Prototype of Robotized T-Scan Application

Aicon 3D Systems, Leica Geosystems distribution partner in Germany, showed their prototype of a large-volume laser scanner incorporated into a fully automated robot-based system for dimensional inspection in the automotive sector at this years Control show in Stuttgart. The robotized prototype is a one-of-a-kind development eagerly awaited by the companys numerous automotive customers due to its accuracy capabilities and measurement volume of 30 meters. It digitizes almost all surfaces, from shiny to black, in one step, requires no powdering and produces immediately usable point-cloud data for real-time on-screen analysis and comparison to CAD. The whole pro­cess has been automated for customers who perform a lot of repetitive, serial inspections, for example body-in-white part inspection of large numbers of measurement objects with minimal operator interaction.
