GKS Opens 3D
Laser Scanning and Dimensional Inspection Service Bureau in Shinjuang
City, Taipei, Taiwan
 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 an
office in Taiwan, GKS Inspection Services Taiwan Pvt. LTD.
"GKS Taiwan is an
important 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 Taiwan broadens our scope of
coverage in Asia while also giving us entry into the fast-growing
Taiwanese manufacturing industry. We can now seamlessly provide
metrology and reverse engineering services to multinational companies
who have operations in Taiwan."
Team of Skilled
Engineers
GKS Inspection Services Taiwan Pvt. LTD consists of a team of
experienced engineers based in Taipei providing 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 Taiwan has a wide
array of equipment including a Laser Design CS-Series laser scanner with
an RPS-150 laser probe and the latest Surveyor Scan Control software.
Once scan data is collected, GKS Taiwan uses inspection software to
create a color error deviation map that clearly delineates any
variations between the as-built part and the design intent. The company
also has CMMs running DMIS software in addition to 2D CCD Measuring
Systems.
The Chief Engineer for GKS Taiwan is a metrology expert with over 18
years of industrial experience. His team of
engineers is well versed in 3D laser scanning along with
traditional measurement, 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.
