Perceptron V5 Laser Scanner for 3D Measuring Arms

The Perceptron Scanner is a portable non-contact laser that produces a digital representation of any object quickly and accurately. The file created is a cloud of points that represent the surfaces and characteristics of the object and is used for reverse engineering , inspection and prototyping. Technology Advantage The ScanWorks™ portable scanning system combines the ease-of-use of portable CMM arms with the sophistication of Perceptron's scanning technology. The new V5 is the fatest point-collection system on the market, collecting data at 458,000 points per second with a laser bandwidth of 150mm. This combined with is twin camera technology means the V5 can see two side of an object at once.

RAPIDFROM XOR SOLID MODELLING

Create 'Real' Parametric solid models from 3D scanning data

Rapidform XOR makes the process of creating parametric CAD models from real world parts faster and easier by utilising a design process and user interface which are instantly familiar to CAD users. Capture design intent and design feature parameters, not just shapes.

PARAMETRIC CAD MODELS FROM 3D SCAN DATA

Rapidform XOR allows engineers to capture the design intent and design parameters of real world parts which may have lost their defining features during the manufacturing process or may not have ever had a CAD model. 3D scanning technology and Rapidform XOR provide manufacturers with the freedom and flexibility to extract the design parameters of any real world part, including prismatic features and free form surfaces. Because the CAD models created in Rapidform XOR are fully parametric, designers and engineers are able to modify the design parameters of the real world part to perfect the model for mass production within Rapidform XOR or in a downstream CAD system.

IMMEDIATELY REALISE THE BENEFITS OF 3D SCANNING

The design tools used to create models in Rapidform XOR are immediately recognisable to those already familiar with CAD applications. Engineers capable of designing with SolidWorks, CATIA, Pro/ENGINEER or USG NX can immediately begin modelling in

Rapidform XOR. The design process in Rapidform XOR utilises common CAD modelling features, user interfaces and processes such as extrude, round, revolve, sweep and loft. These features serve to make both Rapidform XOR and 3D scanning technology readily accessible to engineers, while the ease of use of the product allows 3D scan-based design to be institutionalised within the manufacturing process to increase the overall quality of products.

• Intelligent design process which eliminates the need for complete scans of parts
• Create high quality CAD models from imperfect scan data
• Save processing time by eliminating the need for polygon mesh cleanup and surfacing
• Models are instantly editable in both Rapidform XOR and major CAD systems
• Update existing CAD models to reflect changes in the as-built part – CAD correctTM
  

XOR RE-DESIGN WORKFLOW

	1. 3D Scan Data/STL Import triangulated 3D scan data or a polygon mesh model.
	2. Segmentation Automatically or interactively segment the mesh model based on feature regions. Cylinders, planes, cones etc are automatically detected on the model.
	3. Alignment Find out main coordinate system.
	4. Exploring design intent Identify and define a variety of feature modelling parameters. The model can be interogated and critical dimensions assessed.
	5. Feature Modelling Design a CAD model by building feature parameters from the mesh model. A full parametric history tree is created, which can be exported into downstream CAD systems.
	6. Checking accuracy The accuracy analyser provides real time deviation analysis throughout the design process to ensure that the CAD model is built within user-defined tolerances.
	7. Environment Mapping Check quality of surfaces before live transfering model into all major CAD systems including Solidworks, Unigraphics, and Pro-E.

Metronor is the new solution in medium to large range portable measuring systems. The uniqueness of design allows for laser-tracker class accuracy at price point way below traditional products in it’s class.

1. Patented infinite rotation of principle axes allows inspection in difficult-to-reach areas. 2. With the new Bridge-CMM class TESA kinematic multiwire probe joint, you get unsurpassed measuring performance. Carbon fibre probes feature automatic probe recognition. 3. A new smaller, easy-grip head features an LED work light and an integrated digital camera which allows the operator to graphically document a setup. 4. New SpinGrip infinite-rotating grips at elbow and forearm provide two low friction grip positions for better ergonomics. SpinGrips allow the CMM to ‘float’ in the operator’s hands, maximising accuracy and minimising operator fatigue.

5. Heidenhain encoders, manufactured to our specifications, offer ‘wide track’ bearing support which enhances performance. 6. Advanced carbon filter arm tubes are strong, lightweight, thermally stable and feature a lifetime warranty. 7. An improved, low profile Zero-G counterbalance reduces operator fatigue and delivers effortless control in all positions, including above and below centre line. 8. An upgraded 802.11g WIFI connection– transmitting up to 6 times farther and 50 times faster than Bluetooth – allows the operator to position the computer where it is most convenient.

9. A Li-lon battery allows on site inspection with AC power or cables. A sealed battery cover prevents contamination of the battery compartment or accidental dislodging of the battery. 10. A quick-clip probe holster keeps three spare probes and the change key safe and handy. 11. The universal mounting system attaches to a variety of bases, and includes a magnetic mount for a smaller footprint and simplified set up. 12. Quick change pre-calibrated auto recognition probes. Not only do you not have to calibrate the probe when you change it (due to precision coupling), you do not have to select the probe from a drop down menu as it is automatically recognised, as each probe contains a chip.

FARO Gage & Gage-PLUS - The Measure of success ®

Requirement
To inspect parts on the machine tool in the production environment.

Solution
The advent of the FARO Gage allows the machine tool operator to inspect the part on the machine meaning that remachining can commence immediately and tighter tolerances with fewer errors can be recorded directly on the shop floor.

Benefit
Removing a part from a machine to a temperature controlled inspection area in order to verify the part is a time consuming and expensive procedure. Inspecting parts directly on machine increases uptime and productivity improving your bottom line.
