(Metris: Leuven, Belgium) -- Metris (MTRS, Euronext Brussels) releases Laser Radar Driver 5.1 software to set new precision standards for automated, noncontact inspection of holes in large measuring volumes. Depending on hole diameter, Metris allows Laser Radar customers to reach accuracy and repeatability levels up to 30 times higher than before. Laser Radar’s innovative laser technology supports both automatic free-form surface measurement and feature detection/inspection without SMR or other targeting tools, inherently achieving higher inspection productivity.

Stricter quality requirements in aerospace industries increase the pressure on manufacturers and suppliers to further tighten feature tolerances. Correct positioning of features, such as riveting holes, is crucial in aircraft component assembly. With Laser Radar Driver 5.1, Metris optimized the capability of the system to inspect hole feature position and diameter in large-scale applications.
