Non-contact 3D-Digitizer / next-generation 3D digitizer / high-end 3D digitizer (KONICA MINOLTA RANGE7)

Non-contact 3D digitizer KONICA MINOLTA RANGE7 can instantaneously digitize the external profiles of various industrial parts, including press parts, machined parts, dies, prototypes, cast parts and injection molded parts, into 3D data. The digitized profile data can then be accurately reproduced on a computer screen. By comparing this data against 3D CAD data with optional application software, you can quickly output measurement reports on overall deviation, cross-sectional deviation, wall thickness distribution and GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerance). This allows increased speed and improved quality in the manufacturing process.

In addition to measurement for inspection and quality control, KONICA MINOLTA RANGE7 offers various applications including:

► Reverse engineering
► Rapid prototyping
► Creation of machining data
► Digital mockup

KONICA MINOLTA RANGE7 opens up the future possibilities of non-contact 3D measurement by adding the elements of increased reliability, improved operability and easier transportability to Konica Minolta's accumulated optical technologies and auto-focus function.

Principal applications and measurement targets
Quality inspection (confirmation and verification of whether parts are manufactured to specifications) and reverse engineering (quantification of quality and capability of parts, etc.) from development to prototyping phases

► Cast and other formed materials
► Pressed parts
► Injection molded parts
► Various machined parts

Innovative performance offered by a next-generation 3D digitizer
Full of various types of know-how to enable high-quality 3D data to be obtained quickly and easily.

Easy-to-carry digitizer with integrated camera and controller
The KONICA MINOLTA RANGE7 is a new 3D digitizer series full of 3D digitizing know-how accumulated from Konica Minolta's over 10 years of experience. The compact and lightweight design integrates the camera and controller in a single body weighing only approximately 6.7 kg, providing high mobility on measurement sites. The two interchangeable lenses allow one digitizer to handle a broad measurement range.

Various focusing functions for quick capturing of clear 3D data
The auto-focus (AF) function implements further advances that only Konica Minolta could provide, to offer a multi-focus mode which automatically shifts the focus position in two steps to obtain more accurate and sharper 3D measurement data. This is especially effective for measurement of deep objects. The adjustment of distance and angle of view is also easy by using the point AF function which adjusts the focus to the point specified by the user and the Field of View (FOV) indicator which shows the current measurement area.

The 3D preview function reduces erroneous measurements
The 3D preview function allows users to predict measurement results quickly. With a pre-scan of only 0.4 seconds, users can check for measurement area depth, dead angles, scan problems due to surface conditions, etc. beforehand to greatly reduce erroneous measurements.
