800-688-3234

at-line inspection quality control

Bring inspection as close to the part as possible with the the Creaform R-Series. Featuring the MetraSCAN 3D-R, a powerful robot-mounted optical scanner, and the CUBE-R, a safety enclosure and component system.

MetraSCAN3d-R

The MetraSCAN3D-R BLACK™ Ι Elite incorporates 45 laser lines for fast data acquisition times.

Perfect for components with:

lots of geometries,
varying types of materials and finishes
big castings
large automotive and heavy industries parts or any other complex components or assemblies.

Based on the same high-performance technology, the BLACK | Elite HD offers increased performance levels for difficult parts like sheet metal.

minimal human involvement

The R-Series is designed to perform data acquisition and previous data analysis simultaneously for continuous operations. With the simple user interface and autocalibration kit, you have all the tools needed for applications requiring no human involvement.

Get Metrology-grade measurements with the Creaform R-Series from GoEngineer.

reliable Accuracy

Achieve accuracy of up to 0.064 MM in real life shop floor conditions for parts from .3-10 m. Thanks to the C-Track optical tracker that enables dynamic referencing, both the 3D scanner and the part can move during inspection, maintaining part alignment as well as measurement accuracy and reliability.

fast measurement Speed

Up to 3,000,000 measurements per second for short cycle times, the R-Series delivers fast measurement speeds regardless of surfaces, trims, and geometric features.

Setup is simple with the Creaform HandyPROBE from GoEngineer.

Will my part fit?

The Cube-R can accomodate any part that can fit through the door opening, which is 3.1 m wide. The platform can hold parts up to 3000lbs in weight.

How accurate is it?

Scans are accurate up to 78 microns.

What are the safety mechanisms?

The Creaform R-Series Cube-R garage door has a safety stop to avoid collisions. Floor sensors insure that the garage door will not close, and the arm will not move while operators are inside of the enclosure. Emergency stops are found on the brake, teach pendant, and on the Cube itself.

How long will it take to program my part?

For the average part, it will take 1-1.5 hours. Once you have the initial setup, that program is saved and you can easily make upgrades or modifications in less time.
