At the Euromold exhibition
(1st to 4th December 2010 in Frankfurt, Germany) WENZEL
Group presents the introduction of its Blu-Scan Sensors.
At the forefront of this new technology, WENZEL
subsidiary WENZEL ScanTec, has pioneered and implemented
Blu-Scan technology into its industrial 3D laser
scanning machines.
The new “Blu-Scan” blue laser scanning sensor has been
implemented into Mobile Scan3D - a mobile CNC laser
scanning solution that represents a productivity
breakthrough for the reverse engineering sector and part
inspection verification. Since the system offers full
CNC automatic scanning, the accuracy of the acquired
dataset is significantly enhanced over the same data
acquired using portable arm and provides automatically
structured and ordered data minimizing subsequent data
“cleanup‟ and processing time.
The new ”Blu-Scan” sensor projects a much finer line
(50µm laser thickness) than the previous generation of
red laser sensors. It has also a higher resolution and
is much more tolerant to surface textures. The distinct
advantages over red laser technology are (?) more power,
constant laser line thickness through the measurement
area and less speckle due its shorter wavelength which
also provides much improved focus and a thinner
projection line. To the end user all of the above means
higher data collection rates, higher resolution data and
more accurate processed images.
MobileScan3D can be used for numerous applications; an
optional rotary table can be used to rotate the part and
perform a complete scan pass, which provides all the
scans in the same coordinate system. Since the whole
system is fully CNC the results are extremely repeatable
and not operator dependant, where competitive manual
systems are not. Different sensors are interchangeable
and can be switched in a couple of minutes without the
need to recalibrate the system. |
