Scanny3D has designed and developed a double laser spot rotating 3D scanner. It is a patented device, 100% “Made in Italy” that performs a 360 ° scan without contact, at high speed, at very high resolution and in a completely automatic way.
The 3D scanner allows you to digitize and analyze bottles, plastic bottles, containers of any material and shape and various accessories.
The device returns a high fidelity 3D model and the supplied software offers numerous functions designed specifically for the beverage, packaging and bottling sector, among which the possibility of exporting the 3D model as a “solid”, thus ensuring maximum compatibility with the main CAD-CAM software.
The scanner management software contains many features, including: section analysis and measurement; assessment of the centers of gravity; automatic alignment; symmetry calculation; quality check; evaluation of inclination and stability etc.
One of these functions, for example, allows you to obtain and analyze all the sections of the bottle, easily carry out all measurements, evaluate the centroids of the sections, align the 3D model based on the center of gravity or the symmetry of a section and more.
Among these numerous features, one is of particular importance for quality control on bottles. This function allows you to geometrically and numerically evaluate the deformations of a bottle with respect to the “theoretical” model or with respect to a reference bottle.
With this function, the software automatically calculates and displays the ovality of a section of the bottle, the
accuracy of the bottleneck screw, the symmetry of the neck, the inclination (slope) of the bottle with respect to the plane, any deformations in the lateral surface of the bottle, and much more.
The automatic screw control of the bottleneck, among other things, is very important to ensure a perfect closure of the cap.
These geometric evaluations are carried out automatically by the software, which generates both a graphical and numerical report, and it is possible to export the results in various formats (eg Excel) for statistical purposes.
The constant mission of the R&D department is to design systems that are increasingly accurate, reliable but at the same time easy to use for the end customer, thanks to the use of cutting-edge technologies.
