For Child Parts
Vision Measurement Machine
by Micro Vu
Vision Measurement Machine by Micro Vu is the optimal machine for the measurement of precise small machined parts. From child parts of guns to child parts of aero-engines, vision measurement machines are the best solution, especially for measurement of Normal Dimensions and GD&Ts on Geometric Profiles
Their benefits are –
- Non-Contact Measurement
- High Speed of Measurement
- High Accuracy and precision, with accuracy as good as 2 Microns
Scanners
For Small Child parts that are non-geometric in nature, Scanners are the Optimal Solution. The Applications of these scanners include Scanning of Blades to compare against the CAD model, Scanning of Fins, Scanning of turrets etc. Anything which has a non-geometric and non-symmetric profile such as a curve cannon be measured by a conventional CM, hence the optimal solution for these types of parts is a Scanner. They can easily handle parts between the size range of 0-5m without photogrammetry and 5m – 20m using photogrammetry and laser tracking. There are various variants of Scanners which Geo Informatics uses depending upon the required accuracy and the size of the part. This Includes –
- Blue Light Scanning
- Laser Scanning
- Scanning via a Handheld Scanner

For Assemblies and Aerostructures
Scanners
Scanners are especially useful for Inspection and reverse engineering of non-geometric, free form, curvature-oriented profiles. Some of the applications which can be done include reverse engineering of Drones, Inspection of Submersible special purpose vehicles, etc.
For Applications where the part size can be anywhere between 5m to 80m, Geo Informatics uses Laser trackers and Photogrammetry solution to ensure accuracy even on such a large part size.
Laser Trackers
Laser trackers are good for Scanning, Inspection, and reverse engineering of large-sized aerostructures and Rockets They are also used in alignment and symmetricity check of sub-assemblies of aerostructures. Any Assembly bigger than the size of 10m up to 80m can be measured, positioned, scanned, and inspected using this equipment. This equipment comes with various
GapGun by Third Dimension
Gap and Flush measurement equipment is a Laser Guage with Propitiatory software that is used in various applications in the defense and aerospace industry such as –
- Gaps, Flushes, Steps, mismatches between the sheet metal panels of an aircraft
- Chamfers and radii on thrust chambers of Aero Engines
- Break Sharp Edge of a Blade Inspection
This gauge ensures that not only ensures accuracy in inspection but also reduces the amount of time and effort required in the same process
Other Product Based Solutions
Quality management Systems by HighQA
Quality Management Systems by HighQA in the defense Industry are used for various applications from ballooning of 2D Drawings, Inspection Plan generation to the collection of Inspection data from the Shop Floor. The Software using its Proprietary Optical Character Recognition Technology for automatic recognition of normal and GD&T dimensions on the drawing and then automatically generates the inspection plan for the same. This tool helps in the reduction of the time required for this process by 80%. This software can be integrated with any CMM for direct collection of Inspection data regardless of the brand the CMM belongs to. The Data can also be collected via the shopfloor terminals integrated with Bluetooth and WiFi Gauges.
