Benchtop Horizontal Vision Inspection System

Improve Your Product Inspection

Automated 3D Scanning & Defect Analysis

The Benchtop Horizontal Inspection System is a compact, fully automated 3D scanner for precision dimensional and surface analysis. Using laser triangulation and belt-drive motion, it captures depth profiles and reflectivity data to measure caliper dimensions, and surface features with 0.1 mm resolution.

Scans parts up to 150 mm × 750 mm × 180 mm at 15 mm/s and can be expanded.
Non contact 3D profilometry and surface integrity analysis.
Custom fixtures and barcode triggered recipes for repeatable operation
Ideal for QA labs, R&D, and low to medium volume production.
Custom developed and built in-house here in the US.
Data remains on-premise without relaince on 3rd party APIs or cloud systems.

What this System Inspects

Designed for elongated parts requiring detailed 3D surface mapping in a controlled benchtop environment.

Typical applications include:

Metal or plastic extrusions, profiles, and moldings.
Long machined or formed components with surface treatment requirements.
Industrial parts where surface uniformity and dimensional stability matter.

Custom fixtures ensure precise, repeatable positioning for consistent scan results across part fam

How the Inspection System Works

Test parts are loaded into a custom fixture, the model is selected from a touchscreen menu, and a barcode scan automatically launches the programmed scan sequence.

A laser triangulation sensor captures depth and surface reflectivity data as a belt‑drive linear stage translates it across the part at 15 mm/s.
Digital encoder triggers precise line acquisitions, building complete 3D datasets.
Software immediately processes depth and reflectivity data into actionable metrics.
Results display on‑screen while full datasets save to disk for archiving and review.

This workflow delivers turnkey automation with minimal operator training required.

Key Inspection and Measurement Capabilities

The system generates quantitative 3D data optimized for surface analysis and dimensional verification.

Core outputs include:

Non‑contact caliper measurements (width, thickness, length).
Depth profilometry to map surface contours and deviations.
Surface defect area calculations from reflectivity drop‑outs.
Custom part‑specific metrics tailored to your tolerances and quality criteria.

Analysis software combines both depth and reflectivity datasets for comprehensive surface evaluation.
