[. . . ] The digitized profile data can then be accurately reproduced on a computer screen. By comparing this data against 3D CAD data with optional application software, you can quickly output measurement reports on overall deviation, cross-sectional deviation, wall thickness distribution and GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerance). This allows increased speed and improved quality in the manufacturing process. In addition to measurement for inspection and quality control, KONICA MINOLTA RANGE5 offers various applications including: · Reverse engineering · Rapid prototyping · Creation of machining data · Digital mockup KONICA MINOLTA RANGE5 opens up the future possibilities of non-contact 3D measurement by adding the elements of increased reliability, improved operability and easier transportability to Konica Minolta's accumulated optical technologies and auto-focus function. Principal applications and measurement targets Quality inspection (confirmation and verification of whether parts are manufactured to specifications) and reverse engineering (quantification of quality and capability of parts, etc. ) from development to prototyping phases · Cast and other formed materials · Pressed parts · Injection molded parts · Various machined parts SOLUTION KONICA MINOLTA RANGE5 will change the process of manufacturing. Problems can be solved by using KONICA MINOLTA RANGE5 and 3D CAD data, without the need for 2D drawings. A The direct comparison of 3D scan data against 3D CAD data provides visual and quantitative evaluation of surface distortion and cross-sections of part exteriors, even those with multiple free-form surfaces. [. . . ] Easy-to-see icons and a flexible GUI allow scanning and data editing to be done seamlessly. The navigation messages which show instructions or the next step allow beginners to easily and quickly learn operation. RANGE VIEWER supports 64-bit editions of Windows®, enabling large volumes of data to be processed. It also allows quick data transfer to optional application software via IPC (Inter Process Communication) without the need to save files. * For detailed specifications, refer to the Operating Environment of RANGE VIEWER in this catalog. Navigation message measurement is not required, measurement inaccuracies caused by uneven spray layer thickness are eliminated, and since spray and cleaning liquids are not used, environmental load is also reduced. Plus, measurements can be taken in a normal office environment*3, so there is no need to invest in a special darkroom. *1 Although it has been greatly improved compare to our previous instruments, there is no guarantee that the RANGE5 can measure all dark surfaces or metallic gloss surfaces without spraying. Whether or not treatment of the surface prior to measurement is necessary depends on actual use conditions. *3 500 lx or less Measurement example using Dark Surface Mode measurement function Measurement subject Measured data 03 Easy operation and high processing ability for reduced total operation time Personal computer (commercial product) The total operation time from the setting of distance and angle of view, through scanning, to data integration is about 35 minutes* to measure Konica Minolta's standard sample from 30 directions. High operability and a processing ability of approximately 1 minute/cycle on average has been achieved. * Measurement using markers (optional accessory). Other conditions are according to Konica Minolta Sensing standards. Measurement procedure with KONICA MINOLTA RANGE5 (measurement using markers) Attach markers so that f ive to ten markers are displayed on the monitor screen during measurement. Perform measurement and check that the markers are displayed on the monitor screen. Position is aligned according to the automatic recognition of three or more matching markers in overlapped images during measurements. Results of the measurement of the entire target are obtained by repeating steps and . WORK FLOW RELIABLE Toward new horizons for optical 3D digitizers A The KONICA MINOLTA RANGE5 boasts high accuracy and reliability. Points Konica Minolta Sensing cannot compromise as a manufacturer of measuring instruments. 01 Stable scanning with light sectioning method 03 High measurement accuracy based on strict inspection standards KONICA MINOLTA RANGE5 employs triangulation by the light sectioning method, using a Class-2 semiconductor laser to sweep the target with laser light. In as little as approximately 2 seconds, a target is scanned with laser light that has passed through a slit, and the reflected light is received by the 1. 31-megapixel CMOS sensor that provides high-resolution information. The information is then converted into 3D data using the data for distance to the target calculated based on the triangulation principle. One scan can obtain up to approximately 1, 310, 000 points (1, 280 x 1, 024 points) of 3D coordinate data. Measurement target Laser light The KONICA MINOLTA RANGE5 has achieved high measurement accuracy*1 of ±80 m*2 in accuracy evaluation using ball bars*3 according to the guidelines in "VDI/VDE 2634*4 Part 2". The testing method utilizing ball bars is planned to be included in a Japanese Industrial Standards proposal related to the testing of optical non-contact coordinate measuring instruments. Ball bars (For RANGE7, 5 ) Konica Minolta performs testing based on "VDI/VDE 2634 Part 2" using ball bars calibrated by the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology of Japan for all KONICA MINOLTA RANGE5 units. We build confidence by clearly indicating the product accuracy and by conducting strict testing for each unit before shipment. CMOS sensor *1 Accuracy: Measuring instrument accuracy expressed as error limits under the defined conditions.
