COMPANY OVERVIEW

WHAT WE DOOur 3D laser projection systems project a glowing image of

parts, components, and/or location points directly onto your work

surface. This glowing image provides a highly accurate guiding

template. With an LPT laser projector you will see improvement in

many dynamics of your process.

WHERE WE FIT

LPT laser projectors are used extensively throughout

manufacturing industries to help streamline production and

reduce costs in various applications.

WHAT IS 3D LASER PROJECTION? 3D laser projection is accomplished by steering a single eye-safe

laser beam through a series of specific points in space. The laser

beam is directed at a pair of mirrors that are powered by a set of

galvanometers and computer-controlled servo motors capable of

extremely rapid movement. The effect produced is a highly visible

glowing green template.

Incorporated in 1996, LPT is the leading manufacturer of the fastest, most accurate, and longest range 3D laser projection and measurement systems.

The LPT100 is a patented 3D laser radar, scanning, and

measurement system. It can gather coordinate information about a

3D object in the form of a “point cloud” using reflectivity data from

each point scanned on the object.

Using the LPT100 data processing and control software, the

point cloud data is compared to a CAD model to determine those

sections of the object that are out of tolerance. The LPT100 can

then project a high-speed glowing image directly onto the surface

where discrepancies are located.

■ Highly sensitive time-of-flight laser radar

■ Digital galvanometer-based beam steering

■ Full support of reverse engineering tasks

■ Combination of HD survey and point-and-measure technologies

■ High precision 3D laser projection

LPT100LASER RADAR

BENEFITS

LASER RADAR

Laser Radar is fully integrated into the LPT100. Advanced signal and

data processing, edge detection, and image recognition algorithms

are used to obtain coordinates of isolated feature location points

such as corners, fasteners, tooling balls, and hole centers. The

LPT100 scans at 100,000 points/second and creates a 3D point

cloud of the measured surface. Utilizing TOPO* software creates

a surface visualization of errors in the form of a topographical

projection.

Lasergrammetry* is a high-speed, non-contact measurement

technology in which 3D coordinates of points on an object’s surface

are determined by projecting laser spots and utilizing advanced

scanning methods to measure each spot’s location.

A Lasergrammetry System (LGS) consists of two LPT15 laser

projectors, a computer running LPT RayTracer™ Software, and

an optional certified scale bar.

LGS works on a variety of object surface materials, from highly

reflective tooling balls to black carbon fiber composites.

Verification Mode: In this mode, the LGS system aligns with a set of an object’s known reference points and performs an automated

measurement by following a predetermined path based on the known 3D CAD model of the object. Available measurement methods

include:

■ Digitizing the object’s surface by a sequence of point-and-scan steps and obtaining a cloud of points (x, y, z).

■ Scanning the 3D object’s feature locations with high-definition raster. Applying image recognition, edge detection, and signal

processing to obtain x, y, z coordinates of isolated feature location points such as corners, fasteners, holes, etc.

Reverse Engineering Mode: This involves manual and semi-automatic measurement sequences. Results are obtained through utilization

of a certified scale bar, measurement points, and a measurement bundle computation. The same measurement methods are available

as in the verification mode.

RAYTRACER™ CAM

RayTracer CAM fully integrates into the RayTracer Software Suite.

It allows for model configuration which is immediately reflected in

the RayTracer database. From the CAD model, the projection

contours for the desired part can be easily selected by selecting

the edges or selecting the appropriate surface. Multiple layers can

be made to separate groups of projection contours. The targets

used for alignment can also be selected right from the CAD model.

Each target can also be named to distinguish targets from each

other. The program can then take the selected projection contours

and the selected targets and generate the necessary part and tool

files that can be saved to the desired RayTracer Database.

With the IPV Feature, the feature that needs to be verified can be

selected, the tolerance for that feature can be adjusted to meet

specifications, and the displacement surface where that tolerance

is referenced from can be specified. This data can then be exported

into the desired RayTracer Database.

■ Allows for the adjustment of tolerances to meet design

specifications

■ Easy selection of projection contours and targets straight

from the CAD model

■ Generates tool and part files that can be exported into

RayTracer Database

■ Allows for the selection of features and the displacement

surfaces for In-Process Verification

■ CAD-based 3D laser projection and in-process verification

■ Imports file types: IGES, STEP, RHINO 3D (3dm), AUTO CAD

(DWG, DXF), SOLIDWORKS (SLDPRT, SLDASM), PDF, VDA,

In-Process Verification (IPV) is a means by which users assure that

parts were positioned in the correct 3D position by confirming the

locations of certain features on the part. IPV is used to validate part

placement during the manufacturing process. In-Process Verification

works to detect if part placement is out-of-tolerance by scanning

features on the part. IPV then generates a report of results. This report

will let the operator know if the part has been accurately placed by

indicating a green “Pass” symbol. If the part is out of tolerance, as

designated by the red “Fail” symbol, the operator will know that there

is an error in the part placement and the operator will need to verify

the “non-conformance” error.

