Iris SPS combines innovative photogrammetry technology with laser projection for assembly processes. Iris SPS eliminates costly rework caused by errors during assembly and reduces the cost of design changes, so assemblers can always be working from the most current CAD files while using Iris. Engineering changes are passed to the shop floor in minutes, so assembly can continue without delays and additional expense. Iris SPS allows assemblers to build parts using virtual tooling that is not constrained by the physical limits of templates and measuring tools – locating objects in 3D space and locking onto CAD-specified assembly positions without the need for costly tooling or optical targets. The system is compact, easy to use, accurate and intuitive, for improved productivity, quality and safety on the shop floor.
All functions within Iris SPS operators will be localized, including the application interface, Operator Help Guide, Installation Guide and Laser Safety Guide. Initially localizations will include English, French and Italian, with additional support in Japanese, German, Chinese and Spanish to follow. Additional languages and specific workplace localization will also be supported.
Among the additional products being displayed at the show are:
Virtek will be in Hall 5A, booth #M77 at the JEC World 2016 Composites Show, March 8-10 in the Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Center.
