en.Wedoany.com Reported - Talleres Artificio, a mechanical engineering company based in Nogales, Chile, has introduced the FreeScan Trak Nova scanning system from SHINING 3D into its ball mill maintenance projects, reportedly reducing on-site measurement time by up to 50%.

Previously, the company relied on traditional manual tools for inspecting large mining equipment. This approach revealed several limitations: the complex geometries of ball mills and bearing pedestals were difficult to measure with conventional gauges, engineers often faced limited access to critical surfaces, results varied with operator experience, and it was challenging to verify key features such as cylindricity or shaft alignment without the ability to perform a full 180-degree scan.

The FreeScan Trak Nova is a large-area dynamic tracking system based on video photogrammetry (VPG) technology, allowing operators to continuously track point clouds within a wide scanning area. According to SHINING 3D, the system features a certified measurement module designed for high accuracy and consistency under demanding on-site conditions.

After deploying this equipment, engineers at Talleres Artificio directly acquire point cloud data on-site and use it to create digital models for reverse engineering, maintenance planning, and quality inspection.

The system can accurately assess geometric features such as cylindricity and relative misalignment between front and rear shafts, data that is difficult to obtain consistently with traditional instruments. Talleres Artificio's primary clients are in the mining, heavy industry, and advanced manufacturing sectors.
