Using 3D Scanning and Laser Tracker Technology for Large-Volume Measurements
1 of 4 Enter Big Challenges The challenge, of course, is being able to get accurate measurements of all the surface angles of parts that big. “We were using rods and transit, wires, blocks, squares,” explains Janet McMillan, Quality Assurance Manager at Wagstaff. “They’re not inaccurate, they’re just very manually demanding.”Which translates to time and money. “Let’s say you have two machine planes, one on the top and one on the bottom and some plane may be hidden or inaccessible,” says Aleksandr Bakhtin, Quality Assurance Technician at Wagstaff. “In some situations, there’s no fast and efficient way to manually measure the distance from one point to the other.” Ryan E.
