Ensuring Measurement is Precise
Virtek's laser projection systems make mechanical templates or time-consuming measurement procedures obsolete. The laser projected image is always precise because it is generated from the product’s CAD data.
Easy-to-Use
So intuitive that our user interface actually guides first-time users through the welded-assembly process.
3D Applications - Virtek IRIS 3D and Iris SPS
2D Applications - Virtek LTG
3D Applications
Virtek Iris 3D and Iris SPS with Vision Positioning System (VPS) or a Laser Projection System (LPS10)
Learn how a combination of laser projection technology with 3D integrated vision can locate a part in 3D space. Iris quickly locks onto the part’s CAD-specified assembly positions and guides the user through the welded assembly process by projecting a laser outline of each component part.

Case Study: MetalCrafters
By implementing Virtek’s LTG system, Metalcrafters of Wayne County, Inc. has transformed its fabrication processes, saving time, improving accuracy, and addressing bottlenecks caused by traditional layout methods. Beyond fabrication, the LTG system’s value as a QC tool ensures that every part meets exact standards, reinforcing Metalcrafters’ reputation for delivering high-quality metalwork.
"We are saving massive amounts of time and effort in our layout procedures. The key advantages of using Virtek Laser systems are accuracy, time and the use of the DFX from submittals allows you to be sure there are no issues between parts. It is as much a quality control tool as it is a fab too.”
Christian Claiborne, Sr. Vice President
Case Study: Komatsu
Komatsu was seeking to reduce errors in manufacturing, while at the same time increasing their throughput and efficiency to enable them to meet increased demand. They were using aluminum templates to guide workers in welding brackets, stand-offs and studs on large mining truck frames.
These templates were costly to manufacture, design and redesign. Additionally, they were cumbersome, presenting Health and Safety risks, and taking up a lot of space to store.
By implementing Virtek’s Iris Spatial Positioning System (SPS), Komatsu eliminated templates and significantly accelerated their assembly process, eliminating human errors and upholding quality because items are built exactly as designed.
Our Products
Virtek Iris™ 3D with the Vision Positioning System (VPS) significantly advances laser-guided assembly with innovative “Flash Align” functionality and superior laser-line visibility. Initial alignment is 20X faster and re-alignments are reduced from minutes to seconds – save time, increase workflow all while retaining quality and accuracy.

The Virtek® IRIS Truss system projects a laser template of the truss to be built onto the work surface, highlighting the position and shape of all truss joints and connector plates. This eliminates the need for measuring, squaring and stringing.
Industries: Component Manufacturing
Elevate quality control with the IRIS™ AI Camera—engineered for composite inspection and process monitoring. This smart camera inspects defects like FOD, and missing nails/nail embedment, and incorrect truss plates instantly. Capture high-definition images throughout the build process, generate real-time inspection reports, and integrate seamlessly with your existing laser projection systems for full traceability and production insight.
