3D quality inspection in coordinate measuring machines

The generation of 3D point clouds in coordinate measuring machines (CMM) is used both for quality inspection and for reverse engineering. Here, laser profile scanners from the scanCONTROL series capture the geometric shape of objects by moving them mechanically across the measuring table. A special CMM trigger in the sensor ensures precise synchronization of the measurement time with the current measurement position, allowing the image to be captured without a time offset. This increases the accuracy of measurements from different directions during movement.

The sensor transmits the captured raw data in the highest quality and in accordance with the GigE Vision standard into an overall coordinate system. This is done at a high speed of up to 10 million points/second. Thanks to the compact dimensions of the sensor, its low weight and the integrated controller, the measurement setup is extremely space-saving. At the same time, these features enable high movement speeds and flexible integration in various applications.

The wide range of scanCONTROL sensor models enables adaptation to table and object sizes as well as materials. Due to the large number of available interfaces, the sensor can be put into operation with almost any table controller.
