Creaform adds scanning and software products

​The MetraSCAN-R BLACK robot-mounted scanner, four additional models in the Cube-R 3D scanning CMM and the VXscan-R digital twin environment software will resolve many manufacturers’ CMM productivity issues, assures Creaform, which describes the new products so:

•Blazing-fast cycle times: Featuring 45 blue laser lines for a high-density scanning area that takes up to 1,800,000 measurements per second and generates live meshes

•More accurate and repeatable results: High accuracy of 0.025 mm in shopfloor conditions, regardless of instabilities, vibrations and thermal variations

•High resolution: A measurement resolution of 0.025 mm that generates highly detailed scans regardless of the surface, trim, geometric feature or type of sheet metal

•New digital twin environment software: VXscan-R enables users of all levels to easily and quickly program robot paths and optimize the line of sight of the robotic system

•Maximum versatility: Captures highly reliable 3D measurement data on shiny surfaces, objects with variations in reflectivity, different part sizes, and a wide variety of surface geometries

•Configurable and customizable portfolio: The Cube-R, which is offered in 16 configurations, and the MetraSCAN-R BLACK|Elite can be integrated into a custom measuring cell built according to client’s specific needs. Options include different types of safety enclosures, payloads and asset protection configurations.

•Operational simplicity: Creaform’s automated quality control solutions can be used by professionals who have little metrology knowledge. The MetraSCAN-R BLACK|Elite is compatible with major metrology software, enabling seamless integration within any type of production workflow.

“Manufacturers need to achieve fast, accurate and repeatable output—now more than ever before. With Creaform’s automated quality control solutions, manufacturers can increase their productivity,” explains Jérôme-Alexandre Lavoie, product manager at Creaform. “By detecting and addressing quality issues faster based on statistical analyses, corrective measures can be more proactively implemented to mitigate total quality costs (TQC) and unprofitable recalls.”