■ Executed by LPT’s targetless projector (LPT15)

■ Detects errors in part placement during assembly

■ Checks if the components are out-of-position/tolerance

■ Projectors verify location using feature detection

FUNCTIONS

■ Holes ■ Corners ■ Lines ■ Targets

The User will see the option “Perform In-Process Verification” to click on that will initiate the IPV process for that layer.

Once initiated, the IPV form will appear and show the identification information about the feature being scanned as well. The identifying information is the Item Name, Feature Name, Feature Type, the Feature Subtype (if there is one) and the Process Type. In this example, you can see the subtype of the corner is the Corner Type.

IPV may have up to 4 lasers scan a single feature for placement. After all the lasers have scanned and the tolerances have been calculated, you will see each lasers’ scan and tolerance results by clicking on the designated tab, as shown here.

When the feature is found to be out-of-tolerance, the actual distance can be shown to a user with permissions. At this point the user can choose to click any of the enabled buttons: Assist, Rescan, Override, Resize Scanbox, Move Scanbox, or Cancel. The user can then attempt to fix the tolerance issue, which will make the Accept button useable, and click Accept again or click Override to skip the feature.

IN-PROCESS VERIFICATION

Data for IPV is entered on the parts form in RayTracer Administrator. The administrator organizes this data and sets the allowable tolerances in RayTracer CAM, then it can be viewed here. These tolerances will dictate at which point an inspection will fail. Each IPV function belongs to a layer within the part tree so that each projection layer also contains the corresponding IPV data.

21

The User will see an option called “Perform IPV End Validation” to click on. When this menu item is chosen, IPV runs through all of the features then a form is expanded to the right and a grid is shown that lists the errors found during the processing. At that point, the user can click on the grid and attempt to fix the issues.

SOFTWARESoftware training classes are generally facilitated at the customer’s site during installation. Standard training courses are 3-5 days

covering all the software material as listed below.

RAYTRACER ADMINISTRATORTraining covers the use of LPT’s RayTracer Administrator software. This is used by the system administrator to organize files, create

parameter sets, and tailor each job for the specific application in use.

RAYTRACER OPERATORTraining covers the use of LPT’s RayTracer Operator software. This software is used by the operator on the shop floor to run the

projectors and execute the jobs. With a simple user interface and intuitive functionality RayTracer Operator is very user friendly even for

novice operators.

RAYTRACER CAMTraining covers the use of LPT’s RayTracer CAM software. This software is used to generate the part and tool files directly from the CAD

model. The Administrator of the system selects the target positions and the projection data to be used during the job. With Pro, the user

will also program any IPV data that pertains to the job.

CALIBRATIONLPT offers ‘Enhanced Linearization and Full Factory Calibration’ for all of our laser projection products.

LPT recommends Linearization and Calibration of all model laser projectors be performed on a yearly basis to maintain the advertised

accuracy and performance that is required for consistent, accurate, and safe laser projection.

REPAIRLPT offers complete repair services for all* of our laser projection products.

In-warranty repairs are done at no charge to the customer.

Out-of-warranty repairs require an initial Evaluation Fee. This fee is rolled into the final cost if the repairs exceed this amount.

*Some older LPT products (>10 years) may require parts that are no longer available. We strive to do our best to repair such products, if at all possible.

WHY LPT?

Thanks to a highly sophisticated mathematical engine, a unique

optical design, and an elaborate linearization procedure, all LPT

laser projectors achieve the trifecta of projecting fast at long

distances without sacrificing accuracy. No other manufacturer can

boast success in all three key aspects of laser projection.

Laser Projection Technologies always strives to improve our

products’ performance. Excessive flicker in complex projection

patterns had always been the bane of long-distance laser

projection systems. LPT’s Advanced Trajectory Control (ATC)

algorithm has resolved that. Circular and other curved shapes can

now be projected with minimal flicker at the farthest distance.

Time and time again, side-by-side demonstrations have shown

LPT projectors’ superiority over competitive products.

Since 1996, Laser Projection Technologies has specialized

in laser projection and measurement systems and their

accessories. It is precisely because of our strategic focus

that LPT was able to develop a broad variety of innovative

projector models. No other 3D laser projection system

manufacturer offers such cutting-edge technologies as

targetless alignment, lasergrammetry, and in-process

verification.

You can choose the LPT laser projector (or a combination

thereof) best suited to your specific production needs.

Remember, each succeeding LPT model does not displace

its predecessors – it builds upon them. An LPT12 has all

the functionalities of an LPT8 plus targetless alignment and

MBD measurement, an LPT15 has all the functionalities of an

LPT12 plus lasergrammetry capability and virtual targeting,

and so on. Nothing is lost.

OUR FOCUS

OPEN DOOR POLICYLaser Projection Technologies prides itself on openness to

customers. It is the only 3D laser projection systems manufacturer

that does not draw a veil of secrecy over its products and

technologies. In fact, LPT encourages customers to attend

maintenance and repair training classes. Many customers have

also chosen to build projector linearization/calibration stations to

our specifications enabling them to perform calibration and repairs

at their own facility.
