Fast start: Simple parts with GOM Scan 1
When your part isn’t too complex, GOM Scan 1 is a compact, dependable choice for everyday tasks. Setup is straightforward:
1.
Mount the scanner on a standard tripod or a desk stand with a small turntable
2.
Place the part on a turntable between the reference points
3.
Use the workflow assistant to scan the part
The workflow assistant in ZEISS INSPECT guides you step by step through the process. This ensures consistent results, even for less experienced operators.


Detailed parts: Capturing fine features with ATOS Q
For intricate geometries and small features, ATOS Q delivers the required details and accuracy. This 3D scanner is more versatile because of the exchangeable lenses that allow for a wide range of metrology tasks. For small parts, a 50 mm measuring volume with up to 12 megapixels resolution is the right solution.


Pairing ATOS Q with a motorization kit takes your scanning a step further. It makes it easy to capture the part across multiple angles and rotations. For very small parts, placing reference points on the part may not be possible. Instead, place the points on the turntable or use a reference frame. Scanning the part takes just a few minutes, and you’ll have a complete, high-detail dataset.
A practical workflow might look like this:
1.
Place the part on the turntable
2.
To scan complex features, define the number of angles and turns. For example, 2 angles and 8 turns
3.
Scan the top, flip the part, and scan the bottom
Additional software features: Motion Replay, project templates, and Kiosk Mode
Motion Replay enables fast, repeatable scans for recurring parts. The software records all measurement positions and repeats the same scan on subsequent parts at the touch of a button.
Scanning small parts becomes even easier with project templates. These templates include the scanning, inspection and reports. The inspection is fast and reliable and there’s no need for an expert, as it is now done automatically.
Kiosk Mode keeps things simple. Operators simply enter their name and the part’s serial number, and press start. After scanning, the software automatically performs the full inspection. You can then review the generated report and approve or reject the part.
