The Opto-TOP HE 3D white light scanning system uses fringe projection technology to provide a fast and extensive capture of complex surfaces.  This approach allows the simultaneous measurement of a large portion of the object in a single view.

...
 

Well over a million points can be captured in each image. Each of these scans takes less than one second with the Breuckmann Opto-TOP HE digitizing system.  The equipment is extremely portable and does not require the use of a mechanical positioning device.

  Fast 3D Scanning of mold cavities and dies.
 

The Opto-TOP HE is designed to allow a quick change of lens objectives or the carbon fiber tube which connects the patented Miniature Projection Technique projector and the camera.  This provides a flexible system capable of measuring very small or very large objects.

 

Large scale digitizing of test track surface contours.

The standard model ranges provide a Field of View that will measure a rectangular patch from 30mm diagonal to 750mm diagonal length.  Custom models are produced that will provide a diagonal measurement of up to 2.5 meters in size.

 
 

Data from multiple views is combined using a surface match function. High accuracy scans can be created over large areas by combining white light scanning with photogrammetry or laser tracker measurements.  A fully integrated link is available to the Aicon DPA-Pro system.  Measured data can be easily transformed into a reference coordinate system.  Intelligent data reduction permits extraction of feature lines and edges as well as calculation of theoretical edges.

 
       
 

What is the OptoTOP-HE 3D-Digitization System?

   
 

The OptoTOP-HE 3D-Digitization System is an extremely rapid 3D scanning system that delivers high accuracy point cloud measurements. Over 1,000,000 points are acquired in less than one second. The scanner field of view has an image diagonal of between 25mm (1”) and 1.3 m (51”) and the accuracy of the individual measured points is up to 0.015mm or 0.0005” depending on the system configuration. At the heart of the TOP-HE 3D-Digitization System is the powerful, yet user friendly and flexible, OPTOCAT data acquisition and analysis software suite which, in addition to providing a complete range of metrology functions, allows for the alignment of overlapping point clouds so that the system can be used to measure large parts.

Why invest in OptoTOP-HE?

   
 

The OptoTOP-HE offers the following advantages over other surface data acquisition systems:

bullet

High Quality Data. The system excels at providing high quality data on a variety of surfaces and in challenging environments.

bullet

Speed. The patented Miniature Projections Technique allows for rapid data acquisition (over 1,000,000 points per second) 

bullet

Accuracy. The exceptional quality of the integrated digital camera and lens, the projector and lens, the thermal stability of the carbon fiber mechanical base bar, and the sophistication of system software ensure the highest accuracies, up to 0.015 mm  (0.0005”) depending on system configuration.

bullet

Highly portable and very low weight. The entire Opto TOP-HE system including measuring head, supporting tripod, and controlling (laptop) computer may be easily transported by a single user. The measuring head, consisting of the camera and projector units and the carbon fiber sensor bar, weighs less than 2.5 kilograms (6 pounds) which makes it light enough to be supported on a portable photographic-type tripod.

bullet

Minimal setup time. System calibration, when required for the highest accuracy applications, takes only a couple of minutes to perform.

bullet

Flexibility. Large parts, several tens of feet long, can be measured by acquiring multiple overlapping point clouds. These point clouds can be easily combined using the powerful 3D-ALIGNMENT module of the OPTOCAT software. For large parts or where the surface has few defining shape characteristics, the OptoTOP-HE may be used in conjunction with the Aicon DPA Pro photogrammetry system.  Scanners may be combined with CMM's or robots for automated solutions.

bullet

Highly configurable. All OptoTOP-HE systems share the same camera, projector and lenses,  but differ in the length of the carbon fiber bar onto which the camera and projector units mount, and for some units, the angle adaptors that determine the triangulation angle of the system. Therefore, you may have your system converted to make it suitable for  measuring a larger or smaller field of view if your needs change in the future.  A selection of lens objectives further enhances the ability to customize the system

What does the Opto TOP-HE system consist of?

   
 

 The OptoTOP-HE consists of the following components:

bullet

Digitizing Unit. The light and portable measuring head comprises a high resolution digital camera and a patented projection unit both equipped with high quality lenses. These two units are mounted on either end of a carbon fiber sensor bar.  The sensor bar also contains a laser positioning guide to define the center of the optimal measuring depth of field.

bullet

Controlling Computer. The system is configured with a laptop or desktop computer. The connection between the measuring head and the computer is by means of a IEEE 1394 (FirewireŇ) interface, which ensures rapid data throughput combined with exceptional system stability.

bullet

Controlling Software. The OPTOCAT software simplifies the collection and merging of data. Programmable function keys and a powerful macro language ensure that it is also suitable for demanding engineering analysis.

 

High accuracy inspection of contoured surfaces.

 

 

   
 

What is Opto TOP-HE’s accuracy?

   
 

The accuracy of the Opto TOP-HE system is up to 0.015 millimeter or 0.0005” depending on system configuration. Generally accuracy decreases as the size of the measuring footprint increases. For example, Model HE-50 with a measurement footprint diagonal field of view of  25 mm (2”) provides the accuracy quoted above. Model HE-550 with a diagonal field of view of 700 mm (27”) provides an accuracy of  0.050mm (0.002”).

 
 

 

  Non contact measurement of sensitive objects and historical artifacts.
 

How does the Opto TOP-HE work?

   
  The Opto TOP-HE consists of a light projector and digital camera rigidly attached to either end of a composite bar.
 
 

Generate files compatible with a variety of outputs including polygonized mesh and STL.

 

The patented Miniature Projection Technique (MPT) projects patterns of light onto the part being measured in rapid sequence. The digital camera records these patterns and the images are then processed by a combined Gray Code/Phase shift technique to compute a dense cloud of three dimensional coordinates for the surface of the part being measured. The entire sequence is completed in a few seconds.

Who uses Opto TOP-HE?

   
 

The OptoTOP-HE system is extremely flexible and provides a measurement solution for a large number of applications. Some of the more common uses include:

bullet

Aerospace and Automotive industries. Applications include the comparison of parts and molds with CAD data, deformation analysis, and the quantification of part surface imperfections such as dents, bulges, notches, and ripples.

   

 
bullet

Art and Cultural Heritage. Breuckmann scanners have been selected to measure for archival and web distribution purposes many treasures such as the large sculptures “Thinking Man” and “Eve” by Auguste Rodin, hieroglyphic scripts on stone.

 
 
bullet

Design Studios.  The OptoTOP HE is an excellent tool for capturing 3D designs so that they can be converted to CAD models.

  Highly portable system requires no mechanical positioning.
