GKS Opens 3D Laser Scanning and Dimensional Inspection Offices in
Shanghai and Guangdong areas of China
DETROIT, MI - GKS Inspection Services, a global provider of dimensional
inspection, 3D laser scanning and terrestrial scanning services since
1981, announced that it has opened offices in two major markets within
China.
 "GKS China is an
integral part of our strategy of becoming the global leader in the 3D
laser scanning and dimensional inspection services industry," said
Armando Alonso, GKS Vice President. "GKS China broadens our scope of
coverage in Asia while also giving us entry into the fast-growing
Chinese manufacturing sector. We can now seamlessly provide metrology
and reverse engineering services to the numerous multinational companies
who have operations in China."
Team of Skilled
Engineers
GKS Inspection Services China consists of a team of experienced
engineers based in Kausang
(near Shanghai) and Guangdong
who
provide reverse engineering,
3D laser scanning, CAD modeling and dimensional inspection
services. The company is expanding rapidly and plans to hire several
more engineers in the next year.
GKS China has a wide
array of equipment including Laser Design CS-Series laser scanners
equipped with RPS-150 laser probes and the latest Surveyor Scan Control
software. Once the 3D scan data is collected, GKS China uses inspection
software to create a color error deviation map that clearly delineates
any variations between the as-built part and the design intent. Other
types of software enable GKS China to create a CAD model from the laser
scan point cloud, a process referred to as reverse engineering. The
company also has several CMMs running DMIS software in addition to 2D
CCD Measuring Systems.
The team of engineers in GKS China is
well versed in 3D laser scanning and CAD modeling along with traditional
measurement and inspection technologies and processes.
Laser Scanning
Technology
Laser scanning systems project laser light onto surfaces while cameras
continuously triangulate the changing distance and profile of the laser
as it sweeps along, enabling the object to be accurately replicated.
Non-contact laser scanners are able to quickly measure parts while
generating far greater numbers of data points than touch probing
systems. Laser scanning can replicate the complete geometry of a complex
part to a high level of accuracy, typically to within .001 inches.
Many global companies are interested in
taking advantage of the improved accuracy and speed provided by 3D laser
scanning but need to scan only a relatively small number of parts. Such
companies have difficulty justifying the cost of acquiring a laser
scanner and training operators in its use. GKS Inspection Services, a
division of Laser Design Inc, offers outsourced laser scanning services
on a project basis. Companies worldwide send parts to GKS who will then
create a CAD model or inspection report quickly and accurately,
therefore saving valuable time, money and resources. Alternately, GKS
can dispatch trained metrologists to the customer site using portable
measuring and scanning devices.
