3D Scanning for Energy & Heavy Industry Application
Heavy industry is a type of business that involves a high capital cost, big equipment, and low transportability. The items produced by heavy industry used to be products such as oil, iron, and construction equipment, which are essential to economic development and industrialization of economics. As a part of the supply chain of other products, energy, and heavy industry has become the foundation to produce consumer products.
High-tech 3D measurement technology is extensively used in the machinery manufacturing of heavy industry, from product design & optimization, FAI, assembly analysis, and quality control to simulation.
Scantech’s portable 3D laser scanners, optical tracking 3D scanners, and automated 3D measurement systems can be used in energy and heavy industry. The portability of our accurate 3D scanners makes it possible to measure large-scale parts, including wind power hubs, tractor chassis, and excavator arms right on-site without having to move them around. Their advanced algorithm can deliver measurement results with an accuracy of up to 0.02 mm to ensure the parts manufactured to meet the stringent requirements.
Scantech is dedicated to helping manufacturers improve efficiency and take the lead in the highly competitive market. We cater to a variety of needs in energy and heavy industry, specifically:
3D Inspection
Scantech 3D measurement technologies truly deliver non-destructive inspections. Compared with contact measurement, 3D laser scanning is much faster and more flexible in capturing full 3D data. The 3D data of complicated curved surfaces, their coaxial and cylindricity can also be easily obtained, while the traditional solutions are challenging to achieve. However, handheld 3D laser scanners can get complete 3D data without damaging the products.
Reverse Engineering
Scantech industrial handheld 3D scanners can capture high-precision 3D data of objects for the reverse engineering of mechanical products. The accuracy of 3D laser scanners can be up to 0.02 mm to ensure more accurate reverse modeling, which saves development costs and shortens development cycles for machinery manufacturers.
Maintenance
Mechanical wear is inevitable during the fabrication and application of mechanical products. Even minor errors can cause huge losses, therefore, product maintenance is indispensable. With KSCAN, SIMSCAN, and AXE 3D laser scanners, we can accurately obtain 3D data of mechanical products. This way, we can correctly find the worn parts and better understand how to maintain the products based on 3D data.
