Versatile, robot assisted 3D scanning

September 05 08:51 2013

Whenever scanning of most delicate structures or smallest deviations at a maximum level of accuracy is required, stereoSCAN is called into action. A quick change of the lenses or repositioning of the camera modules and the system is adjusted to perfectly suit any individual scanning task. Measuring fields ranging from a few millimeters up to one meter are configured and accomplished swiftly and easily. An accuracy level of significantly less than 1/10 mm is ensured by the reference setup, which is measured once only with the DPA.
The combination of these two systems with the object specific reference setup, a robot and a turntable allows for fully automated high precision digitization and inspection even of very large-scale measuring objects, enabling the data to be promptly evaluated and available for further processing.
The settings required for the automatic component measurements are specified once only; subsequent measurements can be repeated as often as needed while consistently maintaining the same level of quality. Surface data as well as hole pattern data and cut out data are captured at a high degree of density and accuracy. Overall, the digitization processes allow time and cost-saving measurements to be achieved and inspections of large quantities – the basis for optimized production planning.
In addition to automated quality inspection, the highly precise measuring processes can also be employed to create a digital components archive. This, for example, enables digitized prototypes and their respective inspection reports to be readily available as reference material for optimization and production.
