Photogrammetry Inspection System

AICON's Digital Photogrammetry Analysis (DPA) systems are portable 3D measuring machines that use a high-resolution digital camera for data collection. Measurement part can be of any size. It is photographed from a number of directions. These photographic images are processed either simultaneously with data collection (online processing) or after data collection (offline processing) with AICON's powerful software. This software runs on a standard notebook. The software automatically calculates the 3D coordinates of all targeted points. The calculation is based on the principle of spatial image triangulation (photogrammetry) and is processed completely automatic. Pre-calibration of the camera is not necessary because the software employs an integrated simultaneous calibration procedure.

The following are typical applications for the DPA Inspect systems:

• Inspection of sheet metal parts and tolerance analysis
• Part Inspection of Automotive, Aerospace, Casting, Engineering, Powermill, etc.
• Fixture inspection (Weld fixture inspections) & Fixture Adjustment
• CAD Comparisons of manufactured parts
• Roundness inspection, e.g. tunnels or tanks
• Gauge Control

• Deformation analysis
• Deformation analysis of sheet metal and plastic parts, e.g. in environmental chambers or strain tests
• Motion analysis e.g. of components under load
• Online Monitoring,
• Measurement of large fabricated structures like fuselage, canopy, etc.
