Creaform, a business unit of AMETEK and one of the leaders in portable 3D measurement solutions and engineering services, has announced the release of VXintegrity, the ultimate 3D scanning solution for surface damage assessment.
Designed specifically to respond to the challenges facing industrial assets owners and NDT service companies, this new software platform contains four different modules, intended to tackle any surface analyses, as well as simple metrology applications.
Making it possible to measure up to 80 times faster than manual measuring tools, the new VXintegrity software platform, combined with Creaform’s 3D scanners, represents the optimal solution to the current shortage of experienced technicians and aging and/or damaged infrastructures. Moreover, this user independent technology requires little training and few certifications, which means that technicians can be up and running faster than with other techniques.
This complete NDT solution also enables industrial assets owners to have full confidence in the evaluation results and make the best maintenance decisions with the best available data, as it can accurately measure thickness loss on corroded, industrial, complex geometry such as elbows, nozzles, pressure vessel heads, tank floors and valves. With this software platform, a complete analysis of all types of surfaces is now possible.
The VXintegrity software platform regroups four different application software modules dedicated and optimised for specific industries’ challenges:
“The metrology-grade 3D data generated through this software platform can precisely identify small thickness variation between inspections to compare damage progression through time, making it the best, and only, technique sensitive enough to do so on the market,” stated François Lachance, product manager at Creaform. “In addition, these four industry-optimised modules are sure to open up new business opportunities for NDT service providers.”
