100% inline inspection with 3D Technology, at profile speeds up to 43 kHz, and accuracy down to 0.05 mm — these figures show what is possible when 3D sensor technology, robot integration, and image processing work together in a practical way. In a joint application with AT Sensors and LASS Technology, EyeVision helps turn recorded 3D data into clear, repeatable inspection results directly on the production line. The result is an inline inspection solution that combines speed, precision, and reliability in one system.
Inspection directly in the process
In many production environments, it is no longer enough to inspect parts at the end of the line. Quality checks need to happen during the process itself — quickly, reliably, and without slowing production down.
That is exactly the idea behind this application. Together with AT Sensors and LASS Technology, EVT is part of a robot-assisted 3D laser scanning solution for fully automated 100% inline inspection. The aim is simple: deliver stable inspection results without depending on manual checks or operator interpretation.
More than a measurement system
The basis of the application is FlexScan, developed by LASS Technology. According to the partner article, the system started as a dimensional measurement solution and was gradually expanded into a full inline inspection system for geometry inspection, weld seam analysis, and optical component inspection. Different inspection tasks can be combined in one automated process, running continuously without operator intervention.
That is what makes this project so interesting. It is not just about measuring a part accurately once. It is about creating a process that works reliably in everyday production.
Turning 3D data into inspection results
Capturing 3D data is one thing. Turning that data into usable inspection results is another.
In this application, that job is handled by EyeVision. The software evaluates the recorded 3D data and supports different inspection tasks within one workflow. The partner article states that surface and geometry inspection are implemented with standard EyeVision functions, while weld seam inspection is handled with an additional dedicated command.
For EVT, this is an important point. Image processing software has to be powerful, but it also has to stay practical. Users need a solution that can be adapted to real requirements without turning every project into a fully custom development job.
That is exactly where EyeVision fits in.
Three partners, one practical solution
The project brings together three different areas of expertise. AT Sensors provides the 3D sensor technology. LASS Technology is responsible for the robot-assisted integration. EVT contributes the image processing and evaluation with EyeVision.
Each part matters on its own, but the real strength lies in the way they work together. The sensors deliver stable raw data. The robot system brings flexibility and repeatability into the process. EyeVision turns the data into concrete inspection results that can be used directly in production.
Built for real production conditions
A big challenge in this project was the number of variants. Different geometries, different tasks, and different customer requirements all had to be covered within one stable system concept. According to the partner article, the solution is the result of three years of prototyping, one year of application optimization, and more than eight years of ongoing development in system and software design.
That is also what makes it a real success story. This is not a quick prototype or a one-off demonstration. It is the result of long-term development work aimed at building a system that performs reliably in real industrial use.
Strong numbers — but the bigger story is reliability
The technical performance is impressive. AT Sensors describes the use of compact 3D sensors from the 2040 line, including a setup with 43 kHz profile speed for fast inline measurements. Depending on the configuration, the system reaches 0.05 to 0.15 mm accuracy and 0.04 to 0.12 mm repeatability.
Those numbers matter, of course. But in practice, the bigger value is that the inspection process becomes stable and repeatable. And that is exactly what manufacturers need if they want quality assurance to be part of the process, not a separate step after it.
A success story with EyeVision
This application shows very clearly what automated quality assurance can look like when the right technologies come together. Instead of isolated inspection steps, manufacturers get a complete inline solution that fits into the production process and delivers dependable results.
With EyeVision, EVT helps make that possible. The software plays a key role in turning 3D sensor data into structured, repeatable inspection results that can be used directly on the line. Together with the sensor expertise of AT Sensors and the integration know-how of LASS Technology, this creates a solution that goes far beyond pure measurement.
It is a strong example of how 100% inline inspection can work in practice: automated, precise, and reliable — exactly where it matters most.
