NavVis specializes in developing next-generation technology that enables accurate mapping of indoor spaces. And given that the wearable NavVis VLX system's accuracy had to compete with terrestrial solutions, the scanner’s sensor positioning would be the designers' top priority.
Many manufacturers in the aerospace, transportation and power generation industry, such as Austrian manufacturer ANDRITZ, require carrying out quality control inspections on large parts that can measure anywhere from 2 to 10 metres—and even bigger.
Measuring surface roughness allows metrologists to establish the roughness of a surface for quality control or other purposes. But how exactly is it done?
Conventional photoelectric sensors used for object detection and distance measurement can struggle with dark, glossy, or irregular targets because they rely on light intensity. Time-of-flight laser sensors overcome these challenges by using distance-based sensing instead.

When manufacturers in the aircraft industry construct jet engines for civil and military aircrafts, they must move a great number of parts and tools from the tooling center to the assembly line, in another building, on a daily basis.
If you speak to anybody from the world of motorsport about engines and transmissions, there is one name that is immediately associated with casting design and rapid prototyping – Grainger & Worrall
In the agri-food sector, the range of treats has been growing for a long time: sweet snacks, chocolate spreads and pastries are becoming more popular all over the world. To produce these delicacies, different kinds of shell nuts are necessary, such as walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts and macadamia nuts.
A coordinate measuring machine, also known as a CMM, is a piece of equipment that measures the geometries of physical objects. CMMs using a probing system to detect discreet points on the surfaces of objects.
The customer decided to automate the process of picking 6 different types of pipe parts from a bin and placing them into a swedging machine. The solution consists of a Staübli TX2-90L robot equipped with a Photoneo PhoXi 3D Scanner.
Obtaining suitable parts for the restoration of their vehicles is sometimes a challenge for fans of vintage cars. Since these parts are usually no longer manufactured and there are often no digital blueprints (CAD) available, which must first be created for a faithful reproduction.
Performing bad inspections and delivering defective parts are scenarios that manufacturing companies want to avoid imperatively. Therefore, they must detect anomalies before they become major defects and they must make corrective actions before defective parts are produced and shipped to customers.
The solution consists of a tailor-made application based on accurate localization and robot-camera calibration. PhoXi 3D Scanner scans the object from two different positions to increase the reliability of measurement and robustness of localization.
What to do when an apartment is infested with pests, when rows of ants march across windowsills and mice have taken refuge in the basement? It is lucky that there are companies out there that can help you with their products.
