Aerospace – Dimensional & Quality Inspection Application for Space Launcher Tanks

An aerospace group sought to optimise the dimensional inspection time of its space launcher tanks. Traditional methods were time-consuming and unsatisfactory, slowing production and increasing the risk of errors. The goal was a quality and dimensional inspection application integrating faster, more precise measurement systems.

Client context

The client needed an application installed on a concentrator PC able to launch dimensional inspection programs, integrate advanced measurement technologies (laser profilometers, laser trackers) and improve the precision and repeatability of inspections.

Business challenges

• Reduce the dimensional inspection time of large aerospace components
• Integrate advanced laser metrology into a single inspection application
• Improve precision, repeatability and error reduction
• Preserve internal technical knowledge through training

The T&S solution
