Virtek's virtual laser templates and digital data connects workflow efficiencies and improved productivity, empowering operators right on the shop floor.

#2 Compatibility with Industry 4.0

Virtek embraces Industry 4.0 with advanced solutions connecting machines, processes, and people. Through automation, data exchange, virtual laser templating, and software, manufacturers achieve smart and connected factories, enhancing productivity and competitiveness.

#3 Laser-Guided Assistance

Virtek's laser-guided assembly solutions revolutionizes manufacturing. High-precision laser projections enable accurate and efficient task execution, reducing the skills gap. Digital laser templates guide operators, eliminating manual measurements and errors, improving quality, and speeding up production.

#4 Streamlined Processes

Our unique offering empowers operators to work directly at the workpiece, improving efficiency and enabling rapid decision-making right on the shop floor.

 

Iris 3D offers easy “Pick-and-Project” (PnP) functionality of specific components in the CAD data for simpler assemblies and one-off projects. It also supports extensive pre-designed workflows for complex or repetitive projects to visualize the end product, easy setup of fixtures before you begin your weldment.

In a Q&A session, Virtek Vision’s CEO, Dietmar Wennemer reveals how the company’s laser projection solutions helps rapidly improve aerospace part production.

Processes such as cutting, placement and lay-up on mould tooling can add substantial time to the production of carbon composite parts in aerospace applications, particularly when dealing with large structures such as wings.

Virtek’s Iris software platform along with the Vision Positioning System (VPS) enables operators to construct composite parts without the use of bulky physical templates that have to be manually lifted on and off the mould while ply material is fixed in place. The system projects a laser outline of the part or material to easily guide the operator.
