Automated defect and feature metrology system
enables new levels of quality and reduced rework for aerospace
components further enabling aviation safety standards
Onto Innovation Inc. (NYSE: ONTO) and its Tucson subsidiary 4D
Technology today announced they’ve been named winner of FANUC
America’s prestigious 2024 Innovative System of the Year award for
the 4Di InSpec automated metrology system (AMS). The system enables
automated surface defect and feature metrology for aviation,
aerospace and other applications in the industrial manufacturing
market. The patented, vibration-immune technology enables the
unique capability of using non-contact, three-dimensional optical
metrology on the production floor, providing new levels of defect
inspection with micrometer-level resolution. In partnership with
OptiPro Systems, the 4Di InSpec AMS systems were delivered in the
second half of 2023 to several leading aerospace engine
manufacturers.

“We are honored to be recognized as an innovator by a robotic
industry leader like FANUC America,” said Erik Novak, vice
president and general manager of Onto Innovation subsidiary 4D
Technology. “The combination of FANUC robotics with 4Di non-contact
sensor technologies provides a unique platform for improving
throughput, quality and delivery times in industrial manufacturing.
We look forward to the continued expansion of our automation
metrology portfolio to help our customers solve some of the more
complex industrial manufacturing challenges in the industry.”
The aviation industry is focused on safety amid the ongoing
labor shortage post-pandemic, driving a renewed emphasis for an
increase in quality control and improved labor utilization.
Currently, visual inspection of engines is the standard quality
control practice, including repro-rubber and shadowgraph off-line
techniques, which are time-consuming and subjective. The industry
can utilize the 4Di InSpec automated metrology solution to achieve
significantly higher sampling rates and improved quality control
while providing fast, accurate and reproducible results. The
automated system is capable of measuring 400 typical engine
call-out measurements in under 30 minutes, which can take weeks
using traditional methods, enabling manufacturers to reallocate
labor for other critical tasks. The technology has demonstrated the
ability to reduce scrap and rework by up to 40% on engine
components.
The 4Di InSpec AMS can be configured for multiple applications,
including large, rotary applications, small freeform components
such as turbine blades and multi-sensor applications. Bob
Wasilesky, senior director of sales and marketing for Onto
Innovation subsidiary 4D Technology, said, “Multi-sensor, automated
systems are the next step to delivering increased value to our
customers, where one robot, with dual sensors, can measure surface
roughness, surface features and defect inspection all in one
system, greatly increasing efficiencies.”
