Evatronix SA Introduces Wide-Range 3D Scanner for Large Parts

Evatronix SA, a Polish manufacturer of 3D scanners, developed the eviXscan 3D Wide Range 65 to quickly scan large workpieces.

The eviXscan 3D WideRange 65 scanner was designed for precise quality control of large parts in the shortest possible time. The scanning range of the WideRange 65 is 575 × 290 × 240 mm (22.5" × 11.5" × 9.5"); it reportedly completes a single scan in 1.2 seconds. The high resolution of the cameras (8.9 MP) achieves quality scanning results with a large range. The WideRange 65 provides optimal scan point density (54 points/mm²), which gives a good representation of the shape of the detail.

Another advantage of a scanner with such a large scanning range is that in one scan, it can include many of the necessary features on which measurements need to be taken. Minimizing the number of scans needed during quality control (QC) is an important factor on production lines, where there is limited time for scanning and generating a QC report. The ability to easily integrate with a collaborative robot enables for full automation of the scanning and QC process.

“Our goal is to create a series of structured light scanners with a very wide scanning range. With the development of camera and projector technology, 3D scanning technology is also developing,” Damian Dziura, R&D manager at Evatronix, explains. “The new high-resolution matrices used in the cameras make it possible to obtain enough 3D points with a large scanning range to make such scanners meaningful. Point density is a very key feature of a scanner, as it affects the accuracy of the representation of defects on a part.”

According to Evatronix, the WideRange line of scanners will be systematically expanded with larger scanning areas to enable scanning larger parts with high accuracy.
