Measurement of components at TÜV AUSTRIA

"After testing several measuring systems in real conditions, we decided on HandySCAN 3D."

Almost every company currently owns measuring devices or orders measurements as a service. In the past, our company TÜV AUSTRIA AUTOMOTIVE used devices to measure brake lining contours, but these devices severely limited our measurement capabilities.

We wanted to have a device that would not only be affordable, but also help us expand the services we offer in the future. We expected the device to improve the quality of measurements and reduce the error rate. Another important criterion was the difficulty of handling the device and user-friendliness.

We decided on the hand-held 3D scanner HandySCAN3D from the Canadian company CREAFORM. The basic requirements were met: dimensional control use, product analysis, end product analysis and reverse engineering use. Thanks to the HandySCAN 3D laser technology, it is possible to scan glossy surfaces without spraying with chalk spray. The maintenance/support offered by CREAFORM (eg spare equipment in case of an accident) made our decision easier. The accuracy of this 3D scanner played a big role in choosing the HandySCAN 3D scanner. We plan to use it for other projects in the future.
