QuellTech develops and manufactures 3D image processing systems for various industrial applications. Our focus is on inline applications using 3D laser line triangulation. Our goal is to offer technologically advanced solutions that sustainably improve quality and productivity in production processes. Our image processing solutions can be implemented remotely worldwide, and thanks to a modular software and hardware concept, projects can be realized promptly.

We have many years of experience in the industrial sectors: Metal production and processing, mechanical and plant engineering, welding plant automation, communication technology, electronics, energy technology, automotive and aerospace.

Challenges in Production and Quality Assurance

Are manual measurement methods too costly and time-consuming for your quality assurance needs?

Do your customers demand 100% control and documentation of your sample measurements?

Do you want to make more accurate predictions for machine maintenance intervals and plan ahead?

Is identifying defective products at an early stage of production crucial for you?

What we do

Applications

We use our 3D laser measurement solutions in a variety of applications. The most common measurement applications are:

Measurement of Width, Length, Height, Area, Volume:

The 3 D Laser Measurement of any object creates a 3-dimensional representation of the visible surfaces, called point cloud. The software can calculate from these all-dimensional properties, like width, height, length, angle, inclination, flatness, area and volume.

Thickness Measurement:

Measurement of strips, blocks, films, sheets, and layers made from different materials like steel (hot or cold); aluminum, plastic, copper, rubber, silicon. Measurement of surface defects, flatness, and parallelism.

Measurement of Blocks, Slabs, and Billets from Steel or Aluminum:

Concavity, convexity, twist, horizontal and vertical curvature, from cold to hot.

Tubes and Round Material from Steel, Aluminum, Plastic:

Measurement of diameter, roundness, eccentricity, deformation during bending, cladding coating.

Measurement in Welding Processes:

Inline seam tracking, inline seam inspection.

Rotational Body Measurement:

Measurement of runout, wobble, eccentricity.

Why Companies choose QuellTech

We want to understand what you need

Our team possesses strong consulting skills and can clearly explain complex technical concepts. Our excellent communication skills enable us to successfully execute global projects, often across three languages.

Your complex technical challenges are in the best hands with us

Our customers receive a QuellTech project checklist that helps them consider all important aspects of their measurement tasks from the start. We conduct feasibility studies to minimize customer risk. If your measurement task can be solved better with other technologies, we will recommend them to you.

We have precise knowledge of the interplay between laser sensor and software

Sensor physics influence the capabilities of the software, as only a high-precision point cloud allows the image processing software to perform highly accurate measurements. Many projects require significant customization of hardware components. With the modular hardware concept of our laser sensors, we can make individual adjustments tailored to each project.

Frequently asked Questions

By measuring the laser profiles against a tolerance band. Any deviations that exceed or fall below the tolerance band are recorded as “errors.”

In principle, unlimited, as it is possible to arrange several 3D laser scanners side by side in parallel to achieve large measurement widths with high resolution. Individual 3D laser scanners can measure up to 1.5 meters in width. The best resolutions, meaning the smallest distance between two adjacent pixels, are 0.5 µm in the z-axis and about 5 µm in the x-axis.

QuellTech’s 3D laser scanners can be made very robust and immune to ambient light, depending on the model. This is especially important in environments involving welding processes. For high heat exposure, QuellTech offers water/air coolers as laser scanner accessories. Vibrations can be compensated for by special methods. Dust and moisture are managed with IP 67 enclosures.

Not necessarily, but in some cases, it may be advisable. For example, in high ambient temperatures, such as those created when measuring glowing steel, both the cable routing and sensors must be positioned in a cooled enclosure. In very dusty environments, an enclosure with windows for the optical path and a slight overpressure of clean air can be used to prevent contamination.

In production processes where the measurement objects are transported on a conveyor belt or roller conveyor, the 3D laser scanners can be mounted in fixed positions, such as above the conveyor belt, to continuously measure the objects as they pass through.

A design-in process is carried out for this purpose. QuellTech evaluates the exact requirements and the available space within the machine. If necessary, adjustments are made to the sensor shape. After thorough testing of the software and its interaction with other systems of the production plant, the sensors can be installed in series once approved by the customer.

Typically, we can implement our projects remotely. For very complex commissioning, we are available on-site at any time. Further adjustments after project implementation can also be made remotely.
