Do you spend too much time Arethebosses, ribs and holes of Is inspection totally dependent on correcting the dies for press parts? plastic parts formed in accordance skilled workers? withtheoriginal design? et 3D digitizer KONICA MINOLTA RANGES can usly digitize the external profiles of various arts, including press parts, machined parts, dies, prototypes, cast parts and injection molded parts, into 3D data. The digitized profile data can then be accurately reproduced on à computer screen. By comparing this data against 3D CAD data with optional application software, you can quickly output measurement reports on overall deviation, cross-sectional deviation, wall thickness distribution and GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerance). This allows increased speed and improved quality in the manufacturing process. In addition to measurement for inspection and quality control, KONICA MINOLTA RANGES offers various applications including: - Reverse engineering - Rapid prototyping - Creation of machining data - Digital mockup KONICA MINOLTA RANGES opens up the future possibilities of non-contact 3D measurement by adding the elements of increased reliability, improved operability and easier transportability to Konica Minolta's accumulated optical technologies and auto-focus function. M Principal applications and measurement targets Quality inspection (confirmation and verification of whether parts are manufactured to specifications) and reverse engineering (quantification of quality and capability of parts, etc.) from development to prototyping phases + Cast and other formed materials + Pressed parts + Injection molded parts + Various machined parts

AONICA MINOLTA RANGES will change the process ofmanufacturing. Problems can be solved by using KONICA MINOLTA RANGE5 and 3D CAD data, without the need for 2D drawings. The direct comparison of 3D scan data against 3D CAD data provides visual and quantitative evaluation of surface distortion and cross-sections of part exteriors, even those with multiple free-form surfaces. By doing this, you can confirm and verify whether parts are manufactured to the design. (D Contour evaluation (2) Cross-section inspection (3) Dimension inspection (GD&T) (4) Report output

Easy-to-carry digitizer with integrated camera and controller The KONICA MINOLTA RANGES is a new 3D digitizer series full of 3D digitizing know-how accumulated from Konica Minolta's over 10 years of experience. The compact and lightweight design integrates the camera and controller in a single body weighing only approximately 6.7 kg, providing high mobility on measurement sites. Various focusing functions for quick capturing of clear 3D data The auto-focus (AF) function implements further advances that only Konica Minolta could provide, to offer a multi-focus mode which automatically shifts the focus position in two steps to obtain more accurate and sharper 3D measurement data. This is especially effective for measurement of deep objects, The ad- justment of distance and angle of view is also easy by using the point AF function which adjusts the focus to the point specified by the user and the Field of View (FOV) indicator which shows the current measurement area. The FOVinhcator shows the current measurement area Annovative performance offered by a next-generation 3D digitizer Full of various types of know-how to enable high-quality 3D data to be obtained quickly and easily. The 3D preview function reduces erro- neous measurements The 3D preview function allows users to predict measurement results quickly. With a pre-scan of only 0.4 seconds, users can check for measurement area depth, dead angles, scan problems due to surface conditions, etc. beforehand to greatly reduce er- roneous measurements.

The newly developed software RANGE VIEWER allows comfortable scanning operations. The software, designed specifically for KONICA MINOLTA RANGE Series, makes the process Capable of measuring dark surfaces with- out using spray or a special darkroom. The RANGES is equipped with a new Dark Surface Mode measurement function"! developed utilizing our original data- processing technology that enables measurements of dark objects (with reflectances as low as 2.5%?2) Since spraying before measurement is not required, measurement inaccuracies caused by uneven spray layer thickness are eliminated, and since spray and cleaning liquids are not used, environmental load is also reduced. Plus, measurements can be taken in a normal office environment #, so there is no need to invest in a special darkroom. #1 Although it has been greatiy improved compare to our previous instruments, there is no guarantee that the RANGES can measure all dark surfaces or metallic gloss surfaces without spraying. Whether or not treatment of the surface prior to measurement is necessary depends on actual use conditions. #2 Reflectance at 660nm excluding specular reflectance.

High operability and a processing ability of approximately 1 minute/cycle on average has been achieved.

User-friendly software with navigation messages "RANGE VIEWER" is newly developed 3D data processing software included as standard. It provides various editing functions from scanning control of the instrument to alignment of measured data and data merging. Easy-to-see icons and a flexible GUI allow scanning and data editing to be done seamlessly. The navigation messages which show instructions or the next step allow beginners to easily and quickly learn operation. RANGE VIEWER supports 64-bit editions of Windows®, enabling large volumes of data to be processed. It also allows quick data transfer to optional application software via IPC {Inter Process Communication) without the need to save files.

Stable scanning with light sectioning method KONICA MINOLTA RANGES employs triangulation by the light sectioning method, using a Class-2 semiconductor laser to sweep the target with laser light. In as little as approximately 2 seconds, a target is scanned with laser light that has passed through a sit, and the reflected light is received by the 1.31-megapixel CMOS sensor that provides high-resolution information. The information is then converted into 3D data using the data for distance to the target calculated based on the triangulation prin- ciple. One scan can obtain up to approximately 1,310,000 points (1,280 x 1,024 points) of 3D coordinate data. Laser hight High reliability with minimized influ- ence from environment conditions The KONICA MINOLTA RANGES has adopted a new optical sys- tem which adjusts focus based on the signal from the image pickup device. It also has an integrated inner base-plate made of CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic). As a result, the KONICA MINOLTA RANGES has achieved a lightweight body, great rigid- ity and high driving accuracy. At the time of measurement, the KONICA MINOLTA RANGES provides high reliability when op- erating in various environments by minimizing the influence of instrument tilt, temperature changes, etc. CFRPbox structure ofering great gidiy and temperature characteristics Toward new horizons for optical 3D digitizers The KONICA MINOLTA RANGES5 boasts high accuracy and reliability.
