Automated 3D Inspection for Batch Production

SCANOLOGY AutoScan-K

24/7 Automated 3D Scanning, Inspection and Reporting

The SCANOLOGY AutoScan-K is an automatic 3D inspection system designed for unattended, repeatable and high-accuracy batch inspection in production environments.

Using machine vision, collaborative robotics, an intelligent rotary table and multi-mode industrial 3D scanning, AutoScan-K can automatically scan parts, compare captured data against CAD geometry, and generate inspection results with minimal operator involvement.

The current AutoScan-KM II configuration delivers up to 4.15 million measurements per second, 0.020 mm accuracy, 0.010 mm resolution, and a maximum scanning field up to 1440 × 860 mm.

Four Scanning Technologies

Speed, Fine Detail, Large Areas and Deep Features

AutoScan-K combines multiple laser configurations so the same automated inspection platform can adapt to different geometries and measurement requirements.

Up to 17 Blue Laser Crosses

Ultra-Fast Scanning

Rapidly capture general component geometry for high-throughput automated inspection.

7 Parallel Blue Laser Lines

Hyperfine Scanning

Capture high-detail surface data at resolution up to 0.010 mm.

11 Infrared Laser Lines

Large-Area Scanning

Capture a scanning field up to 1440 × 860 mm for larger parts and faster surface coverage.

1 Extra Blue Laser Line

Deep-Hole Scanning

Inspect deep holes, slots, grooves and recessed industrial geometry.

High-Density 3D Data

Capture Complete Surface Geometry

Instead of measuring only selected points, AutoScan-K collects dense surface data across the part.

This provides richer information for:

  • CAD deviation analysis
  • Surface profile inspection
  • Warpage evaluation
  • Geometric deviation
  • Feature inspection
  • Manufacturing process control

Personalized Operation

Create Inspection Routes for Different Part Types

Manufacturers are not limited to a single measurement routine. Different scanning modes and inspection routes can be created depending on the component geometry and inspection requirements.

This makes AutoScan-K well suited for both repetitive batch production and higher-mix manufacturing environments.

Flexible setup:
Parts can be fixtured at different angles, and automated scan paths can be adjusted to target the features that matter most for each inspection program.
Available Configurations

AutoScan-KM II vs. AutoScan-KM

Both current configurations deliver up to 0.020 mm accuracy, 0.010 mm resolution, large-area infrared scanning and integrated photogrammetry. The main difference is ultra-fast scanning speed.

AutoScan-KM

High-performance configuration for automated inspection at a lower maximum scan rate.

  • 11 blue laser crosses
  • 2.7 million measurements/sec
  • 7 parallel blue hyperfine laser lines
  • 11 infrared large-area laser lines
  • 1 deep-hole laser line
  • Up to 0.020 mm accuracy
  • 0.010 mm resolution
  • 1440 × 860 mm scanning area
Built-In Photogrammetry

Maintain Accuracy Across Larger Parts

AutoScan-K includes an integrated photogrammetry system designed to help control accumulated dimensional error over larger measurement volumes.

The built-in photogrammetry system provides:

  • 3760 × 3150 mm photogrammetry area
  • 2500 mm photogrammetry depth of field
  • Improved large-part dimensional stability
  • Reduced dependence on separate external photogrammetry hardware

For even more demanding large-volume measurement, AutoScan-K can also work with the MSCAN-L15 photogrammetry system.
