New GOM sensor offers full-field digitising and inspection of contoured part geometries

With the ATOS Capsule, a new sensor for full-field digitising and inspection of contoured part geometries is now part of GOM’s ATOS optical measurement machine series.

ATOS Capsule is a fringe projection system that is used for production quality assurance of small- to medium-sized parts, offering high precision measurement for fine details. ATOS Capsule is used, for example, for first article inspection of gears, turbine blades and wheels, as well as medical parts. In addition to surface deviations from CAD, GD&T data and detailed information is derived automatically.

ATOS Capsule combines proven GOM technologies, such as blue light technology and the triple scan principle, with a cutting-edge housing design that provides optimum protection against dust and water splashes. The stiffness of the unibody housing allows the sensor to achieve the required process stability for automated applications and precise measuring results.

In the standardised optical 3D measuring machine ATOS ScanBox, the ATOS Capsule system is used for fully automated measurements and inspection. For different part sizes and applications, flexible and partly mobile solutions are available. Using the photogrammetric add-on sensor ATOS Plus, bigger components or several parts can be measured simultaneously in an ATOS ScanBox, while increasing the overall accuracy at the same time.

Two versions of the ATOS Capsule are available offering different levels of detail. The system captures 8 or 12 million points per scan with changeable measuring areas. The dimensions of the sensor, its low weight and the short working distance simplify its application.
