ATOS Core 3D Optical Scanner
Introduction
In today’s world, where automotive, aerospace, energy, casting, and mold production industries are advancing at a breakneck pace, traditional measurement tools are no longer sufficient for ever-growing needs. What is prioritized today is high precision, speed, portability, and automation. The ATOS Core 3D optical scanner is the answer to these needs; a system that, by combining advanced imaging technologies, narrow-band blue light, and powerful software, has become a global standard in the field of 3D optical measurement.
Introducing the ATOS Core Device
ATOS Core is a 3D optical CMM system that captures the dimensions and shape of small and medium parts with very high precision using photogrammetry and non-contact optical scanning technology. By producing a high-resolution point cloud, this device enables 3D inspection and analysis of free-form surfaces, complex parts, and various geometric forms.
ATOS Core consists of three distinct product lines:
-
Essential Line → For basic scans and producing 3D meshes (STL) with GOM Scan software.
-
Professional Line → For full shape and dimension analysis, with ATOS Professional software and Triple Scan Technology capability.
-
Kinematics Line → For automated inspection of small parts using ATOS ScanBox and VMR software.
Key Features and Technologies
-
Full-field Measurement: Capability to capture the complete geometry of a part in each scan.
-
Blue Light Technology: Use of a narrow-band LED projector that guarantees measurement accuracy independent of ambient light.
-
Triple Scan Technology: Combination of two cameras and one projector to capture three views simultaneously, reducing the number of required scans and increasing data quality.
-
Self-Monitoring System: Constant checking of calibration and sensor movements to prevent errors and ensure data integrity.
-
Upgradability and Modularity: Ability for easy lens and sensor exchange without requiring re-calibration.
-
Connection to photogrammetry systems: Expandability with TRITOP (manual) or ATOS Plus (automated) for measuring more complex objects.
-
Full Automation: In the Kinematics line, the possibility for robot integration and execution of repetitive processes in production environments.
