(NVision: Coppell, TX) -- Lighting Science uses the HandHeld laser scanner from NVision to ensure the dimensional integrity of the extremely complicated castings it purchases and uses in its roadway light emitting diode (LED) fixtures. In the past, it was difficult to inspect the castings because their geometry was too complex for gauges and blocks, and they would have taken a long time to program and inspect on a coordinate measuring machine (CMM). “With the NVision HandHeld laser scanner, in about two hours we can obtain the complete 3D geometry of a casting, and compare it to the design intent to determine not only if the part meets the design intent but also whether it is trending in the correct direction,” says Richard Williams, manager of product quality assurance for Lighting Science.
