Overview
Tracer Laser Projectors save time by removing the need for physical templates on the manufacturing floor. BuildIT Projector Software makes it possible by enabling in-process verification and feature-based alignment capabilities. The software serves as a powerful tool for generating, planning and operating imaging laser projection and verification workflows.
Business Value of BuildIT Projector
- Increase Efficiency : The ability to create automated, guided, repeatable workflows directly from CAD models streamlines manufacturing and building processes. These workflows can easily be performed even by inexperienced users.
- Maximize Quality : Laser-guided sequences and part placement, along with in-process verification and manufacturing process control, allow operators to construct and assemble correctly the first time, every time.
- Minimize Cost : Eliminating the creation and maintenance of specific hard-tooling and templates for a variety of parts keeps costs down. Digital files can simply be created and shared. A laser templating solution with in-process verification significantly reduces potential scrap and rework.
- Solve Unique Challenges : Multiple FARO hardware devices can be combined to deliver unique solutions solving complex customer challenges (e.g., ability to see results in real life with projections derived from measurements).
BuildIT Projector Features
- Projector Planner : Import 3D CAD files for generating projection sequencing and part placement workflows.
- Projection-assisted Assembly : Easily place and align parts according to layered projection plans.
- Feature-based (targetless) Alignment : Compare known features of an object to the CAD model for alignment purposes in a process that’s faster and easier than the setup for laser-guided assembly.
- In-process Verification : Use quality-assurance checkpoints during and after critical assembly processes.
- Foreign Object and Debris (FOD) Detection : Enhance quality assurance.
3D Metrology Applications
- Fast, Accurate Production, Fabrication and Assembly : Rely on Tracer 3D Laser Projectors for any assembly guidance or positioning need, especially in high-volume production. The aerospace and defense industries rely on the technology for composite part layup, system bracket placement, rib and stringer placement, paint templating and more. The automotive and heavy equipment industries use it for precision placement, weld locations, production line and robot station layouts and precision table applications, among others.
- Improved Quality Control and Inspection : Perform in-process verification at any step of the process to detect deviations in real time. Tracer 3D laser image projectors provide valuable insight for industrial automation quality control.
