ZEISS ScanCobot – 3D Scanning

ZEISS ScanCobot is a mobile measuring station with a collaborative robot, motorized rotation table and powerful software. The system is especially suited for the efficient quality control of small and medium-sized parts made of plastic, metal or cast iron. It can be used during the pre-production phase, such as design and prototyping, as well as during the market launch.

Key Highlights

  • Mobile
  • Versatile
  • Automated

Mobile

scancobot-mobile

ZEISS ScanCobot is particularly space-saving thanks to its small dimensions. Thanks to its low overall weight, the mobile measuring station can be moved directly to the location of the next measurement. To comply with market-specific safety regulations, the system can be supplied with a standardized safety housing.

Versatile

The ATOS Q optical 3D sensor quickly captures detailed information on the product quality of small to medium-sized parts placed on a motorized rotation table. To capture them completely, the ATOS sensor scans them from different directions. The Blue Light Equalizer enables high-speed fringe projection and is so powerful that short measurement times can be achieved even on uncooperative surfaces.

Automated

With ZEISS ScanCobot, fast and simple prototyping can be realized, toolmaking and testing can be supported and pre-production can be accelerated. The quality control and quality assurance of the final product can be optimized accordingly. Small and medium-sized parts can be measured efficiently so that quality problems can be quickly identified, analyzed and rectified.

Virtual Measuring Room

ZEISS ScanCobot is programmed fully automatically via the virtual measuring room (VMR). In it, the real environment is functionally represented in a virtual simulation. The VMR consists of a robot with a sensor, the programming, including the kinematics of the robot paths, the component and the measurement plan. Thanks to the VMR, the user does not need any special robot expertise. All robot movements are simulated in the virtual measuring room before execution and checked for safety.

Applications
