The Atos 5 from GOM is a robust high-speed 3D scanner equipped with modern camera sensors and measurement and projection technology.

Inficon is exhibiting three devices for automated, robot-assisted sniffer leak detection at Control. These include two stand-alone devices: the more cost-effective Protec P3000XL and the more powerful XL3000flex.

The Fraunhofer Vision Alliance will be presenting a selection of current measuring and inspection systems with image processing for quality assurance in production at Control. The institutes will be presenting their respective expertise in this field.

Faro will be presenting mobile measuring arms for quality assurance at Control. The Quantum 8-axis system combines the portable Quantum Faro arm and the ScanArm with a functionally integrated but physically separate eighth axis.

Heidenhain offers measuring devices with a variety of interfaces. The angle measuring modules of the MRP 8000 series combine high-resolution measuring technology with a resilient bearing.

Hahn+Kolb presents new measuring devices from its own Atorn brand. These include solutions for measuring the roughness of surfaces, measuring contours and checking layer thicknesses, dew points and surface profiles.

Sick has introduced the VMS4200 volume measurement system and the associated MID and NTEP-certified VMS5200 variants. This completely redesigned dimensional measurement system opens up new possibilities for the precise measurement and positioning of cubic and irregularly shaped objects on stationary conveyor systems.

Fraunhofer IOF presents a 3D sensor that realizes both real-time data acquisition with low latency and real-time data processing. This means that 3D measurement data is available immediately after image acquisition.

When users want to execute self-created functions on intelligent cameras, they encounter two challenges: On the one hand, they often only have access to proprietary interfaces, which makes it more difficult to process the data in third-party applications, and on the other hand, only a few models offer a high-speed data interface such as GigE Vision.
