Back

This air-conditioned room is used for geometric controls and 3D digitisation of parts :

EQUIPMENT:

- Edge FaroArm sensor capacity 3 meters, tolerance 15µm
- Blue laser scan/ red laser scan with PolyWorks operating system
- Standard measuring equipment

Inspection of parts over 3 meters are executed by means of the measuring tool (digital sensor) on our horizontal lathe.

Back

Cleaning of parts by bead-blasting (glass beads) or by aluminium oxide.

Assembled rotors are cleaned by dry-ice blasting (CO² dry ice).
