Published on May 23, 2025 | By Ryan Strafford - Press-Form machinery Ltd

In the world of precision manufacturing, milliseconds matter and microns make the difference. That’s where the Virtek LaserQC® system enters the scene—delivering shop-floor-ready inspection solutions with the speed of light and the accuracy of a micrometer.

Whether you’re producing aerospace components or custom sheet metal parts, here’s why LaserQC® might be the smartest investment your shop can make this year.

🔍 What Is LaserQC®?

Virtek LaserQC® is a self-calibrating, laser-based inspection system designed to perform 2D part measurements directly on the shop floor. With over 500 data points captured per second, it offers lightning-fast inspections without sacrificing precision.

Core Applications:

• ✅ First Article Inspection (FAI)
• 📊 Statistical Process Control (SPC)
• 🔁 Reverse Engineering
• 📐 Automatic Form Measurement (AFM)

⚙️ Behind the Technology

✅ Unmatched Accuracy

• 2D Measurements: ±0.002” (±0.05mm)
• 3D Formed Features: ±0.010” (±0.25mm)

🖥️ System Sizes

• LaserQC 1200: 48” x 48” scan area

🧱 Thickness Capacity

• Up to 200mm (8”) in 2D mode
• Up to 305mm (12”) with AFM

💡 Why Shops Love LaserQC®

🕐 Faster Turnaround

Scan flat or formed parts in seconds, compare to CAD, and print inspection reports—all right on the shop floor.

🎯 Color-Coded Accuracy

The Accuracy Dashboard uses a visual map to instantly highlight out-of-tolerance features. Even untrained operators can identify errors at a glance.

📄 Automated Reporting

Generate dimensioned Inspection Check Sheets, SPC charts, and ISO-compliant reports in just a few clicks.

🔧 Reverse Engineering, Simplified

Need to replicate an old part with no drawings? Just place it on the LaserQC® table, scan it, and export a CAD-compatible file. With built-in editing tools, you can clean up geometry and add it to your library with ease.

📏 Meet AFM: 3D Inspection Without Hand Tools

The optional Automatic Form Measurement (AFM) module allows you to:

• Measure flange heights
• Analyse curved or raised features
• Check edge-to-edge and hole-to-hole distances
• Replace callipers, protractors, and height gauges—all with a click

3D metrology has never been so intuitive.
