THE DREAM OF THE PERSONAL ASSISTANT. OUR PHILOSOPHY. The history of industry is a story of constant searching for improvements in production. Production had to be ever faster, ever more cost effective and of ever-improving quality. Wherever possible, people had to be replaced by machines. To this day, the concept of a robot as an employee - supposedly without the human weaknesses - remains the symbol of this era of industrialisation and automation. Nowadays, hardly anybody still dreams of the utopia of artificial employees. However, its role has been taken over by the computer for complex...

THE BRIDGE BETWEEN THE DIMENSIONS. THE PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION. A LEVEL OF SIMPLICITY AND ACCURACY - ONLY OFFERED BY EXTEND3D. In terms of hardware, Werklicht ® by EXTEND3D consists of “eyes” in the form of one or two cameras, and an industrial laser or an industrial HD projector for projection. But what really brings Werklicht® to life and helps digital 3D planning data connect with actual reality is its smart software algorithm. First, existing CAD data from all standard data formats is input into the system. The software then compares the saved plans with the real workpiece, either with...

1. Data preparation for the digital jig. Forget manufacturing time-consuming and expensive jigs for machining workpieces in future. The software provided enables Werklicht ® and the object being machined to be set up in less than 10 minutes, meaning that your employees in production or assembly can start work. BENEFITS: • Creation of the digital jig in just a few mouse clicks. • Intuitive and easy operation. • Use of all common CAD data formats. • Simple manual and automatic data processing. ADVANTAGES: • Reduction in preparation time compared to conventional templates. • Savings in...

2. Application as a digital jig.
 When Werklicht ® is ready for use the laser projects positioning points, lines or areas for exact spot, seam and stud welding, drilling and bonding, thereby ensuring precise execution and repetition accuracy. Furthermore, Werklicht ® enables CAD/DMU data to be simply superimposed on to the workpiece, so making connections visible.
 
 
 BENEFITS:
 • ery high precision (up to 0.1 mm per metre spacing).
 V • ynamic referencing allows the Werklicht ® or workpiece D position to be changed freely. 
 • he system is portable and ready for use within a few T...

1. Integrated quality assurance. Use Werklicht ® as your key quality assurance tool. The intuitive and direct projection of component data avoids errors before they arise, so reducing remachining and waste. Your employees will work far more efficiently and productively thanks to this “integrated” quality assurance. When further quality assurance is required, the condition of the part can be compared with the digital plan data and any deviations determined using a laser or video scan. BENEFITS: • High-contrast, sharp laser line. • References in a highly mobile and dynamic way. • High level...

Communication of technical details. Image: RTT AG 1. Presentation and training. When training workshop and maintenance staff, complex systems previously had to be presented on either sectioned models or in two-dimensional presentations. In contrast, Werklicht ® projects the “inner workings” of motors, for example, on the interface and enables construction methods and functional links to be recognised on the real 3D object. In addition to supplementary still images, entire video sequences can also be used to illustrate dynamic processes. WERKLICHT® FOR 3D VISUALISATION. With Werklicht®, 3D...

Projection of tapes and designs on a clay model. 3. Werklicht® in product design.
 
 Clay model production. Image: Kolb Technology GmbH Despite all the capabilities of computer-aided simulation, clay models are still used in product design to this day. And with good reason: They represent the creative process in its most direct and intuitive form. Werklicht ® supports designers and modellers by projecting design lines, edges or seams, for example. This enables different design conditions to be stored and replicated. Later in the process, different interface structures, design details or...
