The ATOS sensor head may be positioned on a stand freely in front of the measuring object. For automated measurements, the sensor is used on a robot.

Fringe patterns are projected onto the object's surface with a white light projection and are recorded by two cameras. The system self-dependently checks its calibration and the influence of the ambient conditions.

Within seconds, the software calculates the high-precision 3D coordinates of up to 4 million object points per measurement. In addition to the surface, the system also provides trimming and hole pattern information.

Each additional measurement is transformed fully automatically into a common object coordinate system. Deviations to the CAD may be calculated. The complete 3D data set and the comparison results may be exported into standard formats for further processing.
