Metris Releases Laser Radar Driver 5.1

By DE Editors

Metris (Brussels,  Belgium) released Laser Radar Driver 5.1 software to set new precision standards for automated, noncontact inspection of holes in large measuring volumes. Depending on hole diameter, Metris allows Laser Radar customers to reach accuracy and repeatability levels up to 30 times higher than before.

Laser Radar’s laser technology supports both automatic freeform surface measurement and feature detection/inspection without SMR or other targeting tools, achieving higher inspection productivity.

Correct positioning of features, such as riveting holes, is crucial in aircraft component assembly. With Laser Radar Driver 5.1, Metris optimized the capability of the system to inspect hole feature position and diameter in large-scale applications.

To increase operation flexibility, Laser Radar features manual and automatic modes for the inspection of hole features. In automatic mode, the operator selects the holes to be inspected on CAD, and the Laser Radar automatically moves from one hole to another to measure the holes at high speed.

The software algorithm optimization increases the accuracy and speed of hole feature measurement by implementing an optimized data collection strategy, more accurate filtering technology and better feature fitting.
