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.
  • Error classification using position-specific tolerances, reducing manual judgment errors.
  • Process optimization through measurement data-based root cause analysis, enabling targeted corrections and improved yield.
