In many industries, including the energy sector, inspection teams often struggle with carrying out 3D measurements on large-sized parts. Indeed, inspecting large components in harsh environments, such as impeller turbines, can be challenging when using traditional assessment methods, which can be impacted by human error and instabilities of the surrounding inspection environment.
However, new technologies, like easy-to-use 3D scanners, portable CMM technologies and photogrammetric cameras, are proving to be viable solutions to accelerate and improve the accuracy of 3D measurement results, regardless of:
-
part’s size
-
geometry complexity
-
surface
-
inspection conditions
-
operator’s skills.
ANDRITZ Hydro GmbH is just one of many companies that is harnessing the performance of portable metrology solutions to elevate their 3D measurement capabilities. Investing in the HandySCAN 3D scanner and MaxSHOT 3D optical coordinate measuring system has them significantly reduce inspection times. But before investing in metrology solutions to inspect large parts, there are several factors to consider.
