26/09/2024
Creaform, a business of Ametek Inc and worldwide provider of automated and portable 3D measurement solutions, has announced the release of the MetraSCAN BLACK+, MetraSCAN BLACK+|Elite and HandyPROBE Next+, the latest versions of its suite of optical coordinate measuring machine (CMM) 3D scanners and probes. Leveraging new ISO 10360 certifications and set-up assistance tools, this latest generation of MetraSCAN 3D line-up aims to provide professionals with sophisticated tools to optimise their operations. Enabling the simple and precise measurement of large parts, the expansion of this line-up marks a strategic move by Creaform to meet the evolving needs of quality control (QC) experts.Engineered to optimise workflow and enhance outcomes in any given conditions and for any users (experts and non-experts alike), these new solutions introduce other standout features.
Guaranteeing confidence in the stated specifications, the sensor acceptance test procedure is based on ISO 10360, an international standard that ensures intense testing to define specifications and qualify sensor performance, and performance tests are carried out at Creaform’s ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited laboratories, which ensures the quality of facilities and equipment, the traceability of artefacts and the quality of validation methods.
The new Automatic Volume Extension specification now offers an accuracy specification of up to 0.025 mm + 0.015 mm/m in the extended measuring volume, ensuring trust in the performance and accuracy of the QC process on large parts.
Visible from all angles, the reusable and durable 360° magnetic targets are easy to set up, automatically detected for automatic management and data clean-up and help to deliver fast results.
Guidance tools provide visual guidance feedback on positioning targets when creating a set-up, which is especially useful for non-experts requiring guidance when making their first set-ups.
Troubleshooting tools offer advanced set-up diagnostics, making it possible to validate jig or part set-up deformations from any cause (thermal, impacts, etc) in a single click, while control tools provide full control on minimum target visibility to allow acquisition, as well as full control of equipment behaviour for specific less or highly demanding
applications.
