CAPTURE 3D launches large-volume 3D scanning sensor ZEISS ATOS LRX

“By delivering large-volume digitalisation quickly, the ZEISS ATOS LRX closes a gap in the metrology industry not yet met by current technology.”

CAPTURE 3D has unveiled its new large-volume 3D scanning sensor, the ZEISS ATOS LRX. The ZEISS company’s latest product aims to target the aerospace structures, automotive, heavy casting, shipbuilding, and wind energy sectors. This is due to the sensor's proposed ability to measure large parts both quickly and efficiently.

Key information:

  • CAPTURE 3D has launched its new large-volume 3D scanning sensor, the ZEISS ATOS LRX.
  • The sensor features an ultra-bright laser light source that captures up to 2x12 million coordinate points with one scan.
  • According to the 3D measurement solutions provider, the ZEISS ATOS LRX is set to provide rapid, high-quality 3D data and large-volume measurements.

CAPTURE 3D’s new sensor is said to be ideal for applications like aerospace structural components including fuselage, wings, wing ribs, and tail, as well as automotive design, crash testing, machine building, marine propellers, MRO, rotor blades and moulds, tool making, and wind turbine housing.

The ZEISS company claims that its sensor can provide a complete solution for applications that require rapid, high-quality 3D data and large-volume measurements. The 3D measurement company goes on to claim that the ZEISS ATOS LRX goes beyond the capabilities of conventional fringe projection systems, laser trackers, and laser radars. CAPTURE 3D’s new sensor is said to be able to capture high-resolution data with precision and detail, including complex geometrics and freeform surfaces.

All scanning, inspection, and reporting processes are completed using the ZEISS ATOS LRX software located within GOM Inspect Pro, which is part of the ZEISS Quality Suite. The software claims to provide detailed analyses and reporting functions and supports 3D scanning and inspection processes. Users can also control the sensor via a computer or remote control.

Key features of the ZEISS ATOS LRX:

  • An ultra-bright laser light source with the ability to capture 2x12 million coordinate points with one scan.
  • Delivers quick and precise data of very large parts.
  • Measures areas of up to four metres.
  • Includes robust sensor housing to protect against dust and water splashes, allowing the sensor to work in harsh environments.
  • Features a blue laser light generated by an advanced integrated laser light compressor.
  • The light can project over a measuring area of 2000x1600mm for short exposure times, even on dark and shiny surfaces.

Additionally, the ZEISS ATOS LRX has a class two laser. This provides maximum safety for the user, especially with the integrated sensor that monitors the user's distance and reduces the luminous intensity when necessary. The projector light can also be reduced when utilising features including the back projection, live tracking and touch probe.

ZEISS ATOS LRX is compatible with the new HyperScale software, which provides quick, on-site calibration and compensation of undesired effects of temperature changes. The scanner also features calibration cross CC50/2000 and the sensor self-monitors its calibration throughout the scanning process. In addition, allegedly a single measurement of a DAkkS-certified length standard can complete the sensor's calibration.
