ANGLERFISH FOR STEERING HOUSING

Steering housings, checked after trimming

Anglerfish for Steering Housing inspects die-cast steering housings after trimming. Inspection coverage and 3D views are defined for the part geometry.

What it catches

0.2 mmExcess or missing material
Flatness and regularity of the trimmed areas, with deviations detected from 0.2 mm upwards on the steering housing.
HolesCracks and occlusions
Cracks and occlusions of the holes, even partial ones.
BeforeMachining
Visible anomalies in the inspected areas are detected before subsequent machining.

THE FILM

A part in a few seconds

Each part is compared with a dynamic, constantly updated “master part”. In a few steps:

  1. 013D reconstruction of the part
  2. 02High-resolution multi-camera scanning and laser triangulation
  3. 033D analysis on the views defined for the part
  4. 04Alignment, filtering and distance calculation between master and inspected part
Inspection interface with two views of the part, defects highlighted in red and the day’s counters
The operator interface: defects found on both views, enlarged details and the day’s results.

ON THE MACHINE

Built for the people on the line

  1. 01
