Innovation Through Collaboration
The Smart ScanTM Solution combines cutting-edge technologies from Automated Precision Inc. (API) and Steinbichler Vision Systems to create high resolution 3D point clouds without the need for multiple setups or triangulation targets. Using the Smart Scan reduces the time needed to perform 3D surface quality control checks or large surface-area scanning from days to hours.
More Than Just Fast - Its Highly Accurate
The unique hardware setup of the Smart ScanTM provides increased measurement accuracy. Unlike current scanning and image stitching products which lead to overlap, bending, and other photogrammetric errors, scanned patches are stitched together based on precise coordinate measurements of the part and the scanner. This leads to increased accuracy and lightning-fast image stitching.
So How Does It Work?
First, the Smart ScanTM utilizes the long-range accuracy of API's Tracker3TM and SmartTRACKTM Sensor to measure the exact 6-DOF position and orientation of the Steinbichler COMET 5© 3D Scanner. Next, Steinbichler White Light Scanner technology obtains high-accuracy 3D point cloud images. Finally, Smart Scan software uses the coordinate measurements to seamlessly stitch the 3D point cloud images together resulting in one large 3D point cloud.
Easy to Automate
By using simple positioning systems for the scanner, such as robot arms or gantries, the Smart ScanTM decreases measurement time from days to hours. Measurement tasks that were not possible before are easily achieved using the Smart Scan.
