Cross-Sectional Scanning Delivers 100% Inspection through Assessment of Complex Molded Parts

From CGI Inspection
 

 

Traditional inspection tools may yield an incomplete assessment of injection molded parts. And with a direct correlation of time to measurement points, more data may be impractical or impossible. As the demand for quality heightens, time to market shortens, and designs become increasingly complex, new tools are needed to maintain your competitive advantage and reduce your product costs.

Cross-Sectional Scanning is that tool. This optical inspection technology creates an ultra-dense point cloud that delivers 100 percent inspection and data capture. That's right; every feature-whether internal or external- is fully described.

Cross-Sectional Scanning is the tool for inspection and reverse engineering of components that are intricate, feature-laden or complex; it is also the tool for parts that have inaccessible features; and it can handle most molded materials, even clear plastic. What's more, with automated operation, job templates and advanced color mapping, Cross-Sectional Scanning does more in less time.
