SK/inspect
Time is a key element in production processes, and today it is essential to inspect 100% to ensure optimal quality for your customers. However, current metrology solutions require advanced measurement knowledge that is not typically common on the shop floor.
Therefore, Sariki offers you the ideal solution to meet these needs: fast and intuitive software so that any worker can perform 3D scans and analyze parts produced daily, increasing productivity and improving the performance of your production processes.
SK/inspect processes 3D point clouds from any laser or structured light scanner. Point clouds captured with your chosen scanner are processed on the production floor, and the results are displayed as color maps. The data obtained is sent to a cloud database, which any department in any plant can access via a 3D web viewer using any standard web browser.
The application offers three different tools:
1 PLANNER
Measurement definition tool aimed at metrologists
A tool designed to specify the alignment and tolerance procedure parameters for each reference model. Alignment is carried out by specifying a set of 3D primitives (planes, spheres, etc.) that approximate relevant regions of the CAD model. These primitives are used to register or align the input point cloud with the CAD model in the same reference frame. In this way, alignment is optimized to meet the functional requirements of the part.
2 INSPECT
Measurement tool aimed at operators
This tool executes the inspection process and compares the point cloud with the CAD reference model. It has been designed to work autonomously on the production floor without human intervention. Thus, the tool constantly monitors the scanner and automatically starts the inspection process as soon as new data is available.
During this comparison process, the point cloud is processed sequentially as follows:
- Removal of external elements.
- Alignment.
- Primitive fitting.
- Comparison.
3 VIEWER
Web viewer aimed at the quality department
All measurement data is stored on a server for remote viewing. Engineers and metrologists wishing to monitor the quality of manufactured parts can access the centralized website and inspect the results interactively. If necessary, users can also create a report for the inspected part.
The web viewer presents the user with a list of available scanned parts.
- New scan results are immediately displayed remotely.
- The list can be filtered by scan date and/or reference CAD model.
- Upon selecting a scan, the corresponding part is loaded and displayed in 3D using a color map.
- Metadata is displayed, including a histogram of dimensional error values for the entire part.
The 3D viewer has the following functions:
- Interactive, manipulable view.
- Error inspection.
- Labels.
- Image capture.
Vicomtech-IK4 has collaborated in the development of SK/inspect and has integrated its Geomlib SDK, a high-performance geometric processing tool designed for industrial applications.
Applications
SK/inspect is designed to meet the needs of any industrial sector where measurement scanners (portable or fixed) are used for production control. Especially for manufacturing environments and processes where high processing speed is required. SK/inspect provides real-time data on the status of your parts and helps you make decisions in your production process.
Custom Solution
Sariki has committed to developing and applying its own metrology solutions in the industrial environment. SK/inspect has been developed as an open solution to solve complex challenges not yet covered, and can be adapted to the specific needs of each case to customize the solution for your optimal performance.
Main added value of this solution:
- Data flow fully integrable into a connected smart factory.
