Meaning
Non-contact measurement technology utilizes structured blue light to capture high-resolution three-dimensional coordinates of a physical object. GOM ATOS optical scanning produces a digital twin of complex battery housings or cooling plates for comparison against the master CAD model. This system provides a full-surface inspection rather than just checking a few discrete points.
Coordinate Metrology
Advanced algorithms convert millions of captured points into a detailed mesh that represents the physical part. During gom atos optical scanning, the sensors track the position of the object in 3D space to ensure that all surfaces are covered. This allows for the inspection of deep cavities and fine features that traditional probes cannot reach.
Point Cloud
High density data sets provide a visual map of the deviations between the manufactured part and the design intent. Analysis of the gom atos optical scanning data highlights areas of warping, shrinkage or assembly misalignment. These maps use color coding to show where the material is out of tolerance.
Quality Inspection
Rapid feedback during the launch of a new product helps to identify manufacturing issues before mass production begins. Using gom atos optical scanning for first article inspection reduces the time required to validate a new mold or stamping die. The digital records provide a permanent history of the part’s dimensions.
