In centrifugal equipment parts, the gear areas and spiral surfaces have complex geometric features, making it difficult for traditional manual measurement to effectively capture dimensions. This results in a lack of accurate references for reverse modeling and makes machining errors hard to control.
Application
INSVISION AlphaScan 3D scanner uses high-resolution structured light imaging technology, with a maximum scanning rate of 7.1 million measurements per second and 0.02mm industrial-grade accuracy. It can perform non-contact scanning of hard-to-reach areas such as tooth profiles and helix angles, quickly generating high-density 3D point cloud data. This data is directly used for reverse engineering, providing real geometric constraints for CAD modeling and eliminating subjective drawing errors.
Solution
After scanning, the measurement repeatability of key dimensions at gear meshing areas and spiral flow channels is significantly improved, and the deviation between the model and the physical part is controlled within an acceptable threshold. AlphaScan effectively enhances the dimensional traceability and modeling efficiency for complex centrifugal equipment parts.
