Repositioning a Crankshaft in Control X In this blog post, we’ll explore how to reposition the nominal CAD model in Oqton’s Control X so that inspection information is reported based on the main assembly’s coordinate system rather than the local subassembly. We’ll use a crankshaft as our example. Introduction to Crankshafts Crankshafts are essential components in piston engines, converting reciprocating motion into rotational motion. Before diving into the repositioning process, it’s advisable to reposition the [...]

Miners face dangerous environments, extreme locations, and fluctuating demand. Efficiency and safety are top priorities, and 3D scanning technology may help achieve these goals. It redefines data acquisition for tunnels, shafts, stockpiles, and mills by offering speed and accuracy. 3D scanning is more efficient than traditional methods, capturing more data in less time with minimal disruption. It uses non-contact methods to gather data from risky or hard-to-reach areas, enhancing safety. 3D scan of an [...]
