Component Measurements for Aerospace Suppliers with the API Laser Tracker

Component Measurements for Aerospace Suppliers with the API Laser Tracker

The aerospace sector has the most stringent quality standards in the world. This does not just apply to airplane manufacturers, but also to suppliers.

AMAS ENGINEERING GmbH (Germany) requires manufacturing inspection of components, which can be as large as 20 meters, to a tenth of a millimeter.
At first sight, the accuracy requirements confronted by AMAS ENGINEERING GmbH appear insurmountable.

In addition, new opportunities in the construction and plant manufacturing sectors mean even larger
distances with tighter tolerances. For these reasons, AMAS has relied on laser tracker service since 1999.

Considering that the laser tracker would be used on a daily basis in heavy-duty manufacturing environments, the system had to be robust as well as accurate. The API Tracker3, was uniquely qualified to meet these needs. Offering the longest range and highest accuracy of its competitors, the Tracker3 is also designed for harsh environments and large temperature variations. Also, the API Tracker has a measurement volume of up to 120 meters, which reassures companies when measuring larger areas in construction and plant maintenance applications

Today, the API Laser Tracker is used for measuring AMAS ENGINEERING´s large 3D welding components and for adjusting plates.
