Konica Minolta 3D Digitizer's

Konica Minolta Range 7 3D Scanner

A new era of non-contact 3D scanning & 3d measurement will start with KONICA MINOLTA RANGE7

KONICA MINOLTA RANGE7 noncontact 3D digitizer will open up the possibilities of non-contact 3D measurement by adding further reliability, operability and transportability to Konica Minolta's reliable optical technologies and AF/AE controls.

New function added - Dark surface mode

The dark surface mode function enables 3d scanning for 3d measurement of Objets with reflectance as low as 2.5% without requiring the use of special darkrooms or spraying of the Objet, achieving the industry’s top level low reflectance performance. With the addition of the dark mode function, ultra-low reflectance surfaces (dark Objets) can be measured without being sprayed, 3d measurement inaccuracies caused by uneven thickness of the sprayed layer can be eliminated. Plus, the work involved in pre-measurement surface preparation (spraying) and post-measurement surface cleaning is also no longer necessary, leading to drastic improvements in work efficiency. Reducing the environmental load since spray and cleaning liquids are not used is also an additional benefit of using this new function.

Field-oriented robust design with a high accuracy of ±40 µm and a 1.31 million-pixel sensor!

Utilizing a new 1.31 megapixel CMOS sensor that can detect finely detailed shapes as well as newly designed optics, the RANGE7 achieves the highest level of guaranteed accuracy for a non-contact camera type 3D measurement instrument, with an accuracy of ±40 µm* according to ball bar accuracy testing based on VDI/VDE 2634 guidelines.

In addition, the RANGE7 has been designed with the concept of on-site use, minimizing the influence of instrument tilt, temperature changes, etc. at the time of measurement in order to provide high reliability in actual use environments such as in factories, etc.

Quick two-second scanning and 3D preview function!

Original high-speed processing circuits enable high-speed scanning of approximately 2 seconds per shot. In addition, the RANGE7 is equipped with a 3D preview function that lets users predict the measurement results and check for scan area depth, dead angles, scan problems due to surface conditions, etc. beforehand to greatly reduce scanning mistakes.

Further advanced AF and new measurement algorithm!

TELE and WIDE lenses can be interchanged according to the measurement subject to provide a broad scan range. In addition, the autofocus (AF) function has further advances that only Konica Minolta could provide, with a multifocus mode that automatically shifts the focus position to provide sharp, high-accuracy 3D measurement data and a point AF function that adjusts the focus to the point specified by the user, enabling scanning work to be performed without being concerned with fine positioning of the measurement subject.

Plus, the new sensor and original measurement algorithm provides an expanded dynamic range. Even Objets with gloss, such as metallic surfaces, etc. can be measured.

Compact and lightweight, all-in-one unit weighing less than 15 lbs.

The size and weight of the RANGE7 are both less than 1/2 those of previous models, and the compact, lightweight design enables the camera and controller to be integrated in a single body weighing approximately 15 lbs. to provide high mobility in measurement environments.

In addition, when the optional special stand is used, the RANGE7 can be easily moved about and measurements taken when necessary for stress-free work. (Of course, as with previous models, a tripod can also be used.) Plus, user calibration can be performed with the RANGE7 mounted on the stand.

Konica Minolta Vivid 910 3D Scanner

Now reborn in a more advanced form, offering a host of new solutions.

The VIVID 910 3D Scanner employs laser-beam light sectioning technology to scan workpieces using a slit beam. Light reflected from the workpiece is acquired by a CCD camera, and 3D data is then created by triangulation to determine distance information. The laser beam is scanned using a high-precision galvanometric mirror, and 640 × 480 individual points can be measured per scan. Konica Minolta's unique high-speed image processing chips have been integrated in order to ensure rapid measurement, and this has made it possible to complete measurements in 2.5 seconds (or in as little as 0.3 seconds in FAST mode). In addition to distance data, furthermore, this 3D digitizer can also be used to acquire color image data. Employing a rotating filter to separate the acquired light, the VIVID 910 3D Scanner can create color image data for 640 × 480 points with the same CCD as used for distance data.

Highly Accurate 3D Measurement

A high-precision galvanometric scanner is used together with highly accurate adjustment-chart equipment to ensure high-accuracy calculation of 3D data by the VIVID 910. Furthermore, as a global leader in the field of illuminance meters, luminance meters, and colorimeters, Konica Minolta has put its experience and expertise for measurement devices to full use in the establishment of standard solid charts that are traceable to national standards.

Main Features

The VIVID 910 3D Scanner is Konica Minolta's radically enhanced successor to the VIVID 700 and VIVID 900 non-contact 3D digitizers that set new standards for low cost, camera sensitivity, and convenient operation. When operating in FAST mode, this advanced product requires only 0.3 seconds for data input (approximately twice as fast as the VIVID 900); furthermore, when operating in FINE mode, precision of ± 0.008mm and accuracy of ± 0.10mm can be achieved on the Z-axis. Accordingly, the VIVID 910 will provide you with solutions for a wide range of digitizing tasks. While the development and inspection of all of our measurement devices meet ISO 9000 standards, you can also avail yourself of our test-report issuance*1 and traceability services as a guarantee of the quality of this highly accurate non-contact digitizer. In addition to these services, furthermore, we also replace faulty components free-of-charge and offer regular upgrades for system software, thus ensuring peace-of-mind after the installation of your VIVID 910.

What's more, polygon-editing software is included with this product as a standard accessory. Using this application, you will be able to automatically align and combine a number of 3D data sets acquired from different angles. With the VIVID 910 3D Scanner, even higher levels of precision can be acquired in the alignment of data segments.

Previous technologies could not efficiently acquire data for surface sections containing both light and dark colors in a single operation. But you can now use Dynamic Range Expansion mode - a cutting-edge VIVID 910 technology - to digitize this type of surface with one scan and without the need for additional surface processing.
