In the nautical and naval sector, the precision of dimensional measurements is essential to guarantee the safety and reliability of the boats.

To this end, the market offers various technological solutions based on laser distance meters, laser sensors, archimeters for measuring beams and bending machines, vision systems, LED illuminators, artificial intelligence, industrial stroboscopes and torque control torque meters.

LASER distance meters are non-contact measuring instruments that use the reflection of a laser beam to determine the distance between two points.

Thanks to their precision and the possibility of making remote measurements quickly, these instruments are used in the analysis of the water lines of boats and in the control of dimensional tolerances for the construction of mechanical parts and metal carpentry.

LASER sensors, on the other hand, are used in quality control systems for checking the size and geometry parameters of the surfaces of the structural elements of the boats.

Thanks to their resistance to bad weather and vibrations, they are particularly reliable in even extreme marine environments.

Radius archimeters are devices used to accurately measure the radii of curved surfaces.

They are essential in the production of structural parts with curved shapes, such as propellers or turbines.

The archimeters for bending machines, on the other hand, are indispensable when bending metal sheets and pipes for the construction of structural parts.

Vision systems find application in verifying the structural integrity of boats, checking in real time for the presence of any breakage or deformation of the structures.

These systems exploit the acquisition of images through high resolution digital cameras to identify any imperfections.

LED illuminators, featuring superior brightness and chromatic quality compared to other light sources, are commonly used for visual inspection of mechanical parts or electronic circuits on board.

Artificial intelligence is one of the latest technological developments in the quality control industry.

Solutions based on these techniques are used to automatically and systematically analyze the measurements made, obtaining useful information to optimize production and guarantee maximum product quality.

Industrial stroboscopes are used to check the rotation speed of motors and moving mechanical parts, while torque control torque meters allow you to measure the effective turret exerted on the caps of bottles and other containers intended to contain liquids.

In conclusion, the nautical and naval sector requires the use of advanced and mutually complementary measuring instruments to guarantee maximum efficiency and safety of the boats.
