Move From Manual Inspection to Automated 3D Measurement

AM-DESK allows manufacturers to automate repetitive 3D scanning and inspection without requiring a large traditional metrology cell. Preset inspection programs can control the robot, scanner, turntable and measurement workflow while reducing operator involvement.

AM-DESK Highlights

Designed for Flexible Production Inspection

01

One-Button Automated Inspection

Preset measurement programs allow operators to start complex robotic scanning routines without manually scanning every component.

02

Automatic Calibration

The AM-DESK 60120 supports automatic scanner calibration to help maintain measurement performance during demanding production use.

03

Compact 1 m² Footprint

Bring automated dimensional inspection onto the production floor without installing a large traditional metrology cell.

04

Flexible Robot Integration

AM-DESK supports multiple collaborative robot platforms, allowing the system to be configured around specific automation requirements.

05

Multiple Positioners

The full AM-DESK 60120 can work with additional plug-and-play positioners to expand the measurement workspace and part access.

06

Automated Inspection Reports

Scan data can be compared against nominal CAD geometry and used to generate repeatable dimensional inspection results.

Automated Non-Contact Measurement

Let the Robot Handle Repetitive Scanning

A compatible SCANOLOGY scanner can be mounted directly to the collaborative robot so AM-DESK can automatically move the scanner around the component.

This approach is particularly useful when manufacturers need to inspect the same part repeatedly or process multiple part types through predefined inspection programs.

  • Automated 3D scanning
  • Repeatable scanner positioning
  • Reduced manual inspection time
  • Full-field surface data
  • Batch quality control
  • Automated reporting workflows
Automated Inspection Workflow

From Part Loading to Inspection Report

1

Load the Part

Place the component on the AM-DESK turntable, fixture or supported positioning system.

2

Select the Program

Choose the predefined inspection routine for the part being measured.

3

Automatic Scanning

The robot and positioner automatically move through the required measurement positions.

4

Analyze & Report

Process the 3D data, compare against CAD and generate inspection results for quality control.

Production-Ready Inspection

Inspect Complex Manufactured Components Automatically

AM-DESK can automate the capture of complex surfaces that would otherwise require an operator to reposition both the scanner and the component manually.

The programmable turntable and robot allow the scanner to reach different orientations while maintaining a consistent inspection routine.
