3D Scanner
The KEYENCE 3D Scanner seamlessly moves between scanning, analysis, and STEP output. Data obtained from a 360° scan of the target can be superimposed on the CAD data for comparison. This scanner even allows for cross-sectional analysis. STEP output is available immediately after analysis, enabling prompt reverse engineering.
Products Lineup
The VL-700 Series 3D Scanner CMM is equipped with the world’s first fully automatic CAD conversion function. From scanning to STEP file output, this scanner handles everything automatically. There is no need to go through specialised conversion software to obtain data in a format accessible by CAD software, which eliminates these steps from the work procedure. Furthermore, the newly developed high-resolution transmitter and receiver lenses and WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) CMOS sensor offer twice the detection ability of conventional models. True-to-life scanning makes it possible to obtain accurate 3D data with shape and colour information. Using the comparison fitting algorithm, CAD data and coordinates can be used to perform comparative measurements.
Features
Convert a Physical Object to a CAD Model in Minutes
One-click scanning enables even novice users to capture high-resolution data, with no stickers or special alignment required. After the scan data is captured, it can be automatically converted to CAD within our proprietary software and output for use with other applications.
Expand 3D Data Utilisation with Automatic CAD Conversion
Acquire data with twice the resolution of previous models, and automatically convert to CAD for a variety of uses.
The VR-6000 optical profilometer performs non-contact measurement to replace stylus profilometers and roughness meters. This 3D profile system captures full surface data across the target with a resolution of 0.1 µm, enabling measurement of features that cannot be performed with probe-type instruments. The new rotational scanning greatly expands the measurement capabilities of the system. True-to-life cross section measurements can be performed with no blind spots. Wall thicknesses and recessed features can be measured without cutting or destroying the target. In addition, the HDR scanning algorithm provides enhanced scanning capabilities for instantly determining the optimal settings to capture high quality data, even on glossy and matte surfaces.
Features
Rotational Scanning on a Wide Variety of Materials
A 3D profilometer can be used for a wide range of applications across multiple industries. Examples of materials that can be analysed using a surface profiler include medical devices, jet engine turbine vanes for the aerospace sector, and valve trains found in automotive manufacturing. Using a 3D surface profilometer in these contexts means you can get accurate measurements of material thickness and detection of defects without the need for the instrument to come into contact with the object. Unlike conventional surface roughness profilometers, parts can be rotated to scan surfaces that would not be accessible otherwise. These qualities and capabilities make these devices ideal for collecting measurements and inspecting precision components such as batteries, circuit boards, and stamped metal parts.
HDR Scanning Algorithm Enables Measurement of More Materials
Automatic Rotation to Perform Measurements with No Blind Spots
Measure Nearly Any Callout with a Single Device
There are numerous measurements that can be taken with a 3D profilometer. For example, this system can be used to record the profile of a target by tracing its surface, enabling measurement of 3D features and surface roughness. It can also capture 2D data to measure lengths, widths, and angles. A 3D profilometer also creates a computer-generated 3D model of the object for visualisation of the overall shape, while still maintaining a high resolution to observe minute surface features.
