Point Clouds at the Speed of Light

ZEISS LineScan

Optical sensor for capturing
surface of forms

ZEISS LineScan is the tool of choice when capturing the entire surface of forms using point clouds – whether for a comparison with available nominal CAD data sets or for the creation of a new CAD model.

 

At a glance:

  • High speed and comprehensive surface detection increase productivity
  • Large sensor selection with different measuring ranges and accuracies for a wide range of applications
  • ZEISS LineScan 2-8 is the world's most precise line scanner on CMMs and ensures outstanding measurement results
  • Powerful software integration in ZEISS CALYPSO - for a standardized uniform, easy-to-use user interface

ZEISS LineScan

Benefits

Greater productivity
The sensor ensures the swift, complete capture of the surface structure and a high point density, making it possible to reduce the measuring time by up to 70%. This increases productivity considerably.

Trust in measurement data
Users trust their measurement results because of accurate, high resolution images. This reduces iterations, resulting in lower part costs and higher machine productivity through reduced measurement time.

Flexibility
The bespoke sensors for particular applications assist the operator by simplifying the measurement strategy. Invest only in the sensor that best fits the application.

Exceptional user-friendliness
No change in how users work: the assessments are displayed together with the standard geometry evaluations in the report. Users gain a wider range of measurement possibilities with ZEISS CALYPSO.

Body volume analysis for electric motors

Applications in electromobility are one example of the use of the of the ZEISS LineScan optical sensor. The external dimensions of the stator are a decisive factor for its mounting in the electric motor the electric motor housing. The position of the connecting flange and of the shaft require measurement in relation to the gear position.
