    FlexiScan3D is an in-line scanning-based dimensional inspection system for industrial machine vision. Using a 3-D scanner mounted onto a robot end-effector or onto a linear slide, the 3-D imaging system measures dimensional quality and detects surface defects of parts and assemblies during production. The system collects point-cloud data, automatically aligns them to the part CAD files, and allows extracting geometric features such as holes, slots, studs, surfaces, and others. The extracted are compared to user-defined tolerances and saved into the system's database for reporting, providing plant-wide production data access.

    NEW PRODUCT PRESS RELEASE

    Innovative 3D Scanning System for Quality Control

    FlexiScan3D is an in-line scanning-based dimensional inspection system. Using a 3D scanner mounted onto a robot end-effector or onto a linear slide, FlexiScan3D is capable of measuring the dimensional quality and detecting surface defects of various parts and assemblies during production. FlexiScan3D collects point cloud data, automatically aligns them to the part CAD files and allows extracting geometric features such as holes, slots, studs, surfaces, trim and hem edges, etc. The extracted data is compared to user-defined tolerances and then saved into the system’s database for reporting purposes. FlexiScan3D reduces process variation and improves quality, while providing plant-wide production data access for built quality monitoring and report generation.
