Profilemaster SPS offers new surface fault detection algorithms and resolution

single contours or as a 3D model (partial or full view of the profile). The new setup design improves the performance of the optical path of the cameras, optics and lasers by a factor of eight, which eliminates the limitation of camera exposure times. The new high-speed setup enables the Profilemaster ®

DUE to the growing demand for surface inspection, Zumbach Electronics has developed the Profilemaster ® SPS product family with high-speed versions. The latest generation of high-speed cameras acquires full product contours at a rate of 2000Hz. This allows the machine to achieve six times more contours within a certain length, which enables classification of the defects instead of only detection. Increased resolution enables the user to analyse the surface defects and visualise them in better visualisation maps. The maps are created from multiple “unfolded” contour images. Depending on the user’s preferences, the surface faults are also shown as MANY customers of SL Laser GmbH have taken advantage of the benefits of laser projection over the years. Supported by industry-specific software, it enhances production precision and reduces error margins. Specifically designed to address the challenges in composite processing, SL Laser developed the SL3D software. This provides the industry with a solution that focuses on accelerating processes and improving quality. With a user friendly design it aims to exceed the expectations of modern composites manufacturers. SL Laser GmbH’s high precision laser projectors enable the exact projection of complete drawings, outlines or parts of drawings onto a surface. This gives employees perfect control over the manufacturing process, ensuring the highest accuracy and efficiency. Due to the variability in production processes and materials, each laser system, centred around the ProDirector 7, is individually tailored to the specific requirements of the client. This results in customised

for seamless integration into existing production workflows. Other features include the automatic selection of the ideal projector in a multi-head system, point reduction options, and projection optimisation. The software also boasts advanced security features such as password protected user levels and the ability for user verification via fingerprint scan or barcode scanner. SL Laser GmbH offers practical products that have been trusted for many years and a high level of service and support. With specially trained and experienced engineers in Germany, France and the US, the company ensures quick and competent onboarding followed by reliable support. This is complemented by appropriate technical equipment. The SLNET™ diagnostic system allows support personnel to remotely connect to customers’ PCs to diagnose software and hardware issues and provide remote updates.

solutions for various production needs. The SL3D software offers a variety of features that enhance the efficiency and quality of composite processing. A key feature is the automatic calibration system, which ensures the accuracy of the lay-up process and significantly reduces calibration time. Additionally, the electronic plybook function provides comprehensive quality control documentation. The SL3D software supports the import of files from common CAD systems such as CATIA, FiberSIM, and AutoCAD. This flexibility allows
