Area Scan Portal - Automatic Operation in action

Check out this video to see the Area Scan Portal – Automatic Operation in action! Witness how it quickly and automatically captures orthogonal views of multiple objects and produces true-to-form and true-to-scale contours, ensuring precision and accuracy in every scan.

Reduce contour extraction time by 90 %

The combination of a large working area and automated extraction process significantly reduces contour extraction time by up to 90%. This efficiency is achieved by generating true-to-form images that eliminate perspective errors. As a result, the extracted contours are true-to-form and true-to-scale, eliminating the need for manual adjustments in the ContourTrace. This automation ensures fast and precise contour extraction, streamlining your workflow and enhancing productivity.

Eliminate Perspective Error

Conventional cameras and smartphones often introduce perspective errors. This leads to distorted contours during contour extraction in Contour Trace. The Area Scan Portal in combination with ContourTrace software solves this problem by providing an orthogonal view, eliminating perspective errors. This ensures precise, true-to-scale contour extraction in your contour extraction processes.

True-to-Scale Contours

Elimination of perspective errors ensures that extracted contours will be true-to-scale and will accurately match the actual dimensions of the object.

True-to-Form Contours

Eliminating perspective errors ensures extracted contours will be true-to-form to accurately match the actual shape of the object.

Affordable Alternative to Telecentric Lenses

Telecentric lenses are special optical lenses that maintain a constant magnification regardless of the distance of an object from the lens. Unlike standard lenses, they produce an orthogonal view of an object. However, telecentric lenses are expensive and impractical for scanning large objects, requiring a lens as large as the object itself. Smaller telecentric lenses struggle with depth of field, making them unsuitable for objects with significant height. The Area Scan Portal offers a cost-effective solution that provides high-precision scanning without the limitations and high cost of telecentric lenses, ensuring accurate contour extraction for a variety of object sizes and heights.

Efficient Multi-Object Scanning

The Area Scan Portal has a working area of 600 x 420 mm. This allows multiple objects to be placed and scanned simultaneously. This capability significantly increases efficiency and productivity, enabling faster and more comprehensive contour extraction processes.

Fully Automatic Operation

The Area Scan Portal CT-2DA-600x420 automates contour extraction seamlessly. Place objects inside the portal and start the scan with a simple "Generate Image" button click from a connected PC. Unlike manual systems where the camera must be moved manually over each object, this automated process ensures precise, orthogonal views for faster and more accurate contour extraction.

Workspace 600x420 mm

Capture the contours of objects up to 600x420 mm or place multiple objects on the surface to capture all contours in one shot. The overall dimensions of the area scan portal are LxWxH 900x640x900 mm.

Industrial Camera

The camera we chose has high-resolution capabilities and captures images with exceptional sharpness and precision. With our system, the accuracy of contour extraction reaches an impressive level of +/- 0.1 mm.

Perspective Lens

The selected high-resolution lens has exceptional sharpness and precision, enabling the reliable scanning of objects with complex shapes and heights up to 400 mm while delivering precise contours.

Camera height adjustable

The image resolution as well as the depth of field essentially depend on the camera distance. Therefore, it is possible to adjust the camera height. In the first step, this is done via the adapter to which the camera is attached. If this is not sufficient, the height of the support surface for the objects can also be varied.

Optimal Camera Alignment

The camera axis must be exactly orthogonal to the image surface to be captured. Otherwise, the precision and shape accuracy of the captured contours suffers. To ensure that this can be set precisely, there is a leveling device that makes this possible.

Light shield

To ensure consistent quality, the system is protected from external light sources by a cover. Therefore, image captures are possible at any time under constant conditions.
