ShapeGrabber The 3D laser scanning systems in Optical Gaging Products’ (OGP) ShapeGrabber portfolio use a rotary table and a vertically movable laser and camera scan head to capture up to 1.5 million data points per second. They offer metrology-class measurement of complex parts in a variety of colors, textures and finishes, including molded plastics and machined parts. They can be used for manufacturing, quality control, rapid prototyping and reverse-engineering applications.
What’s new? The ShapeGrabber Ai320 and the ShapeGrabber Ai820.
Benefits Scanning for a broader range of part sizes. The new Ai320 is a vertical-axis benchtop system, and its SG108 scan head is designed for smaller parts than the predecessor Ai620 . Meanwhile, the Ai820 is a large-capacity floor model available with an optional horizontal axis, allowing it to scan larger, more intricate parts. All ShapeGrabber models come with SGCentral software, which offers a user-friendly way to configure scan settings, speed and resolution. The system automates the collection of accurate data and provides reports, regardless of the operator’s experience level.
