LARGE-VOLUME METROLOGY

Measure surfaces and features from a single position

APDIS directs an infrared laser beam through a high-precision mirror and determines distance by heterodyne interferometry. The result is repeatable 3D inspection, independent of the operator and directly on the part surface.

No targets or contactMeasures almost any surface without adaptors, coatings or reflectors.
Repeatable automationReusable inspection programmes reduce operator influence.
Industrial integrationCompatible with software interfaces including Metrolog, PolyWorks and SpatialAnalyzer.
From component to aircraftFrom automotive door inspection to large aerospace structures.
