SmartScan VR800

Get the full picture | Focus on what matters

The structured light scanner designed for workflow efficiency, built on optical zoom projection and dual stereo cameras.

Want to get really into the details?

With the groundbreaking ability to adjust data resolution and measurement volume entirely through software settings, the SmartScan VR800 is something entirely new in the world of structured light scanning. These functions can be applied in a variety of workflows, but what they all have in common is the capacity to revolutionise the productivity of optical 3D scanning quality inspection.

Thanks to four separate camera units and a mechanical zoom projector, the VR800 has a unique variable resolution and coverage functionality. This allows the level of detail and the size of measurement volume to be selected and seamlessly adjusted within the inspection software in a matter of only seconds, with no need for exchanging optics or recalibration.

The VR800’s multi-camera setup delivers unprecedented new workflow opportunities that simplify the business of measuring with an optical 3D scanner. The ability to combine different resolutions into a single project with near simultaneous data capture has benefits both in terms of speed of data capture and in processing and analysis.

As inspection devices have become more and more powerful, the processing of inspection data has become more and more challenging, demanding significant computing resources. With the VR800, the user can define exactly which parts of the inspection object matter most and focus high-resolution scanning solely on those areas. Even scan overlaps are dispensed with thanks for simultaneous alignment image capture.

The unique software functions that power the VR800

Smart Resolution

SmartScan VR800 - Smart Resolution

The VR800 Smart Resolution function allows the user to change the data resolution while maintaining a constant measurement volume.

The user can switch in software between six different settings and combine data in a single project.

Three resolution options are available for each pair of cameras (5, 12 and 20 MP), delivering an X,Y resolution range of between 238 and 49 microns.

Smart Zoom

The VR800 Smart Zoom function allows the user to adjust the measurement volume and resolution of the scanner while maintaining 5 million data points for high-speed processing.

There are six measurement volume options – three for each camera pair. The largest has a diagonal of 800 millimetres, the smallest 160 millimetres – changing between them delivers an X,Y resolution improvement from 238 to 49 microns.

Smart Snap

SmartScan VR800 - Smart Snap

The VR800 Smart Snap function puts the multi-camera setup to work in a different way that uses all four digital camera units to simultaneously collect both scan and orientation data. Target positions placed outside of the 3D scan area are snapped with support of an LED flash and used for orientation of the 3D scan data collected by the inner camera pair.

This combination significantly reduces the number of targets required, increases the target measurement volume and at the same time speeds up the whole scanning workflow.

Features and benefits

Focused measurement
Multi-camera processing allows for near-simultaneous measurement data and part orientation capture with Smart Snap, massively reducing data weight and processing times when merging scans.

Variable resolution
Vary the measurement area and resolution of each camera pair in a matter of seconds thanks to the digital projector’s mechcanical zoom lens.

Robust construction
Custom carbon fibre frame delivers unmatched measurement stability and reliable results in shop floor conditions.

Smart workflows
Change the data resolution across a constant measurement volume with Smart Resolution to get more detail where it matters most.Adapt measurement volume and resolution while maintaining 5 million data points with Smart Zoom ensure high-speed data processing.

Ergonomic design
Compact design protects optics while embedded controller and convenient handle allow for easy repositioning.

Best-in-class accuracy
SmartScan VR800 offers unmatched accuracy values in its class. Each scanner passes our acceptance test based on VDI/VDE2634 Part 3 before delivered to the customer.

Automation ready
Ready for fully automated robotic inspection thanks to rigid design and high-speed measurement.

Quick setup
Fast warm-up, integrated controller, no interchangeable lenses and a single-position calibration check process make it simple to get right into measurement.

Multi-camera setup
Dual stereo camera setup with four 20 MP cameras end the hassle of changing lenses for different resolutions and fields of view.

Photogrammetry add-on
Combine the scanner with a DPA add-on camera system to extend the measurement volume for the measurement of larger parts.
