Maintenance and repair

Maintenance refers to the activities and procedures undertaken to preserve, repair, and improve equipment, infrastructure, and systems to maintain their optimal functioning. Its aim is to ensure the availability, reliability, and performance of equipment throughout its lifecycle.

The ultimate goal of maintenance is to ensure asset availability, optimize their lifespan, reduce operating costs, improve safety, and enhance performance. By implementing a suitable maintenance strategy, companies can maximize operational efficiency, minimize unplanned downtime, and extend the lifespan of their equipment.

At the core of these maintenance and repair processes, Kreon measuring arms with 3D scanners are essential in many aspects:

Dimensional inspection and verification

Kreon measuring arms allow for precise measurement and verification of the dimensions of parts and equipment. This ensures that spare parts or repaired components match the required specifications and can be safely used.

Defect and deformation analysis

Kreon measuring arms can detect defects, deformations, or damages on parts and equipment. They can capture detailed data on shape and geometry, facilitating problem analysis and identification of underlying causes.

Comparison with digital assemblies

Kreon 3D scanners can compare measured data with reference digital models (CAD models), allowing for the verification of repaired assemblies' compliance. This way, fine adjustments and complex assemblies are faithfully reproduced.

Wear and durability assessment

Kreon measuring arms and 3D scanners can be used to evaluate wear on critical parts and surfaces. They can detect signs of excessive wear, damage, or fatigue, enabling the planning of preventive maintenance activities and preventing unexpected failures.

Documentation and tracking

Data collected by Kreon measuring arms and 3D scanners can be used to create accurate documentation of equipment, including inspection reports, maintenance plans, and part histories. This facilitates performance tracking, repair traceability, and optimization of maintenance procedures.

Why use a Kreon measuring arm with 3D scanner for industrial maintenance?

Measurement precision:
‍The Kreon measuring arm with 3D scanner allows for capturing data with high precision. It can measure the dimensions, shapes, and complex geometries of equipment and parts with high accuracy.
Speed and efficiency:
‍The Kreon 3D scanner combined with a measuring arm enables fast and efficient measurements. It can capture a large amount of data in a single scan, reducing the time required for measurements compared to traditional methods.
Adaptability to different surfaces:
‍The Kreon measuring arm with 3D scanner can adapt to various surfaces and textures, whether they are smooth, rough, reflective, or transparent. This allows for measuring a wide range of industrial parts and equipment without compromising the accuracy or quality of the collected data.
Defect and problem detection:
‍The Kreon 3D scanner can detect defects, damages, and potential issues on equipment and parts. It enables visual analysis of measurement results and identification of areas deviating from specifications. This facilitates early detection of problems and implementation of corrective actions to avoid failures and unplanned production stops.
Portability:
‍A key advantage of the Kreon measuring arm with 3D scanner for industrial maintenance is its portability. It is designed to be easily transportable and usable in different environments, whether it's on the production site, in the field, or in a maintenance workshop. Its lightweight and ergonomic design allows technicians to easily move it to the equipment to be inspected without requiring complex disassembly or recalibration.
Complementarity:
‍A Kreon scanner used on an arm can also probe points using the integrated probe under the scanner. On one hand, the overall shape inspection is mastered through the scanner, while on the other hand, the inspection of geometric areas with smaller tolerances is ensured by the probe. This combination allows for a comprehensive and accurate assessment of the part and enables quick decision-making to ensure compliance with specifications.
