Tool Building & Setup

Tool building and injection moulding within the automotive, aerospace, and shipbuilding industries require a high degree of accuracy and repeatability. FARO’s laser tracker and measuring arm are portable CMMs which can perform full volumetric accuracy tests on tools and moulds to ensure the parts are being manufactured to the highest standard. With these metrology instruments, tool makers can also identify or predict defects by evaluating the dimensional integrity and repeatability of tools and moulds.

Precision Toolmaker Expands In-House Capabilities with FARO’s 3D Measurement Solutions

Tooling: TOOLCON Systems
“We are now able to reach areas that were previously inaccessible with other solutions due to the ergonomically-designed 7-axis FaroArm,” expressed Mr. Mungade.

FARO Offers Accurate Measurements to Automated Systems Provider Perfect Precision at Each Stage of Installation

Mechanical Assembly: Dalian Zhiyun
Zhiyun owns 6 FaroArms in varying lengths — and they satisfy a range of measurement needs, while allowing the team to handle different measurement volumes. When deployed for measurements at assembly sites, the team only requires 10 minutes from installation to inspection.

FARO: Capturing 0.003-Inch Measurements with a Laser Scanner

Aviation: HIZEAERO Co. Ltd.
The Ti-Foil is an ultrathin titanium film with a thickness of just 0.003 inch (0.076 mm), and this posed a major challenge to the team at Hizeaero, both in terms of production and inspection. Capable of scanning at 560,000 points per second, the LLP captures even the most intricate components in fine detail.

From Inspection to Alignment: Nabeya Manufacturing Utilizes FARO Devices for Various Measurements

Aerospace: Nabeya Manufacturing Co. Ltd.
In addition to aircraft components, Nabeya Manufacturing recently expanded its laser measurement services to include inspection of automobile parts and tool jigs, alignment of large-scale energy machinery, and reverse engineering of turbine casings.
