LaserEdge® and Plataine Partnership

Real-Time Visibility & Improved Productivity

Virtek announces a groundbreaking partnership that will enable aerospace manufacturers to integrate their Laser Projection Systems with Industrial IoT Manufacturing Optimization Solutions

3D Vision Positioning System (VPS)

Accurately project a virtual laser template onto complex 3D molds and parts to guide operators through the process of part fabrication.

BEST SUITED FOR:

• COMPOSITE PLY LAYUP

• PAINT MASKING

• MACHINE FIXTURE PLACEMENT

* POSITIONING OF STRUTS, SPACERS ANDREINFORCEMENTS
• FIXTURED WELDED ASSEMBLY
• MODULAR FIXTURING LAYOUT AND SETUP
• SUB-ASSEMBLY HOLE LOCATION
• VISUAL INSPECTION OF AUTOMATEDMANUFACTURING PROCESSES
• OPERATOR ASSEMBLY GUIDE PATHS

Spatial Positioning System (SPS)

Combines laser projection technology with 3D vision technology to locate a part in 3D space then quickly locks onto its CAD-specified assembly position.

BEST SUITED FOR:

• AEROSPACE BONDED & RIVETED FASTENER

• INSTALLATION
• WELDED STUD & BRACKET PLACEMENT
• ROLLING STOCK COMPONENT ASSEMBLY
• HEAVY EQUIPMENT FABRICATION
• SKIDDED ASSEMBLY LAYOUT AND FABRICATION
• AEROSPACE MRO, UPGRADES, & RETROFITS
• FINAL ASSEMBLY – HOLE LOCATION

Users of Virtek’s LaserEdge® ply layup system can dramatically improve productivity by tracking work in process, assets and materials in real-time by combining Plataine’s Total Production Optimization (TPO) software.
