SL-Laser has repeatedly proven itself as the number one supplier laser projection supplier to Europe’s leading Aerospace manufacturers. This reputation is the result of unique application-specific advances that improve process quality and consistency and offer labor savings and the elimination of hard template production and storage costs.
3D Assembly - The process of aircraft assembly requires a huge number of brackets, fasteners and other small parts to be attached to the airframe. Traditionally, each part is printed out from the 3-D computer design file to a paper document that lists its spatial coordinates as well as a part description and other non-geometric information. Placement of each part typically requires tedious manual copying, coordinate measuring and marking using expensive templates, and the process remains time-consuming and error-prone.
With the ProDirector XS laser projection system, the technician first imports 3-D design data from any industry-common CAD program and the SL3D software scans the data file and performs a “smart recognition” of similar part geometries. Like objects are identified and assigned a common part name. The library, assembled in SL-Laser’s proprietary *.sl file format as well as a set of *.iges files, serves as a starting point for the creation of the final projection symbols.

Using SL3D, technicians quickly replace the complex part geometries with simplified symbols that show only the relevant surfaces and contours necessary to accurately place the part. The system can project symbols and fasteners, or assemblies can be precisely located to the contoured laser template and attached. Projected symbols are based on two distinct assembly strategies: For part location and marking, only the bottom surface geometry of the part drawing is projected. For immediate part attachment to the projected laser image, only the top surface of the part is needed for proper alignment. The system also can be used for quality-control checking after assembly. The small footprint of the ProDirector XS offers high portability and flexibility yet maintains the same precision and speed of larger SL-Laser ProDirector 4 projectors. Speed assembly, improve quality, and reduce costs with SL-Laser!
