Automated Quality Control for Collaborative Robots: A Blessing for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises

VXscan-R software, part of the well-known R-SeriesTM, is an automated 3D scanning solution ideal for near-line applications, turnkey projects, or customizable layouts. VXscan-R provides a reliable and accurate digital twin environment for project preparation, scan simulation, and execution. The R-Series includes the robotically assembled optical coordinate scanner MetraSCAN 3D-RTM, designed for companies that want to detect defects as early as possible and ensure that the measurement results of all parts are accurate and unaffected by human and subjective factors

Explore the accessibility of the R-Series with VXscan-R and learn about the benefits of integrating it into your existing manufacturing and quality processes.

• Compatibility: The new version of VXscan-R is now compatible with collaborative robots (Fanuc CRX) as well as a variety of new industrial robot models, making it suitable for a wide range of workflows, from large production lines to those of small and medium-sized businesses.

• Easy to deploy: With its lightweight and compact design, users can easily and quickly deploy the R-Series equipped with cobots, regardless of their level of expertise or experience.

• Powerful: MetraSCAN 3D-R offers high-performance optics, blue laser technology, and 360° target coverage, providing high-precision measurement data, high-speed scanning, versatile operation, and ease of use for a wide range of quality control tasks. And that's the key to efficiently solving productivity issues and improving product quality.

• Seamless integration: Whether it's a custom layout or a turnkey solution, the R-Series solution is fully integrated with VXscan-R software, so it can be seamlessly integrated into any automated quality control process.

• Safety: Collaboration isn't just about talking. It means that the robot works with and around the operator. Therefore, safety functions, such as automatic stop in the event of resistance, are very important to maintain a safe working environment.

Jérôme-Alexandre Lavoie, Product Manager at Creaform, said: "By adding cobots to our R-Series offering and supporting more industrial robot models, we can ensure that businesses of all sizes can afford high-quality scanning technology products based on offline programming software. Using automation has never been easier. ”
