The FabChecker PVS-14 is a state-of-the-art high resolution, scanning device specifically designed to evaluate two-dimensional sheet metal parts for accuracy and compliance with specifications. It scans small-format fabricated parts up to 8.25 x 11.25 inches.

The PVS-14 compares the scanned part with the original CAD drawing (in .DXF format). Dimensions not within the specified tolerances are displayed on the monitor as a different color from the remainder of the drawing, and data is generated for SPC compliance reports.

The FabChecker can be used to reverse engineer flat sheet metal parts; the system quickly and accurately generates a .DXF file (which can be exported to CAD) from a sample part.

• Reduces idle time of fabrication equipment while waiting for manual first part inspection
• Improves accuracy of first part inspection
• Decreases scrap
• Reduces requirements for rework
• Increases overall factory productivity
• Supports reverse engineering, thus saving hours of manual measurements in creating a CAD drawing

• Scans flat sheet metal parts for first part inspection, quality assurance, reverse engineering
• Accuracy to +/- .002"
• Scan parts to 1/8 inch thickness
• Fast, high resolution scans/processing (in less than three minutes)
• No exposed moving parts means increased stability in factory environment
• Uses a high resolution matrix CCD line sensor to accurately, quickly obtain image
• Scans multiple parts simultaneously
• Network enabled PC running Windows 2000, Windows NT or Windows XP
• Sealed compartment keeps internal components dust-free
