Zeiss Blue Light Scanner Accelerates Part Digitization
PMTS 2025: The ATOS Q blue-light 3D scanner combines high-tech electronics and optics with robust design and software to provide high-precision measurement results across diverse applications.
Zeiss Industrial Quality Solutions showcases its ATOS Q blue-light 3D scanner, a compact 3D scanner that acquires high-definition and precise, 3D scans of various objects ranging from small to medium-sized parts across diverse industries. It features interchangeable measuring lenses and a compact design for added portability.
The ATOS Q can be used throughout product development, quality control, near-line and in-line production to accurately obtain a digital twin of parts, components, assemblies, tooling and molds. The scanner can be used accelerate digitalization in diverse industries including medical, new energy vehicles/automotive, aerospace, power generation and electronics. Whether the object material is cast, metal formed or injection molded, the ATOS Q captures millions of accurate points through quick scans to create a high-definition file with intricate feature detail.
Designed for industrial use, the ATOS Q is engineered with 8 million or 12 million points per scan (PPS), a bright blue LED light equalizer and Triple Scan technology, reducing the number of individual scans needed and accelerating measurement time, even on complex parts. Its compact design makes it well suited for dimensional inspection, reverse engineering, rapid prototyping, CFD/finite element analysis (FEA), digital assembly and other manufacturing processes. It also features a fiber-optic connection to enable rapid data transmission, an intelligent self-monitoring calibration system and active temperature management.
The sensor can be configured with a tripod, industrial camera stand, desktop stand or fully automated with the Zeiss ScanCobot or Zeiss ScanBox Series 4 automated measurement cell options. It is also easily integrated with rotation tables or the tilt and swivel for semi-automated applications. Catering to various measurement requirements, it has five interchangeable measuring volumes from 100 × 70 mm2 to 500 × 370 mm2. The ATOS Q is designed to meet high metrological requirements and is supported by the latest Zeiss Inspect Optical 3D software.
