3D Metrology Services – Industrial – Industrial Knife Inspection

Intelligent Solutions for Industrial Knife Inspection

Our team at EDM Intelligent Solutions utilizes unique 3D Metrology equipment to quickly and accurately measure components with intricate geometry of all shapes and sizes. With our 3D Metrology Services, we are able to offer our customers in-depth, non-contact, and non-destructive measurements of almost any shape, size, and form. 

We implement our advanced, non-contact high-resolution 3D scanning technology to capture detailed surface data from multiple sections along the knife edge. This data is then used to construct precise 3D models, enabling the extraction of highly accurate 2D profiles. Through these profiles and 3D models, our team can precisely analyze its form, including radii, angles, heights, and diameters.

The GD&T and 3D measurements of this component were completed using our RSH-M10 Robotic Metrology System.

Inspection Process

A yellow industrial robot arm, identified as a FANUC robot, is positioned over a long, metallic component that appears to be a part of an aircraft wing or a similar aerospace structure. The robot is equipped with a vision system, indicated by a black box with a lens and lighting, labeled "EDM Intelligent Solutions." This setup suggests the robot is engaged in an automated inspection or manufacturing process, possibly for quality control or precision assembly, given the markings and numerous holes on the metallic component. The component itself is partially covered with a blue padded material and secured with a yellow strap, indicating careful handling and preparation for the robotic operation. The background is a plain, light-colored wall, typical of a manufacturing or industrial facility.

 

Captured Mesh

A 3D rendering of a curved, tent-like structure with a teal interior and a textured gray exterior. The shape suggests a protective covering or shelter, with its smooth, arcing form and distinct color contrast between the inner and outer surfaces.

 

Section Profile

A 3D rendering of a curved, textured surface, possibly a segment of a cylinder or a barrel vault, is shown against a white background. A prominent black line runs vertically down the center of the visible surface, dividing it into two sections. The left side of the surface is a teal color, while the right side is a textured gray. The overall impression is that of a digital model or a conceptual representation of a structural element.

 

Form Measurement

A 3D scan of a component shows a section with a nominal radius of +1.5000, an actual radius of +1.0857, and a deviation of -0.4143. The scan highlights the curvature and deviation from the intended design.
