Our Competitive Edge

N
We are an affordable and reliable choice for our clients. With the flexibility to travel anywhere, we can support our clients and deliver on their needs.
N
Our terrestrial 3D laser scanning service allows us to capture every detail of your project in a safe, efficient and accurate manner. It will then maximise your on-site productivity, and has the added benefit by providing accurate point clouds for future projects.
N
AMKS uses a portable CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) to precisely measure objects via either probe contact, contactless laser scanning, or a combination. CMM inspection is particularly beneficial for items with difficult to measure geometry, or larger items that cannot be easily measured using conventional methods.

Our Services

3D Laser Scanning

Our terrestrial 3D laser scanning service allows us to capture every detail of your project, whether it be a small machine or an entire site, we have it covered.

Dimensional Inspection

AMKS uses a portable CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) to precisely measure objects via either probe contact, contactless laser scanning, or a combination.

Reverse Engineering

A process in which a physical part is converted to an accurate CAD representation, by way of precise measurement. Used to replicate parts for manufacture that do not have existing drawings.

Aerial Inspection

AMKS is a CASA certified RPA (drone) operator. We have inhouse equipment with the capability to conduct aerial inspections, volumetric surveys, terrestrial mapping, 3D surface models, thermography, and photography.

Terrestrial 3D Laser Scanning

Our terrestrial 3D laser scanning service allows us to capture every detail of your project.  Whether it be a small machine or an entire site, we have it covered. Using our terrestrial laser scanner, we can provide a complete digital representation of your project.  The precise data can be used to evaluate a site quickly and accurately; form a foundation for design; provide quality inspection information; and more.

Terrestrial laser scanning uses a ground-based laser that “paints” surfaces with millions of points, that are then registered into a point cloud.  The point cloud consists of points, each with a XYZ coordinate that is measurable, and can be used to generate surfaces and shapes.

3D laser scanning offers a fast method for documenting and capturing existing conditions of a site and/or equipment.  Scanning is regularly employed for difficult to access areas on sites (eg. pipe racks, roof spaces), or large complex spaces that are difficult to measure via traditional methods (eg. Manufacturing and processing plants).

3D Laser Scanning has the following advantages:

  • Maximises on-site productivity
  • Design and installation risks are reduced
  • Eliminates re-work and cost of reactive engineering
  • Reduces health and safety risks to personnel

Dimensional Inspection

AMKS uses a portable CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) to precisely measure objects via either probe contact, contactless laser scanning, or a combination.

Dimensional inspection allows us to assess the geometric attributes of parts, plant, or equipment to verify compliance with design specifications to ascertain variances to tolerances. Common geometry checks can include hole diameters and concentricity, flatness of a surface, parallelism, position, profile, to name a few.

In basic terms a CMM probes a position in reference to a fixed point and assigns that position a 3-dimensional coordinate (XYZ). That coordinate is measurable to a high degree of accuracy, and in a controlled environment can achieve repeatability to within 0.05mm.

We have inspected a wide variety of objects that have included bearings, pump impellers, vehicle chassis, pump casings, and swirlers. In most cases clients are wanting to understand the as built condition of items to determine suitability for repair. We provide a full report detailing the inspection.

CMM inspection is particularly beneficial for items with difficult to measure geometry, or larger items that cannot be easily measured using conventional methods.

Reverse Engineering

Reverse Engineering is a process in which a physical part is converted to an accurate CAD representation, by way of precise measurement. Reverse Engineering is often used to replicate parts for manufacture that do not have existing drawings.

The great advantage of reverse engineering is the designer does not need to start from scratch. We take the existing part and work backwards to arrive at a 3D CAD model and/or set of drawings. The process is much faster and allows us some flexibility in modifying the design for improvements.

At AMKS we utilise our 3D Laser Scanning equipment to capture the as-built condition of the part where it is then processed through our 3D CAD software to create the 3D model and drawings.

We can customise a solution that suits your specific requirements and have the capability to supply anything from basic point cloud data right through to complete fabrication drawings.

Aerial Inspection

Aerial inspections using drones (UAVs) are an efficient and safe way to work. With our CASA certified pilots, backed by decades of engineering experience, we can tailor an inspection that helps identify and categorise risks to help your business prioritise work.
With the latest technology in high quality cameras, we can capture more detail than ever. We can provide you with photos, video footage, thermal images, 3D surface models and terrestrial mapping.
Imagery is a great way to document changes in your worksite and provide you with an overall snapshot of what is happening beyond your reach on the ground. We can identify damage to areas that are not visible to the eye and help identify hazards such as loose objects, damage to roofs, or faults in machinery. An optional AMKS tailor-made inspection report alongside the footage obtained in your aerial inspection, can provide you with recommendations backed by an experienced engineer.
AMKS also offer thermal imagery. Thermography is a precise way to highlight damage and risks, by identifying heat leaks and gauging extreme temperature changes without the need for lengthy inspections. It is the future of inspections and a great tool to use.
By using UAVs, you have an opportunity to inspect great heights without the need for excess manpower and time. It is safer, faster, and a more thorough way to inspect your worksite.
