Scanning Target

SCANNING – Target-Base fixturing systems for 3D Scanning

 

Reference points, dot marks, targets, measurement marks or adhesive marks…

 

The designations for measuring points for referencing in the various scanning measurement technologies are very diverse. However, the problem is always the same: these self-adhesive points cause a lot of effort when they are stuck directly onto the test specimen and then have to be removed again afterwards. The ideal scenario for many metrology technicians is that the measuring points are not stuck directly onto the component, but onto special elements that can be spatially positioned anywhere to suit the test specimen and the measuring task. And especially when it comes to measuring the same components in series production, the fast, repeatable fixation of the test specimen within an optimally placed arrangement of measuring reference points marks the pinnacle of process efficiency. Based on truly many discussions with competent scanning users dk, as a specialist for fixation systems defines the following solutions.

  • » Support elements for measuring points with up to 31 planes, known as dk Target Bases
  • » Target Bases in S, M and L for different sized measuring points to suit the scanner focusing
  • » Target Bases with M2.5 and M6 threads or, as an alternative with adaptable retaining magnets
  • » Relaunch of the OCTOFIX programme as an ideal support for small test specimens and simultaneous placement of Target Bases as satellites around the component being scanned
  • » TurnStop articulated arms as maximum fixating 3D clamping joints for any fixed-variable 3D spatial positioning of Target Bases
  • » Endless possibilities to fasten these Target Bases with the dk fixation programmes SWA39, SPANNFIX PRO and ECO, QUADERFIX, OCTOFIX and by means of the dk articulated systems and to 3D spatially align
