Virtek IRIS 3D for Composites
Project 3D Laser Templates Exponentially Faster
Innovative vision technology with laser projection all in one system
Accurately projects a 3D virtual laser template onto molds and parts to guide operators through the process of part fabrication whether it be ply layup, paint masking, final assembly or component location.
VIRTEK IRIS 3D
With Virtek Iris 3D, the laser projected image is always precise, because it is generated from the product’s CAD data. The precise virtual template is projected onto molds and parts for carbon and composite layup, assembly, paint-masking, and component placement.
Features & Benefits
Faster setup and realignments mean significant time savings and increased workflow productivity.
Open the work order, and the system will begin projecting. Start working right away.
Reduces ownership cost, maintenance time with field-replaceable components.
Part position is taken directly from CAD data and laser projected onto the workpiece for exact as-designed placement.
Virtek Lasers provides operators with a brighter, safer laser delivering superior visibility even in the brightest work environments.
Our global service organization helps ensure that your Virtek systems are always optimized for maximum performance.
We offer Virtek mobile workstations, motorized mounts, wireless carts, and more.
Case Study: Embraer
Paint-Masking Application
The Virtek Iris 3D system significantly advances laser-guided assembly with new integrated vision technology, innovative FlashAlign functionality, and superior laser-line visibility. Setup is 20 times faster, and realignments are reduced from minutes to seconds—saving time and increasing workflow productivity while retaining quality and accuracy.
Taking a manual, complex and lengthy process and making it simple and cost-effective with an ROI in less than 6 months.
“The time savings have been remarkable, our technicians in the paint booth can now layout an aircraft in four hours with two technicians when it used to take 2-3 shifts when working with Mylar templates. Also, the amount of rework has almost been eliminated."
