Robot mounted optical CMM Scanner

Featuring 45 Blue laser lines achieving 1,800,000 measurements per second allows high speed, automated inspection and quality control of hundreds of parts per day, directly on the production line, where speed matters.

Equipped with Blue laser technology, high quality scans are captured on all surface types, including shiny materials, without the need for surface preparation spray, the solution can be fully configured and programmed, just like a traditional CMM, to meet inspection and automation requirements for parts of all shapes and sizes.

Based on VDI/VDE 2634 part 3 standard in a ISO 17025 accredited laboratory the improved 0.025mm resolution means the MetraSCAN 3D-R offers metrology-grade accuracy, repeatability, and resolution, for surfaces, trim edge, and feature extraction measurements.

The coordinate system can quite literally be locked onto the objects being measured, thereby eliminating the effects of moving the part, vibrations, etc.

The automatic alignment function removes the need for manual, operator dependent alignment, drastically reducing the root cause of most measuring errors.

The MetraSCAN 3D-R has a fast calibration process using a certified reference gauge ensures constant accuracy during the MetraSCAN 3D-R entire life cycle.

The accuracy of the system is completely independent of the robot being used, such that you don’t need to invest in high-end robot cells to achieve an accurate measuring solution.

Continuous monitoring is implemented as the fully automatic controller constantly monitors the measuring environment (temperature, accuracy, etc.) to ensure the validity of the results, even in harsh measuring environments.

The MetraSCAN 3D-R is available as part of the Black Elite Creaform Scanner family.

Incorporating 69 Blue laser scanning lines for high speed acquisition of scan data within a measuring volume of up to 16.6 m3. The MetraSCAN-R can achieve a volumetric accuracy of 0.078 mm, while still acquring data at high speed (up to 3,000,000 measurements/second). The system is unaffected by surface finish, and can handle anything including highly reflective and polished surfaces without surface preparation.

No other robot mounted scanning device can match the MetraSCAN 3D-R for combined speed, accuracy and the ability to scan any surface.

Creaform’s TRUaccuracy technology ensures highly accurate measurements, regardless of the measurement environment – instability, robot vibrations, thermal variation, etc. make no difference to the speed and accuracy of the MetraSCAN-R.
