What is the SAS System? A comprehensive solution for measurement and quality control.
The SAS system was developed based on the combination of robotics and modern 3D scanning technology. The standard configuration of SAS includes a Han's Cobot integrated with a Scantech K-SCAN 3D scanner, mounted on a mobile table (1200x750x850 mm), to perform measurement and quality inspection tasks. This system is designed for fully automated operation, minimizing human intervention.
Specifically, the SAS system can:
Move flexibly: With a mobile table and the ability to combine multiple scan heads, SAS can inspect parts of various sizes.
Operate independently: The system can automatically program its path and perform the scanning process without an operator, ensuring high consistency.
Core Components of the SAS System
1. The Scanning Device (SCANTECH K-SCAN)
The SCANTECH K-SCAN is a new-generation 3D scanner designed to meet the demands of precise measurement in industrial manufacturing. This device stands out due to its high-speed scanning, absolute accuracy, and flexibility when integrated into an automation system.
Key Features:
Multi-mode scanning: The Scantech 3D scanner can be used in both direct mode and mounted on a Cobot to fully automate the process.
High accuracy: It is certified for quality control according to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standards, ensuring precision and reliability in measurements.
Flexible design: Easily integrates with automation solutions and control software systems like EDAS.
Support for complex parts: Capable of handling complex surfaces, reflective materials, or difficult shapes.
2. The Control Software - ELEVEN DYNAMIC AUTOMATION SUITE (EDAS)
EDAS plays a central role in the SAS system, allowing for intuitive and easy programming and control of the entire inspection process.
Key Features:
Easy programming: Users only need a few clicks to set up scanning and inspection cycles.
Visual simulation: The Cobot's operation is simulated in the software, reducing errors during real-world deployment.
Multi-device integration: Supports connection to various systems, not limited to just scanners or robots.
Production time optimization: Scanning, processing, and data analysis are synchronized, eliminating the need for manual intervention.
3. The Analysis and Reporting Software (Polywork Inspection)
Technical Specifications
With impressive technical specifications, the SAS system meets the most demanding requirements in the industry:
Measurement size: 300 mm x 300 mm x 300 mm
Accuracy: Up to 0.015 mm + 0.030 mm/m
Resolution: 0.010 mm (0.0004 in)
Laser classification: CLASS II (Eye-safe)
Maximum load capacity: 50 kg
Measurement software: Polywork Inspection
Real-World Applications in Automated Manufacturing
Thanks to the combination of a 3D scanner, a collaborative robot, and powerful software, the SAS system can be applied in many industries, such as:
Automotive: Inspecting part dimensions and reducing assembly errors.
Aerospace: Ensuring the accuracy of complex components.
Precision engineering: Measuring small parts with strict requirements.
Benefits of SAS in Modern Manufacturing
Increased Productivity and Efficiency: Automating the inspection process helps businesses accelerate production, reducing quality control time from hours to just minutes.
Guaranteed Product Quality: SAS can compare the 3D scan data of a real product with the original CAD model to quickly detect dimensional or shape deviations and surface defects.
Reverse Engineering Support: For products without technical drawings, SAS can scan them to create an accurate 3D model, making it easier than ever to reproduce or improve the product.
Integration with Industry 4.0: SAS is not just a standalone device but part of a smart manufacturing ecosystem. By automating the inspection process, it helps factories collect continuous and effective product quality data, contributing to a fully automated and optimized production system.
The SAS system from V-Proud is the ideal solution for factories that want to elevate their production processes. By fully automating quality inspection, it not only helps reduce labor costs but also increases production speed, reduces waste, and ensures the final product always meets the highest standards. This is a strategic step for Vietnamese businesses to move further on the global technology map.
