Brief introduction to 3D laser projection
in production and assembly
The projection of edges, drill holes or outlines by laser projectors is already the daily routine in many industrial and craft enterprises. Instead of time-consuming preparation of expensive templates, the ProDirector 6 projects all necessary templates onto the workpiece or even the work table. At the touch of a button, the device switches to the next work step or layer. So the work can continue quickly, precisely and safely. Reductions in working time of 25% or more are the norm.
However, added to this is the unparalleled precision of the systems. This precision not only improves the quality of the products but also reduces the margin of error in the company. Measuring and transferring plans to workpieces is as time-consuming as error-prone – and can be eliminated. To top it off, many quality management tasks can be accomplished just as easily. The colleague simply has the projection repeated step by step and checks the work done.

Software-controlled projection
of laser beams
In most cases, the necessary data for the laser projector is simply converted by software from the CAD program. Then it is transferred directly to the projector. The virtually projected templates from the laser projector are as accurate as they are safe for the eyes. The prerequisite for this is the precise calibration of the work surface and the appropriate placement of the projector. With reference points to be controlled, even a movable work table can be quickly calibrated. After that, the workpiece can also be positioned perfectly and automatically.
For very large systems or in aircraft construction, a network of laser projectors is also often used, all of which are connected together. Together with our partners, our laser projectors can also be integrated into a direct installation with the control elements of the systems on request. Doing so the machine and projector can be operated from one and the same console. At SL Laser we have developed special software for different industries, products and applications, which is prepared for most applications. This concerns both the conversion of CAD data and the creation and use of libraries for recurring tasks or components.

Installation and training
for 3D projection
Certainly, this next level of 3D projection in assembly and production requires much more knowledge and skill in setting up, adjusting and actually operating the applications. However, SL Laser has its own training program available, which has been optimized over the years by working directly with customers. Training can be conducted either on-site or online. Experienced trainers master the subject matter in such a way that the training contents are adapted to the respective challenges of the customer. The learning of superfluous theory or content far removed from reference is avoided and rather the application to the actual task is trained.
SL Laser has always concentrated on the unconditional fit into the existing workflows and processes in the development of the laser projectors. The same path is followed in developing the user software and all the training courses for the customer. This philosophy allowed us to succeed in initiating worldwide sales of our products since the 1990s. Plus we are proud that we’ve always been able to record a high level of customer satisfaction.
