New Company Offers Blade Inspection Solutions

Nextec Laser Metrology LLC, a new corporation that serves the quality inspection market, has announced the establishment of its technical center and sales offices in Eastlake, OH where it has taken residence in a 16,000ft² facility. The company is a developer and integrator of 3D non-contact high precision, high speed, multiple motion axes laser scanning and measurement systems for a variety of quality-intensive industries. Full system automation can be provided for 100% in-process inspection of component manufacture.

On-site at the facility there will be Nextec inspection systems for customer demonstrations and application development including its unique WIZblade solution tailored for inspection of free form blade shapes. The company designs and manufactures turnkey automated in-line quality control solutions that fully integrate with production lines, successfully replacing slower manual and mechanical systems. 

In addition to the new Eastlake location, the owners of Nextec Laser Metrology have more than 300,000ft² of manufacturing space at other facilities that house design, engineering, machining, and service capabilities.

The company’s solutions are built upon proprietary technologies combining CCD and laser, innovative electro-optics, image processing and real time adaptive control from Nextec 3D Inspection Technologies (Haifa, Israel), which originally developed the solution in 2001. Haifa is part of the Israeli Silicon Valley corridor, recognized as a highly influential location for technology development second only to California’s Silicon Valley.
