Project: Reverse Engineering/Laser Scanning
Industry: Mobile Industrial Cleaning Equipment Manufacturer
Contact Title: R&D Design Engineer
Location: Illinois
In January 2021, Made to Measure had the pleasure of assisting the R & D Design Engineer Elgin Sweeper of a leading mobile industrial cleaning equipment manufacturer with reverse engineering some previously outsourced parts to correct documentation. Our Metrologist, Erik Gustafson, spent several days at their facility laser scanning dozens of components with his Creaform HandySCAN Black Laser Scanner. From the captured laser scan point cloud, STL files were created, delivered to the customer, and then used to develop CAD models. Learn more about our on-site laser scanning services here.
Project: Dimensional Inspection/Automated Vacuum & Pull Test
Industry: Automotive
Contact Title: Quality Engineer
Location: Michigan
A customer had an unfortunate problem with the production of their fuel valves for off-highway vehicles. The team at Made to Measure found them a solution! The Made to Measure team was able to come up with a design for an automated vacuum and pull test for a multitude of these types of parts, all ranging in different styles, and all with significant problems. Once the vacuum and pull test design was set-up and ready for the inspection, we measured 8,000 fuel valves total! Learn more about our part sorting services here.
