VCANUS Custom Robotic Measurement Solutions

1. Robot-Mounted 3D Scanning

1) Flexible Automation:

• Mount ATOS scanners on 6-axis robots or cobots for adaptive scanning of complex parts.
• Custom fixturing ensures repeatable positioning and full coverage of part surfaces. 2) VURT-X Integration:
• Automated path planning for optimal scan coverage.
• Collision avoidance and adaptive scanning for varying part geometries.

  Use Cases:

  • Automotive: Body panels, chassis components, and assembly verification.
  • Aerospace: Airfoils, structural components, and tooling validation.
  • Energy: Turbine blades, impellers, and large fabricated parts.

2. AI & Statistical Analysis Software

VCANUS provides advanced software tools to transform raw 3D data into actionable insights:

1) Tolerance-Based Classification:

• Apply production-specific tolerances to automatically classify parts as within/outside control limits.
• Generate pass/fail reports based on positional tolerances (e.g., GD&T). 2) Statistical Process Control (SPC):
• Track dimensional variations over time to detect trends, shifts, or drifts.
• Correlate measurement data with process parameters (e.g., temperature, pressure) to identify root causes. 3) AI-Powered Anomaly Detection:
• Use machine learning models to detect unexpected patterns in measurement data.
• Predict potential issues before they affect production quality.

  Example Workflow (Automotive Mass Production):

  • Scan: Robot-mounted ATOS captures 3D data of a car body panel.
  • Align: Software aligns scan data to CAD nominals.
  • Analyze:
    • Compare measurements against management tolerances (e.g., ±0.2 mm for critical features).
    • Apply statistical models to assess process stability.
  • Report:
    • Automated reports highlight areas exceeding tolerances.
    • Dashboards visualize trends and deviations for process engineers.
  • Act:
    • Adjust production parameters (e.g., fixture settings, machining paths) based on data.

3. Turnkey Robotic Measurement Cells

• ScanCell Solutions: Pre-engineered robotic cells with ATOS scanners, VURT-X, and safety systems for plug-and-play deployment.
• Inline Measurement: Integrate 3D scanning into production lines for real-time dimensional analysis.
• Portable Systems: Mobile scanning setups for large or immovable parts (e.g., vehicle frames, ship hulls).

Success Stories

Automotive Mass Production:

• 100% digital measurement of body panels in a high-volume production line.
