3D Scanning

Our service is optimised for our clients with a strong focus on reliability & ease of maintenance

At GearInspec, we utilise 3D scanning technology to create highly accurate digital images of complex gear systems. This unique concept captures every nuance of the gearing, including wear patterns, misalignments, and even minor defects that traditional inspection methods may overlook.

Our approach

During this process, we create a 3D mesh of the mine site SAG mill gears and pinion teeth using the Handiscan Black Elite, a metrology-grade 3D scanner. We compare the scanned mesh with a Solidworks CAD model of the analysed component.

Once the initial 3D scan has been completed, subsequent scans are compared with the original benchmark for irregularities.

At the conclusion of the scan, our clients are provided with a comprehensive report outlining any issues with their equipment. Furthermore, the report details recommendations on managing the equipment best to avoid disruptions to service.
