Flywheel housings are usually made of metals, such as cast iron, aluminum alloy, etc., to ensure sufficient strength and durability. In automobiles and other internal combustion machinery, flywheel housings are installed at the rear of the engine and are connected to components such as the drivetrain and clutch.
In addition to providing protection and closure functions, the design of the flywheel housing also needs to consider the heat dissipation effect to ensure that the flywheel can effectively dissipate heat under high temperature conditions.
The shape and structure of the flywheel housing can vary depending on the engine type and use, requiring sophisticated craftsmanship and quality control during the manufacturing process.
Project Overview
The client, a company specializing in precision parts manufacturing, needed to perform 3D data inspection of the flywheel housing to ensure that its dimensional and shape accuracy met the stringent standards of automotive manufacturing.
3D scan of the flywheel shell sceneProject pain points
The structure of the flywheel shell is complex, basin-shaped and has a thin-walled structure, in which the pelvic floor acts as a positioning surface and at the same time there is a part of the overhang. It is difficult to accurately obtain detailed data on such a complex structure using traditional measurement methods.
Solution
With the Zeiss T-Scan Hawk2 handheld 3D scanner, the actual geometry and surface data of the flywheel housing can be obtained quickly and precisely.

The overall data of the 3D scan model of the flywheel shell
After the overall data of the flywheel shell 3D scanning model is completed, the 3D scanning data can be imported into the ZEISS Quality Suite inspection software for processing and analysis to generate a mesh model of the complete structure.
Flywheel Shell Triangular Mesh Model Detail Data T-Scan Hawk 2 uses a high-resolution dual CCD system and a laser emitter, 20 blue lasers to efficiently acquire large-scale data, 20 close-range blue lasers to easily scan high-resolution details, and 1 blue laser line to scan slot scans separately to ensure scanning efficiency and scanning integrity.
The laser scanning and global photographic positioning of the circular diameter & coaxiality detection data of the 3D model of the flywheel shell are integrated, and it has the dual-camera direct scanning positioning point mode and the single-camera high-precision scanning positioning point mode, which greatly improves the work efficiency.
