AUTOMATIC CMM SCANNING CMM manufacturers and inspection software companies worldwide have embedded ScanWorks™ in their products to provide users with a high-speed, accurate and integrated 3D scanning solution for 100% inspection and reverse engineering applications. The Contour Probe, compatible with a Renishaw Autojoint, becomes another probe selection during programming, but delivers up to 23,000 points/second. BENEFITS Embedding ScanWorks™ technology directly into an OEM's particular hardware and software has many benefits: • Operators and users program using their selected CMM vendor’s software • Separate hardware (controller) and specific software interfaces are no longer required • CMM is easy to maintain and service Perceptron is the industry leader in feature-based inspection using point cloud data. We have been providing 100% in-line process control systems using laser based 3D scanning technology at every major auto supplier in the world for over 24 years. IMPROVED PERFORMANCE CMMs are now easier to service through original system integrity maintenance. Since the Contour Probe is a non-contact device, programming the CMM is faster and easier to do. IDEAL FOR VARIOUS APPLICATIONS Higher throughput and productivity over conventional touch probe routines and the high data acquisition rate rapidly reduce the time required to scan large parts. Irregular shapes are easier to program too. Some CMM software even provides contour following algorithms that maintain the sensor a predefined distance from the objects' surface. THE FOLLOWING AUTOSOLVE ALGORITHM FEATURES ARE SUPPORTED: • Patch • Hole • Edge • Hex Hole • Corner • Sphere • Arc Center • Round Slot • Gap & Flush • Square Slot • Open Slot • Others
