CUBE-R

The CUBE-R is a high-productivity industrial measuring cell with a modular design that enables infinite configurations—tailored to your part sizes today and scalable for your needs tomorrow. The CUBE-R is also available in three standard, turnkey models—M2™, M3™, and M4™—supporting part sizes of up to 2 m, 3 m, and 4 m, respectively.

The Power of a Turnkey Solution

CUBE-R is a complete, off-the-shelf industrial measuring cell. It is designed to be integrated into the production environment with minimal setup time, providing an all-in-one alternative to traditional CMMs.

Safety and Efficiency Combined

Featuring a full enclosure and integrated safety systems, CUBE-R allows for high-speed robotic scanning while protecting operators. It is the perfect balance of industrial safety and maximum throughput.

High-Volume Inspection

Optimized for parts up to 3 meters, CUBE-R can perform hundreds of measurements per day. Its automated calibration and self-referencing capabilities ensure that the system remains accurate 24/7.

Small Footprint, Big Impact

Despite its capabilities, CUBE-R is designed to maximize floor space. It can be easily relocated within the factory as production needs evolve, offering unmatched flexibility for modern manufacturing.

MetraSCAN 3D-R

The MetraSCAN 3D-R™ is a powerful, innovative series of robot-mounted optical CMM scanners, designed for the shop floor and ready to be integrated into automated quality control processes for at-line inspection in mass production.

Shop-Floor Accuracy at Robotic Speed

MetraSCAN 3D-R brings the power of optical CMM scanning to automation. Mounted on an industrial robot, it delivers laboratory-grade precision (up to 0.025 mm) even in unstable industrial environments.

Blue Laser Technology for Challenging Surfaces

With its 69 laser lines, the MetraSCAN 3D-R captures high-resolution data on dark, shiny, or complex surfaces without any part preparation, ensuring zero downtime for spray coatings.

Massive Measurement Volume

Thanks to the C-Track optical tracker, the system features dynamic referencing, meaning the part and the scanner can move during the process without losing accuracy. This allows for the inspection of large and heavy parts with ease.

Seamless Robot Integration

Compatible with all major industrial robot brands, the MetraSCAN 3D-R is designed for easy integration. Its lightweight and robust design allows for fast movements and optimal reach, even for the most complex part geometries.
