Advantages of the Laser-Optical Robotic System MetraScan-R Black Elite HD
Scanning Speed:
The MetraSCAN 3D-R allows for the measurement of a large number of parts per day. It is ideal for quality control in mass production environments. The scanner can be easily and quickly integrated into the production process. MetraSCAN 3D-R helps to accelerate automated quality control and reduce product time-to-market.
High measurement speed: up to 3,000,000 measurements per second. This ensures a short cycle time.
Scanning is independent of surface type, finish, and geometric features.
A high-density scanning area is provided by 69 laser lines.
Accuracy and High Resolution of the Robotic 3D Scanner Creaform MetraScan-R Black Elite HD
The MetraSCAN 3D-R provides high accuracy, repeatability, and metrological-grade resolution. This ensures high-quality results when scanning various surfaces, finishes, and geometric elements. The scanner does not require rigid measurement setups. It is designed for industrial automation in shop floor conditions. The C-Track optical tracker provides dynamic referencing. Thanks to this, both the scanner and the part can move during inspection. This maintains part alignment, as well as measurement accuracy and reliability.
Accuracy in shop floor conditions with dynamic referencing is 0.025 mm. This value is independent of instability, vibration, and temperature variations.
Reliability is confirmed by acceptance tests based on VDI/VDE 2634 Part 3 and ISO 10360 standards.
The testing laboratory is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025: 2017.
Volumetric measurement accuracy is 0.078 mm.
High resolution reaches 0.015 mm.
