TEMPLATE SIZE Iris SPS Solves Problems with Conventional Assembly using Templates The size and complexity of templates often make it difficult to align them to parts. Even small alignment errors often lead to exponential errors in hardware placement. Engineering changes to a product constantly wreak havoc on the manufacturing process, especially around the product’s launch. These changes are costly in both time and dollars because they usually require new templates or tooling. Due to the nature of the work environment, templates wear out and break over time. Damage from dropping, weld splatter and constant use may go undetected for months, causing large variation in the accuracy and repeatability of attached hardware. Templates are large, heavy, and complex making it difficult to align them accurately to parts. In addition to causing physical strain on the body as a result of lifting, templates consume a large amount of valuable floor space. For years, companies manufacturing heavy machinery, locomotives, ships, and other large-scale products have used conventional assembly techniques, including templates, to construct their products. But, templates consume valuable space, are unwieldy and rarely map to actual datums. The entire process is expensive, often frustrating, and can lead to injuries. All this is about to change, with breakthrough technology from Virtek.
Accelerate Manufacturing Eliminate time-consuming tool creation and design-change remakes. Control Precision Prevent errors caused when using incorrect reference points on the part. Ensure Quality Verify that welding was properly done. LSR1 Laser Projector Save Money Eliminate expensive template, tooling and fixture costs.
