Virtek LaserEdgeŽ - 2D and 3D Laser Templating and Positioning
We can improve your quality, reduce your costs, and boost your throughput by up to 100%.
The LaserEdge system has been achieving this for aerospace companies since
we pioneered the concept of laser templating for 3D composite ply alignment in
the early 90's. Today our systems set the industry standard for performance and reliability and
have been proven by manufacturers such as:
|
| • | Airbus |
| • | The Boeing Company |
| • | Bombardier |
| • | EADS |
| • | Embraer |
| • | Eurocopter |
|
| • | Fuji Heavy Industries |
| • | GKN Aerospace Group |
| • |
Aircelle - Safran Group |
| • | Lockheed Martin |
| • | Raytheon |
| • | Short Brothers |
|
Many industries beyond aerospace can benefit from that same Virtek technology
for a variety of 2D and 3D positioning and fixture-placement applications.
Quick return on investment
LaserEdge combines speed, accuracy and image clarity, to dramatically increase
manufacturing capacity, improve quality and lower costs. Your throughput will
increase by as much as 100%. And many of our customers tell us their return on
investment is less than one year.
| LaserEdge enables you to: |
| • | Increase throughput by eliminating time required to handle physical templates |
| • | Save costs associated with physical templates |
| • | Reduce costs associated with rejects |
| • | Eliminate time required for jigging, masking or decal positioning |
Versatile and easy to use
Virtek's intuitive software makes LaserEdge so easy to learn and use that the system
can be fully operational in a matter of hours. The system projects the exact
location and 3D outline of each ply directly onto the contoured tool surface.
