3D Scanning Applications with AT Sensors

Previously we’ve introduced AT Sensors‘ 3D scanners, which use triangulation – together with precision optics and embedded algorithms – to build a point cloud representation of 3D objects.

While there are interesting scanning applications in diverse industries, including automotive, food processing, battery production, display inspection, and more, in this piece we focus on the automotive industry. Below we offer a collection of short videos that help to tell the story. Each application utilizes AT Sensors 3D laser profilers.

Inspection of brake discs, for surface defects, duration 1 minute 24 seconds:


Inspection of stamped metal parts, duration 37 seconds:


Inspecting asymmetrical objects, duration 50 seconds:


You don’t have to be in the automotive industry to take advantage of AT Sensors – previously known as Automation Technology – 3D laser scanning! Food processing, display inspection, battery production – indeed all sorts of 3D applications are enabled or enhanced by laser triangulation approaches to building 3D point clouds for a scanned object, and comparing the scan to the idealized perfect object. The difference calculation determines if the test object is within the defined tolerances.
