After a century of development, conveyors have become one of the important pieces of equipment for bulk material transportation. With the continuous expansion of modern agriculture, industry, transportation and other sectors, and rising requirements for material handling during transportation, such as better economy, reliability and efficiency of material conveying, customers have decided to abandon traditional measurement methods and adopt new scanning and comparison technologies to meet market demands and enhance enterprise competitiveness. They learned that HOLON 3D is China's first manufacturer of handheld 3D scanners, which can quickly and accurately acquire data, conduct comprehensive comparative analysis to verify product qualification, and improve product quality and inspection efficiency.

Practical problems

1. The customer is a manufacturer of belt conveyors. To make the conveyors more stable and reliable, 3D data inspection is performed on the conveyor underframe. The conveyor has numerous holes on its surface and a complex structure.

2. Fixed scanners are inconvenient to operate and low in efficiency. The customer requires a 3D scanner to capture complete high-precision data, efficiently inspect errors in actual machining, and ensure stable and reliable operation.

Equipment used: Handheld 3D Scanner HOLON 771

Adopting full blue laser scanning, it performs well on black-surface objects. It delivers a scanning speed of 1,350,000 measurements per second and can complete scanning within 10 minutes. With a precision up to 0.02 mm, dual industrial cameras, automatic marker point alignment technology, paired with self-developed scanning software, it achieves high scanning accuracy and work efficiency. By comparing with original data, it detects errors in actual machining, meets the customer's scanning requirements, and successfully resolves the problems encountered by the customer.
