AutoScan Inspec2

Shining 3D AutoScan Inspec2 Desktop Metrology 3D Scanner High-Density Overview The Shining 3D AutoScan Inspec2 delivers automated, non-contact 3D measurement with 0.01 mm metrology-grade accuracy and a tight 0.05 mm point distance. Powered by dual 5.0 MP cameras, structured blue LED projection, and a synchronised 3-axis motion system, it eliminates operator-induced variance when digitising small, intricate geometries. Designed for rapid quality inspection, precision reverse engineering, and high-fidelity colour archiving directly on the workshop bench or metrology workstation. Core Engineering Capabilities Sub-Hundredth Millimetre Metrology Accuracy The optical head houses twin 5.0 MP high-resolution sensors paired with narrow-band blue LED structured light. Capturing data down to 0.01 mm (10 µm) accuracy with a fine 0.05 mm point pitch, the Inspec2 resolves micro-grooves, pin pitches, sharp knife-edges, and intricate tooling reliefs that handheld systems miss. Hands-Free 3-Axis Motion Control Complex undercuts and deep cavities require precise optical sightlines. The automated 3-axis turntable tilts and rotates parts dynamically inside the 140 × 90 × 80 mm scanning envelope. One click executes multi-angle trajectory routines without manual repositioning or messy target application. True-to-Life Full-Colour Texture Capture An integrated texture module records RGB surface information alongside dense point clouds. This allows visual defect inspection, wear analysis, cultural artifact archiving, and dental/biological research where colour variance directly correlates to material state. UltraScan AI Automation Suite Operational efficiency is built directly into the native UltraScan software environment: One-Click Automated Calibration: Maintains factory-grade calibration accuracy with minimal user intervention. Multi-Object Scanning: Captures up to 8 separate parts in a single automated batch cycle, drastically cutting inspection cycle times for small-batch manufacturing. AI Intelligent Add-Scan: Automatically detects incomplete data patches or geometric voids and calculates supplementary angles to fill gaps. Flip Scan Workflow: Dual-orientation scanning automatically stitches top and bottom datasets into a single closed watertight mesh via feature recognition. Target Workflows & Industry Applications Electronics & Electrical: High-density verification of connectors, terminals, circuit breakers, micro-switches, and semiconductor housings. Precision Tooling & Injection Moulding: First-article inspection (FAI) and wear tracking of electrode cores, miniature dies, and earphone shells. Jewellery Design & Casting: Rapid digitisation of intricate filigree, prongs, gemstone seats, and wax masters for CAD reproduction.

Technical Specifications Frequently Asked Questions Do I need to apply physical tracking markers to scan parts? No. If the component features geometric diversity, UltraScan relies on high-speed feature alignment. For flat, symmetrical, or low-feature parts, adhesive markers or fixture points can be utilised. What is the maximum practical component volume? The single-scan optical field of view measures 140 × 90 × 80 mm. Parts fitting within this envelope can be rotated across 3 axes for complete, automated point cloud generation. Why choose structured Blue LED light over laser lines for desktop inspection? Blue LED projection passes micro-grating fringe patterns across the entire part surface at once, yielding higher surface point density and cleaner edge definition on small components without manual beam sweeping. Is the generated inspection report certifiable? Yes. SHINING3D Inspect integrates a calculation kernel certified by the PTB (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt), ensuring deviation heatmaps, GD&T reports, and nominal-versus-actual verifications meet international metrological standards.
