Discover the impact of 3D metrology on precision manufacturing

Precision machined components have dozens to hundreds of critical specifications that require high-quality measurements to verify compliance and help ensure expected performance and longevity. Any deviations can have large impacts on final performance, but accessing many of these critical callouts has been challenging due to complex geometries and part sizes – both large and small. Register now for our 30-minute IMTS Preview webinar with 4D Technology, taking place on September 5 at 12PM ET, and learn how non-contact, high-resolution 3D metrology can boost productivity and quality in precision manufacturing.

4D Technology will discuss their latest 3D optical surface gauges, developed in conjunction with major aerospace and precision components manufacturers, which assess critical surfaces in seconds – right on the shop floor. They will discuss their industrial portfolio which leverages patented technology for rapid surface measurements unaffected by vibration, including:

Handheld, portable systems:

• 4D InSpec: the first handheld, precision instrument for non-contact surface defect measurement, with a measurement area of 8mm x 8mm. Now with improved resolution down to 2um
• New! 4D InSpec SR: the industry’s first handheld, nm-level resolution surface roughness system for precision machined surfaces, enabling high-resolution 3D (areal) roughness of hard-to-reach areas and large samples right on the shop floor.

Automated cobot systems:

• 4Di InSpec AMS: a fully automated 3D, optical inspection system to measure hundreds of callouts in minutes! Quantify features such as chamfer, radius, edge break, and thread geometries and defects such as pits, dings, and scratches.
• New! 4Di Multi-Sensor Inspection Cell: a multi-sensor, automated system that can detect surface features and defects quickly with bright-field technology, and then quantify the area of interest with high-resolution 3D optical metrology.
