Quality Control
In today’s globalised competitive environment, flawless product quality is the key to success.
Your market success is defined by factors such as dimensional stability, coherent shape consistency and constant surface properties … essential parameters for highest product quality.
Print3D-Quality Inspection of Plastic Parts
The Wirthwein AG, a well-known German manufacturer of plastic components for the automotive, railway, electronics and home appliances industries as well as for medical science products, employs a Breuckmann scanning system in order to process the recorded 3D data of their components for evaluations with respect to geometry, shape and position tolerances and CAD comparisons.
Objective and Measuring Object
Application areas at Wirthwein range from first sample inspection and process optimisation to random inline production quality inspection. Task of this particular project is to generate 3D measurement data of a component for a car door (200 x 140 x 30 mm) to be exported into a special 3D inspection software.
The object surface is semi-transparent, and in particular to capture the important „clips“ components at very high accuracy is a major requirement. The object exhibits a complex geometry with shading areas, undercuts and numerous edges which pose a particular
difficulty to conventional digitisation systems.
Measuring System and Setup
Given the demanding requirements with regard to resolution, feature accuracy and flexibility combined with the demand to simultaneously scan areas which are difficult to access from three different triangulation angles, Wirthwein decided in favour of Breuckmann’s top-end measuring system stereoSCAN 3D-HE.
To achieve a virtually automated digitisation process, the scanner is combined with a turntable (available as optional accessory).
