Virtek’s Iris 3D software supports welded assembly operations

Virtek Vision has added several enhancements to its Iris 3D laser projection system, enabling job shops and OEMs to accelerate the manufacture of welded assemblies and components. It requires no prior training or experience to operate.

Using a standard CAD file, the system identifies the part geometry (mounting brackets, studs, bushings), determines each part’s exact position in 3D space, and projects high-visibility laser lines to direct workers in the placement of each part on the assembly, including drill locations, punch locations, fixture placement, and assembly positions. The software achieves accuracy of +/- 0.015 in. or +/- 0.38 mm for most applications.
