Dynamic measurement plays a fundamental role in every discerning manufacturer’s product development and quality control processes. Dynamic measurement can be involved in a variety of applications, such as car suspension or exhaust displacement analysis in the automotive industry, dummy positioning before crash tests, highly accurate real-time guided assembly of rocket parts in aerospace industry, and much more. By replacing traditional measuring systems, accelerometers, numeric comparators and gauges, Creaform’s portable 3D measurement solutions and their advanced dynamic measurement capabilities quickly and accurately perform real-time 6D measurements (3D position and orientation).

Deformation measurement

Deformation or strain can occur very quickly under extreme testing environments. In order to anticipate and minimize potential component failure or breakage, you must be able to perform fast and accurate dynamic analyses. Creaform’s portable 3D measurement solutions enable you to measure a component’s position and orientation in space, simultaneously and continuously—with a high degree of accuracy. As a result, you can track both deformations and displacements on objects of any size and with any degree of complexity.

Positioning and alignment

Errors caused by improper alignment of production machines can cause not only quality control issues for your production runs but also downtimes and potential tool damage. Creaform’s portable 3D measurement solutions help you to precisely position and align your production machines right on the shop floor increase efficiency and eliminate expensive errors.

Robot and machine calibration

Robot and CNC machines can be significantly improved with theoretical models before implementation in real-life production. Creaform’s portable 3D measurement solutions allow you to record accurately in real time. These models are key to rapidly calibrating your production machines as well applying real-time course correction to your robots.
