However, specialized repair and reverse engineering can offer a technically and economically viable solution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This is the case of a <strong>DEA Global 12.30.10<\/strong>, a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) that the manufacturer had declared <strong>&quot;irreparable&quot;<\/strong> after suffering a breakdown caused by an impact on the Z axis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The failure affected a structural component connecting the bridge and the Z-axis, compromising the machine&#039;s operation. After more than two months of waiting, the manufacturer ruled out repair, leaving the customer with the prospect of making a significant investment to replace the equipment.<\/p>\n<h2>T\u00e9ciman Metrolog\u00eda accepts the challenge of repairing the DEA<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Given this situation, <strong>T\u00e9ciman Metrology<\/strong> decides to address the repair of the <strong>DEA Global 12.30.10<\/strong> through a comprehensive process that combined technical diagnosis, disassembly, reverse engineering, component reconstruction and geometric recovery of the machine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The first step is to completely disassemble the <strong>MMC DEA<\/strong>This is a particularly complex operation due to the machine&#039;s size and characteristics. The goal is to access the damaged part, remove it, and analyze it to determine the feasibility of rebuilding it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">From there, the technical team of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teciman.com\/metrologia\/en\/engineering\/\">T\u00e9ciman Engineering<\/a> develops a process of <strong>reverse engineering<\/strong> of the fractured piece, studying different manufacturing and repair alternatives and evaluating their technical feasibility.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This analysis allows us to define a specific solution to recover the component and return the machine to suitable operating conditions.<\/p>\n<h2>Reverse engineering and repair of the critical part<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Repairing a DEA Global is not simply a matter of replacing a part. In a coordinate measuring machine, the<strong> Geometric accuracy of the assembly is fundamental<\/strong> to ensure the reliability of the measurements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">For this reason, the process includes:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Complete disassembly of the machine.<\/li>\n<li>Extraction of the damaged structural part.<\/li>\n<li>Analysis and <strong>technical feasibility study<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reverse engineering<\/strong> of the component.<\/li>\n<li>Evaluation of different manufacturing and repair alternatives.<\/li>\n<li>Reconstruction and repair of the part.<\/li>\n<li>DEA full assembly.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teciman.com\/metrologia\/en\/maintenance\/\">Geometric adjustment<\/a> complete.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teciman.com\/metrologia\/en\/calibration\/\">Accredited calibration<\/a> by ENAC.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Once the repair was completed, the technicians from T\u00e9ciman Metrolog\u00eda reassembled the machine and carried out a <strong>Complete geometric adjustment<\/strong>, restoring the correct relationship between the different elements of the MMC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Finally, the <strong>ENAC accredited calibration<\/strong>, an essential step to verify the metrological behavior of the machine and guarantee the recovery of its performance.<\/p>\n<h2>A fully operational AED and \u20ac120,000 in savings<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The result of the project is the recovery of a <strong>DEA Global 12.30.10 fully operational<\/strong>avoiding equipment replacement and allowing the customer to maintain their measurement processes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The repair involves a <strong>approximate savings of \u20ac120,000<\/strong> compared to the investment initially proposed by the manufacturer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">In addition to the cost savings, the solution has allowed for a reduction in lead times of approximately <strong>three months<\/strong>minimizing the impact that the unavailability of a CMM of this type could have on the client&#039;s industrial activity.<\/p>\n<h2>Repairing an AED to extend the lifespan of an MMC<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This case demonstrates that a serious breakdown does not always mean that a three-dimensional measuring machine has reached the end of its useful life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The combination of <strong>Reverse engineering, metrological knowledge, specialized manufacturing, mechanical repair, geometric adjustment and calibration<\/strong> It can allow the recovery of coordinate measuring machines that, under certain circumstances, have been considered irreparable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">For industrial companies that rely on their metrology equipment to ensure the quality of their processes, evaluating the possibility of repairing a <strong>DEA Global<\/strong> It can become a particularly interesting alternative to completely replacing the equipment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">In this project, the repair has allowed <strong>to give a second life to the MMC, maintain the customer&#039;s measurement capacity and avoid an investment of around \u20ac120,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Does your 3D machine need repair?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Each breakdown requires a specific technical analysis. A feasibility study can determine if the machine can be repaired, what solution is technically most suitable, and what the most efficient alternative is to replacing the equipment.<\/p>\n<p>T\u00e9ciman Metrolog\u00eda handles these types of projects comprehensively, from diagnostics and reverse engineering to repair, assembly, geometric adjustment, and machine calibration.
