LUMISCAN / APPLICATION OVERVIEW

Visual Clamping

CNC · Welding

Measure the workpiece pose and adapt the robot path to the part’s actual position.

Place the part freely on a surface instead of precisely locating it in a dedicated fixture. LumiScan measures its pose and transforms a predefined inspection or processing path to the actual position, supporting faster changeovers and more part variants.

LumiScan Advantages

  • < 1 s Path planning for bumper inspection

    In one bumper inspection application, LumiScan VGR calculated the robot path in under a second. Calculation time depends on the task.

  • 20 min Our fastest application setup

    We configured an application in 20 minutes using ready-made LumiScan apps.

  • ROI Lower upfront costs

    Reuse existing hardware and license only the apps you need. This can shorten payback compared with buying an entirely new cell.

  • 100+ Compatible sensor models

    Choose the sensor that suits your parts, or keep using compatible equipment already in your cell.

  • 30 years Of machine vision engineering experience

    Work one-to-one with our engineers to select the sensor, lighting and inspection sequence for your part.

  • One-Time Installation for multiple tasks

    Add compatible apps to the same LumiScan installation as your cell takes on new tasks. License the apps you add.

Inspect a freely placed part with Teledyne

The Perciva 5D camera captures the workpiece. LumiScan VGR aligns a predefined inspection path to its actual pose, then the cobot guides the Teledyne Z-Trak profiler along that path.

Customer application · Mühlbauer Technologie

Inspection paths for glossy bumpers.

LumiScan X captures painted bumpers. LumiScan VGR identifies their pose and deformation, then adapts the robot path to the actual surface: visual clamping in an industrial inspection system.

Solution packages

Place the workpiece freely, without a dedicated locating fixture. LumiScan VGR measures its pose and aligns a predefined inspection or processing path, reducing fixture changes when switching between variants.

Sensor images show the named devices or family examples.

Software matched to the task
CAD matching in LumiScan VGR establishes the part pose; path transformation adapts the taught task to that pose. A laser profiler or other process sensor is optional, according to the measurement or processing task.
Application limits
Define the visible geometry, placement range and required path accuracy for each part variant. Visual location replaces precise pre-positioning, not any workholding required by process forces; reachability, sensor access and the complete measurement or processing cycle must be checked.

From selection to delivery

Request a configuration

  1. Share your task

    Provide sample parts or images, the process and existing equipment.

  2. Define the setup

    Agree the sensor, processing unit, interfaces and test criteria.

  3. Review the quote

    Confirm software licences, hardware and the agreed engineering scope.

  4. Integrate & verify

    Set up the application, test the agreed sequence and document the handover.

Licences & delivery scope

Buy engineering and runtime licences and vision hardware directly from HD Vision Systems, with training and support. Engineering is used across projects; runtime licence quantities depend on the selected apps and configuration. The quote lists those quantities, software and hardware, plus the agreed integration and support scope and any customer-supplied components.

To specify in the quote: Licence term and activation, exact hardware / OPU model, delivery date, commissioning and training scope.

For the application trial

Agree the inspected features, allowable part positions, taught path and measurement acceptance criteria before the trial.

Package configuration

Choose your setup

Locate a freely placed part, then align the inspection path to its measured pose.

THE TASK IN CONTEXT

From the workpiece to the next process.

  1. 01

    Measure the pose

    Capture the part and register its visible features against a reference.

  2. 02

    Transform the path

    Relate the measured pose to the robot frame and update the taught path.

  3. 03

    Check the result

    Verify alignment at the working points and agree how the cell responds to a missed measurement.

Frequently asked questions

What is visual clamping?

Instead of locating the part precisely in a dedicated fixture, you place it freely on a surface. LumiScan measures its pose and transforms a predefined inspection or processing path to the actual position.

What are the benefits?

Fewer dedicated fixtures, faster changeovers and more part variants on the same cell.

Which hardware does the solution set use?

Two sets: a Teledyne Perciva 5D camera with a Teledyne Z-Trak profiler and LumiScan VGR, or LumiScan X with an AT Sensors profiler and LumiScan VGR.

Where has it been shown?

Together with Teledyne at VISION in Stuttgart: the Perciva 5D captures the workpiece, LumiScan VGR aligns the inspection path to its pose, and a cobot guides the Z-Trak profiler along that path. Mühlbauer Technologie uses the principle for bumper inspection.
