Invitation to the spGauge/spScan Software Operation Experience Session [Free Participation] | Product Inspection and Reverse Engineering

Providing high-precision inspection results with appropriate alignment methods tailored to the inspection target and purpose!

The "spGauge" is a high-performance inspection tool that not only compares point cloud data with CAD data but also enables the alignment of point cloud data from master products with the point cloud data of the measurement target. Additionally, it supports alignment methods using overall shapes or parts, as well as reference features (such as planes, lines, and hole positions). This allows users to select the appropriate alignment method based on the inspection target and purpose, resulting in high-precision inspection results. 【Alignment (Excerpt)】 ■ Alignment at reference features ■ Alignment at cross-sections ■ Touch alignment ■ Alignment that matches corresponding surfaces *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Inspect gaps and interference areas with shape inspection! Assemble actual parts virtually and display with a color map.

The product inspection software 'spGauge' allows for virtual assembly and the verification of interferences and gaps. For automotive door panels, actual pressed parts are assembled to inspect gaps and interference points between components, but this process consumes time for preparation, measurement, and aggregation. By utilizing non-contact measurement point cloud data of each pressed part along with CAD data, it is possible to virtually assemble the parts and detect gaps and interference points, obtaining numerical information as well. 【Product Features】 ■ By aligning the measurement data of each pressed part with the CAD data and performing shape inspection (error color mapping) on the aligned measurement data, gaps and interference points can be confirmed. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

From detecting defects in resin products to issuing countermeasure instructions! Building a user-specific database for countermeasure instructions.

The product inspection software 'spGauge' can be utilized to support the design and manufacturing operations of resin manufacturers. With shape inspection (error color map), it is easy to identify the locations and phenomena of defects; however, simply displaying the defective areas can lead to human errors such as oversight or misjudgment in countermeasures. This product not only detects defective areas that differ from CAD data without omission and displays the number of defective locations, but it can also annotate phenomena and causes inferred from the characteristics of the CAD data shape. 【Product Features】 ■ The optional feature CATS_Mold includes a function that displays phenomenon annotations for defective areas based on shape inspection results. ■ A user-specific database for countermeasure instructions can be built, allowing for easy instruction of countermeasures for the phenomena of defective areas. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Support for the digitization of hand-finished molds.

spScan provides a "partial reverse function" that allows for the non-contact measurement of the final shape of hand-finished press molds, converting it into point cloud data and reflecting it in CAD data. This enables accurate CAD representation of shapes that have been manually modified, significantly reducing the number of trial and error iterations during the production of secondary molds from 6 to 2 (a 65% reduction in man-hours), achieving substantial efficiency and cost savings. - Accurately reflects hand-finishing information of molds in CAD - Significantly reduces the number of trials and man-hours during secondary mold production - Allows for partial reverse design with high modification efficiency - Utilizes point cloud data to visualize discrepancies between the actual product and design - Capable of digitizing the know-how of skilled technicians *For more details, please refer to the page below or feel free to contact us.

Reverse engineering mechanical components such as screws and gears!

Mechanical components require precise 3D modeling because the accuracy of their shape and surface treatment directly affects product performance. spScan easily reproduces solid shapes based on point cloud data from non-contact scanning. It allows for intuitive functions such as rotational copying of shapes while reflecting the fitting accuracy with polygons, making it easy to create reverse surfaces. Solid modeling that meets the desired accuracy is possible even with complex primitive surface configurations. Additionally, it features multiple reverse methods (patch surfaces, CAD surfaces, partial reverse) that can be selected according to the application and modification scope of the parts, significantly reducing the time and effort from design to evaluation and remanufacturing.

The particle visualization technology developed under our brand "ViEST" has a very high level of detection sensitivity, capable of visualizing the suspended or adhered states of micro and nano-sized particles in real time. We are engaged in the sale of visualization systems and contract services for evaluation (investigating particles and airflow in production processes, inside and outside manufacturing equipment, evaluating the performance of cleaning products, proposing yield improvement measures, etc.) both domestically and internationally. In manufacturing environments, invisible fine foreign substances, dust generation, particle adhesion due to static electricity, and airflow disturbances can cause quality defects and reduced yield. Our company clarifies these contamination factors through visualization technology and provides consistent support from identifying the source of the problem to considering and confirming improvement measures. Do you have any of the following concerns? - Unable to identify the cause of foreign matter contamination - Want to check airflow and cleanliness in clean rooms - Want to understand dust generation from manufacturing equipment and transport systems - Want to reduce particle adhesion to films and substrates - Want to improve contamination that leads to reduced yield

In this seminar, we will focus on the challenges of sensitivity reduction and separation performance in GC/MS analysis, and introduce the latest technologies and practical know-how that can help solve these issues. This time, we will also have a presentation from LECO Japan, who will discuss the benefits and applications of high-resolution and high-separation analysis with real examples. Additionally, Restek will introduce column technologies effective for improving sensitivity in trace analysis. Restek: We will explain the inert performance of the RMX GC column, which is effective for improving sensitivity in trace analysis, and the column technology that suppresses adsorption loss in low concentration areas, along with actual measurement data. LECO: We will present the latest application examples of comprehensive detection of trace components using high-sensitivity GC-TOFMS and RMX columns, including environmental, aroma, and material analysis. This content is recommended for anyone involved in multi-component analysis using GC/MS, whether for target or non-target analysis, as well as those who are just starting out. We will provide clear explanations suitable for beginners in GC/MS, so please join us.
