Collins Aerospace needed a metrology solution that could support adaptive machining processes by providing accurate, real-time feedback. The solution had to be fully automated, reliable in varying environments, and capable of high-volume scanning with traceable accuracy.
After evaluating multiple 3D scanning technologies, Collins selected the PolyScan XM — featuring a carbon fiber structure for thermal stability. Integrated into a robotic cell, the scanner performed full surround scans in under 30 seconds. Traceable ball bar artifacts enabled continuous health checks to ensure consistent results.
“Fast, 3D volumetric scans that are NIST-traceable to ±25 microns have made Polyrix scanning solutions the only choice for our aerospace automation initiatives.
With 35,000 scans of rock-solid precision, Polyrix is driving a paradigm shift in metrology performance, enabling our customers to enhance their products with accuracy and confidence.”
