Scanology AutoScan T 3D System

Optical Automated Inspection for Intelligent Production Lines

SCANOLOGY AutoScan-T

Automated Marker-Free 3D Inspection for the Production Floor

The SCANOLOGY AutoScan-T is an automated optical 3D inspection system designed for intelligent quality control in production and shop-floor environments.

AutoScan-T combines a high-precision optical tracking system, robotic automation and blue-laser 3D scanning to perform marker-free, non-contact and non-destructive measurement of manufactured components.

With accuracy up to 0.025 mm, scanning rates up to 2.6 million measurements per second, and a scanning area up to 500 × 600 mm, AutoScan-T can automate repeatable dimensional inspection while reducing operator workload.

Move 3D Inspection Into the Production Process

AutoScan-T is designed to automate dimensional inspection directly where parts are manufactured. Optical tracking continuously monitors the scanner, eliminating the need to apply traditional positioning markers directly across the part in the tracked measurement workflow.

03

Up to 2.6M Measurements/Sec

High-speed blue-laser scanning captures dense 3D geometry efficiently for repetitive automated inspection.

04

Production-Line Integration

AutoScan-T can be integrated into automated manufacturing environments for inline or near-line dimensional inspection.

05

Automated Automotive Inspection

Inspect Complex Body Structures Without Manual Scanning

AutoScan-T is especially well suited for repetitive inspection of automotive structures, stampings, body panels, castings and complex manufactured assemblies.

The robot moves the scanner through predefined positions while the optical tracker continuously determines the scanner's location.

  • Automotive body structures
  • Stamped sheet-metal parts
  • Castings
  • Battery components
  • Automotive tooling
  • Large molds
Multiple Scanning Modes

Speed, Detail and Deep-Feature Inspection

AutoScan-T uses multiple blue-laser scanning modes to capture both general part geometry and more challenging industrial features.

Up to 21 Blue Laser Crosses

Ultra-Fast Scanning

Rapidly capture overall component geometry for automated production inspection and quality control.

7 Parallel Blue Laser Lines

Hyperfine Scanning

Capture detailed industrial geometry when increased point density and fine surface measurement are required.

1 Blue Laser Line

Deep-Hole Scanning

Measure holes, slots, channels and recessed features that are difficult to capture using wider laser patterns.

Flexible Robotic Inspection

Automate Repetitive Measurement Tasks

A robotic arm carries the optical scanner through programmed measurement positions while the tracking system monitors the scanner in real time.

The system can be configured around different workpieces, positioners, rotary tables and other automation hardware to create application-specific inspection cells.

Key advantage:
Because the scanner is optically tracked, the robot does not need to serve as the measurement reference. This helps separate robot motion accuracy from the metrology measurement itself.

Integrated Inspection Cell

Build a Complete Automated Metrology Station

AutoScan-T can be configured as a dedicated robotic inspection cell with guarding, robot, optical tracker, scanner, part positioner and inspection workstation.

This creates a repeatable inspection platform suitable for production environments where consistent measurement routines are required.

  • Robot integration
  • Safety guarding
  • Rotary positioners
  • Production-line interfaces
  • Automated measurement sequences
  • Inspection software integration
Detailed Surface Inspection

Capture Full-Field Geometry Instead of Individual Points

Traditional gauges and touch probes typically measure selected locations. AutoScan-T captures dense 3D surface data across the component.

That data can be used to evaluate:

  • Overall dimensional deviation
  • Surface profile
  • Hole position
  • Feature geometry
  • Warpage
  • Manufacturing variation
