Since the dawn of time, new ideas and technological developments have made significant changes in our world. From the discovery of fire to flying in space, we have used our ingenuity to expand our capabilities.
This continues today with advancements such as laser scanning and laser tracking. These industrial surveying methods have been employed by the aerospace industry to further their exacting standards.
Precision brings savings as well. Industry leader Boeing, has enjoyed gains of more than 4.5 billion by engaging this technology.
Falk PLI is now providing this same advantage to the metals industries—offering exact analytical capabilities linked directly to cost savings.
Traditional industrial surveying measurements with optical tooling and piano wire, offer little when compared to the accuracy of laser scanning and tracking. Data is subject to the limitations of equipment, and the potential for human error.
Modern laser alignment delivers quantity and quality—exponentially. Laser scanning produces detailed analysis for structural evaluation, with accuracies to 1/8th inch. Laser tracking offers a closer inspection with tolerances to 1/1,000th of an inch.
The quantity of digital data available through laser scanning and tracking speaks for itself. With up to 10,000 readings per second, it takes more measurements in one position—delivering detail that far surpasses older surveying methods.
Dynamic tracking brings the numbers to life, as real time measurements reveal position while the equipment is moving.
Temperature data is also available, to track seasonal changes—or even night to day variances. And features such as 3D modeling bring yet another level of inspection to view.
Data is collected in the blink of an eye, so it takes mere hours—not days to complete the initial readings. The information is compiled in an electronic database, and can be analyzed off-site while equipment is up and running.
In business, efficiency affects the bottom line. Falk PLI Laser technology delivers... with more data, and better accuracy—in less time.
Obtaining this valuable data is now a reality, but information alone doesn't solve problems. It takes experience and custom programming to bring significant details to light. Falk PLI can simplify the problem and amplify the benefit, with consultation and recommendations for improvement.
In some cases, data reveals problems that were present during original equipment installation. These, too, can often be corrected to increase equipment life and product quality.
When the analysis is complete, follow-up inspections are available to ensure that the modifications are performing as expected.
Experience the power of relevant information, combined with the expertise of our staff. You'll see better thru-put performance, and longer equipment life.
