Profile inspection of honeycomb composite surface

[[Ma...]]

We are looking for a system that can inspect surface profile of honeycomb surfaces. Currently looking into a T Scan Hawk 2 operating the Zeiss Inspect software. The challenge we currently have is 2 fold. 1 our MBD is a solid surface and does not show the honeycomb so touch probe automated scanning is difficult from piece to piece. The second challenge is scanning is bringing in too much data that doesnt apply to the surface profile. 

Can Zeiss inspect apply appropriate filters to remove the 'hairs' that can be a result of the machining process? Can the scan depth be adjust to just capture the specified profile surface (think of a chicken wire)?

 

T Scan Hawk 2 is being looked at for its size capabilities over conventional bridge CMMs.

Hello Marco,

i dont really know the T-Hawk, but i highly doubt that it can handle a 0,01 Profile Tolerance with a demanding part.

Better get in touch with your Zeiss regional contact. They can give you all the info you need and or even test the application beforehand.
