Fast and accurate 3D scanning solutions for automated quality control

Detect Quality Issues Faster and Make Better Decisions
The MetraSCAN 3D-R™ is a powerful, innovative robot-mounted optical CMM scanner that can be seamlessly integrated into automated quality control processes for at-line inspection in mass production. Its cutting-edge technology enables manufacturing companies to detect quality issues faster.
The CUBE-R™ leverages the power of the MetraSCAN 3D-R in a high-productivity industrial measuring cell that has been designed to be integrated into factories for at-line inspections. Compared to traditional CMMs, the CUBE-R is much faster, providing a gain in productivity and better efficiency.

Speed
The MetraSCAN 3D-R enables the measurement of hundreds of parts per day. Perfect for at-line inspection in mass production, it brings quality control as close to the part as possible. From easy integration to quick and simple installation, the MetraSCAN 3D-R helps you speed up your automated quality control processes—and accelerate your time to market.
Accuracy
Up to 3,000,000 measurements/second for short cycle times
Fast measurement speed
Regardless of surfaces, trims, and geometric features
High-density scanning area
69 laser lines

Accuracy and resolution
Due to its metrology-grade accuracy, repeatability, and resolution, the MetraSCAN 3D-R delivers high-quality results, whether on surfaces, trims or geometric features. The MetraSCAN 3D-R is free from rigid measurement setups, making it a 3D scanner engineered for industrial automation in shop-floor conditions. Thanks to the C‑Track optical tracker that enables dynamic referencing, both the 3D scanner and the part can move during inspection—maintaining part alignment as well as measurement accuracy and reliability.
