Abstract
Various portable laser scanners are used at multiple sites throughout Lockheed Martin Aeronautics. In October 2022, our production and quality teams noticed variation between scan results which was large enough that it could lead to material misidentification as conforming or nonconforming. The team worked together to investigate the repeatability of the system, came to understand system limits, and deployed improvements which increased capability on most parts.
This presentation will review how a Measurement System Analysis revealed that certain part characteristics can challenge portable laser scanners, as well as what adaptations yielded positive results.
