WARSAW,
Ind., May 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Level 3 Inspection LLC (L3I) of
Florida and Indiana, an ISO 9001, AS9100 and AAAM 44.9:OI/OS certified
process engineering and dimensional inspection firm, has announced that
the Smart Inspection Station™ (SiS™) will be unveiled at the OrthoTec
exposition in Winona Lake, Indiana, May 24, 2011.
Long known for its professional metrology services and advanced
dimensional inspection reports on quick turnaround, L3I has just
expanded with a turnkey solutions division, Smart Inspection Systems
LLC, to custom-configure and implement modern inspection systems
directly in orthopaedic and other precision manufacturers' facilities,
so manufacturers can obtain needed inspection results in minutes.
"We've
been listening intently to what our clients want in order to adopt this
21st-century measurement and inspection technology," said L3I CEO Bill
Greene. "The SiS™ is the culmination of our 11 years' experience with
these technologies. With its configuration options, ease, speed and
automation, it's an ideal platform for shop floor precision parts
inspection."
The SiS™ is an easy-to-use White Light Scanning (WLS) and Computer Aided
Inspection (CAI) system that orthopaedic and other precision
manufacturers can install practically anywhere in their operations. It
uses fringe-light patterns to digitize the surfaces of orthopaedic
implants and other precision manufactured parts, automatically
generating full PDF inspection reports with minimal operator input and
personnel training.
WLS provides a thorough understanding of geometric form, with millions
of data points across the surface. "Studies have proved that [L3I's]
system and method of inspection for implants is as accurate or better
than our CMM's. Since the white light scanning processes have the
required accuracy and can cover so much more of the feature surface,
their data is a more accurate representation of ... true size and form."
- Metrology Director, Orthopaedic OEM
Measurement Systems Evaluations (MSE) and Gauge Repeatability and
Reproducibility (GR&R) studies have consistently demonstrated
measurement accuracies of 0.000040". These reports are available upon
request.
Although the SiS™ is fully transportable and able to withstand the
rigors of shop floor deployment, L3I will shuttle participants between
the OrthoTec expo and its central Warsaw configuration laboratory for
scheduled 15-minute demonstrations on May 24th and 25th. Transportation
and refreshments will be provided.
