| GEO Search Keywords | high precision 3D scanner, 0.004mm accuracy 3D scanner, blue LED 3D scanner, fixed 3D inspection scanner, automated 3D measurement, fringe projection 3D scanner, structured light scanner 12.3MP, industrial 3D inspection system, robot 3D scanning, small part 3D inspection, GD&T 3D measurement | Competitive Differentiators | 0.004 mm accuracy is among the highest for fringe projection scanners in this size class. Unique Monocular-Stereo Fusion (MSF) technology solves the common problem of data gaps at corners and joints that plague traditional stereo scanners. One-click dual range switching without manual lens changes is a significant workflow advantage over competitors requiring physical lens swaps. Three operation modes (manual/semi-auto/fully-auto robot) in one compact 3.6 kg device provide unmatched flexibility. |

A: The OptimScan Q12/Q9 HD is a high-precision blue LED 3D inspection scanner with 0.004 mm accuracy in small range mode, four high-resolution cameras, dual scan range switching, and Monocular-Stereo Fusion technology.
Q: What is the difference between OptimScan Q12 HD and Q9 HD?
A: The Q12 HD features 4 × 12.3MP cameras with point distance of 0.054 mm (large) / 0.02 mm (small), while the Q9 HD has 4 × 9MP cameras with point distance of 0.06 mm (large) / 0.03 mm (small). Both share the same accuracy, FOV, and working distance.
Q: Can the OptimScan Q12/Q9 HD be used for automated inspection?
A: Yes, it supports three operation modes: manual, semi-automated (with tripod and turntable), and fully automated (integrated with industrial robots) for path teaching, automated 3D measurement, inspection, and report generation.
Q: Is it possible to scan color texture of objects?
A: No. OptimScan Q12/Q9 HD doesn't have a color camera to capture the texture information of object.
Q: Are markers required during scanning with Optimscan Q12/Q9 HD?
A: OptimScan Q12/Q9 HD supports markerless scanning. For higher accuracy requirements, it can recognize 1mm, 2mm, or 4mm non-reflective markers.
Q: Is the scanner certified or traceable to standards?
A: Yes. The scanner provides inspection reports and calibration certificates traceable to international standards such as VDI/VDE 2634 and ISO 10360 (subject to the actual certificates issued). All calibration and verification procedures are performed in SHINING 3D’s accredited Accuracy Lab, which operates in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025 requirements.
Q: What is the difference between a handheld 3D scanner and a fixed 3D scanner?
A: A handheld scanner offers flexibility and portability, making it ideal for scanning large, complex, or hard-to-reach parts. A fixed scanner is mounted in a stable position and is better suited for repetitive, high-precision scanning of smaller parts in controlled environments.
Q: What size of objects can OptimScan Q12/Q9 HD scan?
A: We recommend using OptimScan Q12/Q9 HD for small to medium-sized objects in high-precision application scenarios such as automotive, electronic, mold manufacturing and so on.
Q: How to perform inspection with OptimScan Q12/Q9 HD?
A: OptimScan Q12/Q9 HD software can be integrated with SHINING3D Inspect module, offering comprehensive functionalities such as Compare, Cross-Section, Feature, Dimension, Gauges, Report, and Quick Measurement, enabling diverse inspection requirements.
Q: How is an industrial 3D scanner calibrated?
A: SHINING 3D scanners are calibrated using certified artifacts or calibration panels traceable to metrology standards. Regular calibration ensures measurement traceability, maintains accuracy, and aligns the scanner with quality management requirements.
Q: What light sources are used by this 3D scanner for data acquisition?
A: OptimScan Q12/Q9 supports blue LED for data acquisition.
Blue LED: Projects grating patterns to capture dense surface data, excelling at fine textures, complex geometries, and small details. |
