From drawing board to CAD comparison

Optical 3D Coordinate measuring system TopoCAM 40x30x30

 

For example: 3D-CNC measurement of components

 

With a maximum geometric information density
enabled by the area-based measuring technique
of stripe projection with highest measurement
accuracy you are in a better position to check
and increase your product quality automated.

By an automatic 3D raster scan an acquisition
of the 3D geometry without previous accurate
knowledge of the object to be measured is
obtained. As result of the raster scan a 3D
dataset with several million measured points is
generated, quickly and defined comparable to a
CAD dataset or reference data.

Our Vision

we make your parts quality

transparent

 

The meanwhile, termed classical coordinate measuring technique based on tactile scanning, meats its limitations very quickly when used for the processing of free forms. Due to the applied principle of measuring data

acquisition, only single measuring points or designated positions can be captured. In practice, even intended standard geometries are often unfathomable free shapes that have to be recognised and measured by the metrological equipment!

 

With our new approach of providing a CNC-driven 3D coordinate measuring instrument with area-based measurement, we are opening up a new dimension in 3D coordinate metrology and leave no geometric surface defect on your component undiscovered.

 

Intelligible, and easily interpretable graphical 3D evaluation protocols with colour coded representations allow a selective elimination of possible quality faults on your components.

Modern manufacturing technologies increasingly allow the free form design of components in which regular shapes no longer need to be taken into  consideration.

The resulting so-called freeform parts or freeform surfaces can thus only be described by the CAD model.

As a consequence of this, a sufficiently high number of measuring points is required in order to describe and

compare such free shapes.
