High-tech inspection at PRI 2016
Approved body components specified under the INDYCAR aero
kit rules are off limits to alterations by the Verizon Series teams, but if you
are at all like the author you have wondered “how do officials know what is
legal or not?”
Online Resources Inc. demonstrated the system on the PRI show floor
using Ed Carpenter's Fuzzy's Vodka DW12 INDYCAR
At the 2016 Performance Racing Industry (PRI) show in
Indianapolis, Online Resources Incorporated demonstrated their Creaform Handyscan
700 scanner, Surfcam and Geomagic software which is used to create a 3D model as
an inspection and quality-control service for INDYCAR.
“A laser line is reflecting over the car and cameras built
into the scanning unit are capturing the position,” said Jay Schaumberg,
president of Online Resources Inc. "The Geomagic
Capture compares the scanned results to the files provided by INDYCAR with different
colors on the monitor used to represent tolerances accepted or outside the
rules."
The laser scanning inspection complements areas measured and weighed during the technical and safety inspection process during INDYCAR race weekends.
