerances and measurements. Ensure high-quality production today supports quality design of experiment studies and data mining tomorrow and enables selective recalls when new issues require a different process to protect the customer.
While confirming parts produced are to print, full process monitoring enables optimizing tool life, better-planning downtime, and corrective action when production trends in the wrong direction. Full-fidelity digital twin with high-level inspection reporting is in the hands of the entire production team, from integration into a MES system, email alerts, or colors, to inspection reports on the engineer’s desktop web browsers and cell phone email box.
