Automating Quality Control with Universal Robots and eviXscan 3D Scanners
In the modern manufacturing landscape, automation is crucial
In the modern manufacturing landscape, automation is crucial for maintaining competitive edge and ensuring consistent quality. As an official partner of Universal Robots, we at eviXscan 3D provide integrated solutions that combine our advanced 3D scanners with Universal Robots cobots. These UR+ certified application kits streamline the implementation of automated quality control, saving time and reducing costs for our clients.
UR Partnership
Comprehensive Automation Solutions
Our 3D scanning systems, integrated with Universal Robots, offer fully automated quality control processes. This integration allows for continuous operation in production environments, minimizing operator involvement and enhancing overall efficiency. The eviXscan 3D scanners combined with Universal Robots cobots, forms an autonomous measuring unit that meets the rigorous demands of Industry 4.0.
Seamless System Integration
As an official partner of Universal Robots, we offer UR+ application kits with eviXscan 3D scanners: Fine Precision, Quadro+, Optima+M. The UR+ certification ensures faster deployment and a shorter return on investment, making the integration process straightforward and efficient.
User-Friendly Operation
With dedicated URCap software, the system operates in “Plug & Play” mode. Programming the robot’s work path is intuitive and does not require expert knowledge. Users can easily parameterize scans and utilize the full potential of eviXscan 3D Suite software, including predefined macro-commands for post-processing and model export.
Enhanced Quality Control
The integration of the scanning system with the production line enables 100% quality control with OK/NOK identification of measured objects. Analysis of production data allows for earlier identification and elimination of process errors, supporting predictive maintenance and improving overall product quality.
Cost and Time Efficiency
The automated system reduces direct operator involvement, thereby lowering production costs. The ready-to-use integration environment simplifies the mounting and connection of system components, facilitating a quick start and easy operation.
Our robotized systems provide:
- Continuous Operation: Designed for 24/7 operation, ensuring consistent and high-quality output.
- Full Automation: From scanning to quality control, the entire process is automated, reducing manual intervention and operational costs.
- Predictive Maintenance: Analyzes production data to identify and eliminate process errors early, preventing strategic failures.
- Comprehensive Reporting: Generates detailed measurement reports for data archiving, historical analysis, and production tracking.
Why Automate 3D Inspection with Collaborative Robots?
In the era of Industry 4.0, traditional manual inspection often becomes a bottleneck in high-speed production lines. Automating 3D inspection with collaborative robots (cobots) eliminates human error, ensures 100% repeatability, and significantly increases throughput. Unlike traditional industrial robots, cobots from Universal Robots can work safely alongside human operators without the need for bulky safety cages. By integrating eviXscan 3D scanners with UR cobots, manufacturers can transition from random sampling to 100% part inspection, ensuring that every component leaving the factory meets the highest quality standards.
Benefits of UR+ Certified Robotic Inspection Systems
The UR+ certification is a seal of excellence that guarantees seamless plug-and-play integration between eviXscan 3D scanners and Universal Robots. The primary benefit for the customer is a significantly reduced deployment time and lower technical risk. Our certified application kits come with dedicated URCap software, allowing users to control the scanner directly from the robot’s teach pendant. This synergy reduces the complexity of the integration, lowers the total cost of ownership, and provides a much faster return on investment (ROI) compared to building custom, non-certified robotic cells from scratch.
Applications in Automotive, Aerospace, and Heavy Industry
Automated robotic 3D scanning is revolutionizing quality control across diverse sectors. In the automotive industry, it is used for the high-precision inspection of engine blocks, body panels, and complex castings. Aerospace manufacturers rely on our UR-integrated systems to scan turbine blades and composite structures where even micron-level deviations are critical. In heavy industry, cobot-assisted scanning allows for the safe and efficient measurement of large, heavy components that are difficult to handle manually. This versatility makes our UR-integrated solutions a perfect fit for any environment where precision and efficiency are non-negotiable.
Industry 4.0, Digital Manufacturing, and Smart Factory Integration
Digitalization is the backbone of the modern smart factory. Our integrated solutions go beyond simple measurement; they act as a data gateway for digital manufacturing. By capturing high-density 3D data directly on the production line, the system provides real-time feedback to the manufacturing process. This data can be integrated into PLM and ERP systems, enabling advanced trend analysis, predictive maintenance, and the creation of comprehensive digital twins. This level of integration is essential for companies aiming to achieve full transparency and agility in their manufacturing operations.
