Press Release Summary:
Portable Laser Scanning Inspection System allows real-time inspection of parts against CAD models and point-cloud generation for reverse engineering applications. It includes choice of 6- or 7-axis portable coordinate measuring machine, laser scanner probe, and geometric and surface inspection software. System can collect and analyze over 23,000 points/sec. It avoids any contact with part that might cause marking of sensitive surfaces.
Original Press Release:
ROMER CimCore Introduces NEW Real-Time Laser Scanning Inspection System
July 2003 Farmington Hills, Michigan USA - ROMER CimCore is introducing the world's first portable Laser Scanning Inspection System allowing Real-Time inspection of parts against CAD models and point-cloud generation for reverse engineering applications.
This system includes a six or seven axis portable coordinate measuring machine, a laser scanner probe and a full-featured geometric and surface inspection software package that includes point cloud functionality. This combination provides real-time geometric and surface inspection to a CAD file with a laser scanner or hard probe, point cloud generation for reverse engineering and output to CAD applications in a wide variety of formats. This system provides ± .050 mm (.002 in) accuracy plus the accuracy specification of the portable CMM (varies by model and measuring envelope).
The use of the ROMER CimCore portable coordinate measuring machine brings all the benefits of articulating arm measurement to this NEW technology and allows the laser to access those difficult to reach locations on the topside, inside and underneath the work-piece.
The NEW ROMER CimCore laser scanning inspection system is capable of collecting and analyzing in excess of 23,000 points per second. This allows far more detailed inspection of both geometric and surface features than would be practical with a physical probe. It also avoids any contact with the part that might cause marking of sensitive surfaces or deflection of thin and/or soft materials.
The large volume of data collected can be analyzed in a number of ways. A filter can be applied to the points so that only those out of tolerance are displayed on the screen or included in the report. Alternatively, a color gradient, which indicates whether the points are in tolerance, above tolerance or below tolerance, can be used to produce what is effectively an instant color "weather map" of the accuracy of the component.
All data collected can be used for more detailed off-line analysis and reporting with wide range of editing options. A unique file format simplifies data management by allowing all the inspection information to be combined with the original CAD data, the sequence of operations and the inspection reports in a single archive.
ROMER CimCore manufactures articulating arm portable coordinate measuring machines for inspecting or reverse engineering of fixtures, assemblies or manufactured parts.
