From a long-term perspective, reference networks offer many benefits. They make it easier to initiate the measurement process for future tasks and thus save a lot of time. E. g. in rolling stands, reference networks are well suited to minimize the recurring expenses of machining operations.

How did the component deform in the course of production? Are the deviations worrying? The comparison of a current measurement with the original CAD model quickly gives precise answers as to whether the production is still within tolerances or whether it requires repair.

Whether setting up a processing machine, checking after a crash, as a routine check or when integrating new machines - with the Laser Tracker or the Laser Scan Arm, parallelism and axes can be determined with millimeter precision and then precisely aligned or adjusted.

A collision or other external influences have led to a deformation of machine parts? If you compare current measurement results with previous reference data, the damaged areas can be precisely identified and then processed in a targeted manner.

The machine is not running smoothly, but you do not know exactly which element is responsible? A measurement of the individual components quickly provides clarity. Such metrological checks using a Laser Tracker or Laser Scan Arm are also suitable for incoming goods inspection.

In particular, large, complex systems can be measured in detail with relatively little effort thanks to the Laser Scanner. For example, these measurement results can be a helpful preparation for the planned relocation of a complete production plant or for future change measures.

A metrological collision investigation in integration processes is an important preparatory process, for example when new machines are integrated into a plant. Thus, not only the ideal location, but also the right path to the factory floor can be reliably determined.

The results of laser scans offer a variety of uses. Among other things, they can serve as a template for any kind of customization. Common examples include custom-made protective covers for transporting sensitive components or custom-made tool boxes.

The measurement of machine components or general components by means of laser scanning forms a precise basis for the digitization of these objects. Thus, optimizations or additional components can first be tested in the digital environment and then efficiently realized on the basis of these findings.

Certain conditions and materials require non-contact inspections. A typical example of this are clean room areas. With the aid of the Laser Scanner for large objects and the Laser Scan Arm for smaller components, necessary inspections can be carried out easily without surface contact.

A typical application of laser metrology is reverse engineering. With our various measuring devices, larger and smaller individual parts can be measured and examined separately in order to better understand the overall system. Even CAD models can be created subsequently.

The combination of various laser scan images can be used to create comprehensive 360-degree tours through entire production facilities. These are suitable, for example, for redevelopment planning. The responsible planning officer can thus comfortably "enter" the 3D system at any time from his desk and save time-consuming on-site visits.
