Shorter throughput times in composite manufacturing

Composite manufacturing centers that process different kinds of layup jobs need laser projection systems that quickly and reliably adapt to tool changes. This is exactly where laser projection systems from LAP come in. At JEC World, LAP will show how automatic calibration processes significantly reduce processing times when many different tools need to be handled in manufacturing cells.

The highlights at a glance

• Automatic calibration with DTEC-PRO
  The DTEC-PRO camera system achieves automatic calibration within seconds. Administrators no longer need to execute manual basic calibration on each individual tool. This offers the crucial advantage of processing more tools in less time, which significantly shortens lead times.
   
• Immediate adjustment of the laser projection with CAD-PRO
  The CAD-PRO laser projector immediately adjusts the laser projection to the current tool position regardless of whether the tool or projector are moved. The system’s modularity is ideal for supporting flexible manufacturing concepts. Thanks to a number of mounting options, the laser system can be configured to best fit customer-specific needs.
   
• User-friendly workflow control with PRO-SOFT
  Opening and assigning calibration files, executing calibration, checking position, and projecting – PRO-SOFT’s advanced software features offer control of the entire workflow with just a few clicks of the mouse.

LAP demonstrates how easily and user-friendly operators can load and run calibration files via QR code. As soon as a workpiece is placed in the detection range of the DTEC-PRO camera system, the camera scans the QR code linked to files such as the associated order documentation. Upon the user’s confirmation, the calibration file assigned to the tool is then opened and the calibration automatically started. This saves the user time by eliminating the need to manually open the file on the computer. And because the file is unambiguously assigned to the project, it also increases process reliability.

Keynote talks at booth 6S20: digital cutting solution meets laser projection

The company GUNNAR invites you to a keynote talk at the GUNNAR & Scheurer Swiss partner booth in hall 6/stand 6S20 on Wednesday, March 4 from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Thomas Schwarz, Marketing Director at GUNNAR advanced cutting solutions, and Martin Dronsek, Head of Business Unit Industry Products at LAP, will discuss how laser-guided cut part offloading can help small companies accelerate manual stacking and packaging after the digital cutting process.
