3D Sensors for High-Precision Automotive Assembly

MotionCam-3D
The only 3D sensor that delivers submillimeter accuracy at 20 fps—even on moving objects. Its patented parallel structured light technology enables real-time, high-resolution scanning without halting production lines.
- 3D scanning of objects moving up to 90mph (144 km/h)
- Real-time inspection of gaps, welds, fasteners
- Reduces cycle times by up to 2 seconds per operation
- In-line quality control of moving components
- Robotic guidance and hand-eye coordination

PhoXi 3D Scanner
The benchmark for scanning large automotive parts, PhoXi offers up to 0,035 mm accuracy with excellent ambient light suppression—ideal for demanding bin-picking applications, underbody components, weld inspection, and final assembly in dynamic environments.
- Scans up to 4 meters in harsh conditions
- Unaffected by welding arcs or sunlight
- Onboard computing for up to 50% faster processing
- Built for industrial environment

Complete 3D Data Capture for Complex Automotive Components with MultiView Scanning
In automotive manufacturing, no detail can be missed. MultiView Scanning ensures complete 3D data capture for even the most challenging parts — enabling faster, more accurate robotic handling, reducing cycle times, and improving first-pass yield across your production lines.
No Part Too Complex: Complete 3D Scanning with MultiView
Boost 3D data completeness for demanding tasks like bin picking, delayering, and digital twin creation. MultiView overcomes challenges with thin, reflective, or irregular parts, ensuring better grasp points, faster cycle times, and higher robotic success rates.

How MultiView Solves Scanning Challenges for Complex and Reflective Parts
By combining multiple scan perspectives, MultiView improves visibility, reduces occlusions, and ensures accurate recognition — even for challenging automotive components like thin metal sheets, reflective surfaces, and self-occluding shapes.
Why is it a game-changer?
- Capture Complex Shapes with Confidence
Easily scan thin, C- or L-shaped metal parts, and components stored in bins with compartments — even those too challenging for single-view systems. - Reveal Hidden Features for Precise Grasping and Assembly
Uncover critical features that might be missed in a single scan, ensuring precise localization and reliable robotic picking or placement. - Overcome Self-Occlusion Challenges
Accurately capture parts that block their own features, minimizing missed detections and boosting pick success rates. - Scan Larger Objects Without Compromising Detail
Seamlessly handle oversized parts that exceed a single field of view, maintaining full 3D data quality across the entire object. - Achieve Higher-Resolution 3D Data
Multi-capture scanning delivers finer detail and better point density, critical for high-precision tasks like bin picking, delayering, and digital twin creation.

How MultiView Works: Flexible Setups for Maximum Performance
MultiView scanning combines multiple perspectives to create a complete, high-detail 3D model of even the most challenging parts.
This can be achieved in two powerful ways:

MultiView: Dual-Scanner Setup
Use two strategically placed 3D scanners to capture different angles simultaneously, minimizing occlusions and capturing essential features that would otherwise be hidden.
By combining multiple angles into a unified, high-quality point cloud, MultiView ensures parts are correctly recognized, reliably picked, and perfectly positioned — even in the most demanding automotive environments.
MultiView: Hand-Eye Scanning with MotionCam-3D
For dynamic applications, MultiView uses a MotionCam-3D mounted on a robot arm to capture a continuous stream of high-resolution 3D data while the robot moves.
This setup is ideal for high-speed, high-mix tasks like picking thin, flexible items from bag racks, or scanning tightly packed, irregularly shaped automotive parts where single-view scanning would miss critical details.
