Free “Optical Measuring Techniques in Injection Moulding Process Chains” workshop

1 min read

Today global consumer goods companies are commissioning higher quality plastic parts in hours, rather than weeks, based on the fast results from GOM 3D scanning systems.

This workshop offers injection moulders from R&D, quality control, tool design and construction departments the chance to exchange experiences and gain insights into actual optical 3D coordinate measuring techniques and solutions for the injection moulding industry. Areas covered in the workshop will include: - Exchange of experiences with users - Reports from the field - Demonstration of the current measuring systems - Evaluation and measurement report creation - Scanning and touch probing with a single system - Automation - Targeted tool & die correction - Shortening of product ramp-up - Faster first sampling - 3D Shape & Dimension Control The workshop will utilise the ATOS 3D Digitizer which is a flexible and mobile optical measurement machine. Rather than tactile touch probing of single points, the ATOS system captures the whole surface geometry with a high-resolution and dense point cloud. For different component sizes and complexities the ATOS generates precise 3D coordinates for full-field nominal/actual comparison to CAD-data, for inspection sections and wall-thickness analysis and also delivers complete inspection reports. The ATOS 3D Digitizer allows full-field measurement of prototypes, first articles, injection moulded parts, blow-moulded parts, foam parts, moulds, dies and tools. The fast surface white-light pattern projection system can be combined with a handheld touch probe for inspection of optically hidden surfaces. The worskshop will take place 10am to 3pm, Wednesday 26th May 2010 at Warwickshire Golf & Country Club, Leek Wootton, Warwick CV35 7QT.
