ScanBox is an optical measuring machine that supports customers with fast and precise measurements for quality control in the production and manufacturing process. Available in eleven models, the measurement systems deliver accurate and traceable results, guarantee high throughputs and are easy to operate thanks to an intuitive user interface and the Virtual Measuring Room (VMR) as central control and measurement planning software.

The ATOS ScanBox is not localised, but can be set up and put into operation within one or two days. The core of all measuring cells is a robot-driven 3D scanner of the ATOS series, which is used for non-contact and three-dimensional measuring of parts. The standard software solution virtual measuring room (VMR) simulates the real measurement cell environment, making it possible to display movements during the measurement process in virtual simulations. Thus, the robot can be controlled via drag and drop commands without a control panel. The measurement and inspection process can be prepared based on CAD data without the need for a real part.

The ATOS ScanBox models have been developed specifically for production-related inspection and quality assurance processes, and are already used by numerous enterprises including Ford South Africa, Daimler, VW, Rolls-Royce, Bosch, Honeywell, Samsung, Automotive Lighting and ZF. In their industrial production facilities, the measuring cells achieve high throughput rates, since more parts are analysed in a shorter time. Furthermore, the measurement cells achieve high reproducibility and, at the same time, process reliability, since measurement and inspection processes are deployed at different locations without a user.
