Creaform, a worldwide leader in portable 3D measurement solutions and 3D engineering services, and HGS Automation, a custom robotic solutions integrator with proven success in plant automation, has announced to have formed a strategic alliance.
As per the agreement, HGS Automation will sell, integrate and commission fully integrated Metrascan-R solutions, which provide robot-mounted optical CMM 3D scanners for automated inspection on and off the production line.
Based on the Metrascan 3D technology, the R (robot) version offers high accuracy, portability and an intuitive interface to clients in need of 3D scanning devices for on-line measurements in the automotive and aerospace industries. HGS Automation also plans to offer custom solutions for clients in the heavy truck, rail, marine, medical and general manufacturing industries.
Incorporating Creaform’s TRUaccuracy technology, the robotised inspection solutions offer HGS Automation customers various benefits that include automated inspection and quality control performed directly on production lines, the solution can be fully configured and programmed (inspection programs) to meet inspection automation requirements for parts of various sizes and shapes, highly-accurate measurements of up to 0.085 mm in shop floor conditions (no matter instability, vibrations, thermal variation etc.). Accuracy is determined by the optical CMM scanner and independent from the robot.
With the C-Track’s dynamic referencing mode, the coordinate system can be literally “locked” onto the part being measured, therefore maintaining part alignment during the entire scanning process regardless of the production conditions. Simply positioning a certified gauge in the work envelope ensures constant accuracy during the systems entire life cycle while monitoring of parameters, such as temperature and accuracy, ensures constant device accuracy during a systems entire life.
