Faro and TeZet combine tube
measurement expertise
Faro, Germany, has entered into a new
European technology and marketing
agreement with TeZet, a Swiss-based tube
measurement software specialist.
According to the agreement, TeZet’s
specialised tube software solution
TeZetCAD, will be integrated into the leading
portable devices for 3D measurement –
Faro ScanArm and FaroArm.
This new joint solution will be available to
customers in all major industries for the
measurement and correction of tubes of
all sizes and forms, including complex
geometries of freeform bent tubes. At
present, TeZet claims to be the only
software globally that can measure and
correct freeform bent tubes.
“The agreement with TeZet is very important
to us because it allows us to expand our
reach into the emerging tube measurement
market,” said Mr David Homewood, Faro’s
area vice president of sales for the UK,
France and Distribution.
The agreement enables the measurement
of freeform bent tubes with the Faro Laser
ScanArm so that tube benders can actually
bend tubes by extracting them graphically
from CAD drawings. Until now, the only
method that allowed measurement of the
reproducibility and quality control for freeform
bent tubes was traditional laser scanning.
Users needed to collect points and convert
the point cloud into polygons or nurbs
to generate a tube design on the screen
without having any tube data, which is a
cumbersome and time consuming process.
TeZet offers a software module for Faro
ScanArms that allows automatic calculation
of tube data during the scanning procedure.
The user no longer needs to use the
complex and lengthy method of converting
millions of points in order to extract the tube
coordinate and bending data necessary for
masterpiece inspection and comparison
within the production procedure.
