Whether your company builds aircraft, cars, ships, submarines or recreational vehicles, the need for fast and accurate, three-dimensional measurement exists throughout all stages of design and engineering, production and assembly, and final inspection. Following are some applications where the SPG DATA 3D measuring system can deliver considerable savings in both time and cost when compared to traditional measuring methods.

SPG DATA 3D successfully inspects turbo engine parts. One example is our fully automated fan blade inspection system, which is certified and used by Rolls Royce Canada's Repair Center of Excellence in Montreal, Quebec. Other examples of applications in the aerospace industry include:

• tooling inspection
• inspection of structural parts


Aerospace:
Blade inspection station
• inspection of turbine blades' cooling holes
• rivet inspection on the bodies of airplanes and helicopters
• inspection of composite parts
• digitalization of wiring and wire harness assemblies
• shot peening inspection

Many applications in the automotive industry are similar to those in the aerospace industry. The flexibility of SPG DATA 3D solutions translates into a wide range of applications where a high level of precision and automation is essential. Here are some examples:

• reverse engineering of oil pans
• inspection of polymer gas tanks
• real-time robotic applications
• inspection of sea-doo hulls

The modular construction of today’s large ships requires rigorous dimensional control at each phase of production, which facilitates the efficient positioning and aligning of the ship's block structures during the ship erection process. The SPG DATA 3D tool accurately calculates three-dimensional coordinates of critical object points and performs dimensional analyses. Compared to traditional measuring methods, SPG DATA 3D saves you time while providing a software tool that creates comprehensive numerical and graphical reports. SPG DATA 3D also inspects/measures underwater hull structures, including propellers and rudders.
