Presto combines the AS1 scanner with the Leica Absolute Tracker AT960 for precise automated inspections
manufacturing eff iciency and quality. “Our laser trackers and scanners
provide signifi cant eff iciency advantages,” Dentici explains. “For example, our solutions can reduce inspection times by up to 75% compared to traditional technologies. This means enormous cost savings, greater agility, and enhanced fl exibility in processes.” Hexagon’s MI division has developed
a modular 3D scanner designed for inspecting large surface and deep cavities. The Absolute Scanner AS1- XL works with both a laser tracker and a portable measuring arm device. It’s also equipped with Hexagon’s Shine technology which allows it to capture clean 3D data at high speed, even from highly-refl ective and challenging surfaces.
The Absolute Scanner AS1-XL The AS1-XL’s wide scan line,
measuring 600mm at mid-range, combined with its rapid point acquisition rate of 1.2 million points per second and 300Hz frame rate, makes it ideal for scanning large surfaces without sacrifi cing detail. Its extended stand-off distance of 700mm and hidden point measurement capability of up to one metre further enhance its versatility.
MAKING MANUFACTURING SMARTER At a time where skills shortages are impeding daily operators for many automotive manufacturers, an integrated robotic system eliminates repetitive manual set-up and calibration processes, enabling teams to work more eff ectively and focus on operations. These systems can potentially halve total inspection time compared to other modern inspection technologies. Hexagon MI’s Presto system
enhances adaptability in manufacturing by automating robotic programming. Quality control specialists can quickly create and deploy inspection solutions, allowing operators of all skill levels to safely
load and inspect parts with ease using a simple control panel. Presto combines Hexagon’s Absolute
Scanner AS1 with the Leica Absolute Tracker AT960 for rapid, precise automated inspections. Its blue laser captures detailed scans, while SHINE technology measures refl ective surfaces eff ortlessly. The software simulates inspections using a digital twin for seamless operation.
POWER AT CARMAKERS’ FINGERTIPS Automotive manufacturers are increasingly focusing on comprehensive quality inspections, sampling parts more frequently. Robotic systems like Presto seamlessly integrate with existing metrology and quality assurance processes, providing valuable data that helps identify potential issues and drive continuous improvement. By enhancing measurement accuracy,
metrology not only boosts overall quality but also reduces the risk of defects that could jeopardise vehicle safety. And as autonomous vehicles become more prevalent, ensuring precision and reliability in manufacturing is essential to safeguarding the future of transportation.
