The PRESTO system is a modular robotics and automation system that streamlines quality control in the
manufacturing process. By mounting a non-contact scanner on a robotic arm and tracking it with a laser
tracker, it fully automates the process from measurement to the output of result reports. While conventional
contact-based measuring instruments only acquire point and line data, the line-laser scanner quickly and
accurately captures the surface shape as 3D data without touching the object. By leveraging this 3D data,
the system solves various challenges in the manufacturing process and accelerates our customers’
manufacturing productivity.
Key features for Robotics and automation
Modularity and scalability
The PRESTO system is available in three packages—M, L, and XL—each employing a modular system that allows
for specifications to be modified by combining different units. For example, changes can be made, such as
whether the tracker is fixed or has a lifting mechanism, the position of the tracker rail (left or right),
and the inclusion of a turntable. This enables flexible adaptation to meet various customer needs. When
considering future cell expansion, the system can be upgraded by adding components, rather than requiring a
complete replacement.
Fast and high-quality scanning data capturing
The AS1 scanner can acquire up to 1.2 million data points per second at a line frequency of 300 Hz. The ultra-high-speed, high-density 3D data it captures is of exceptional quality, and the scanner is renowned for its outstanding accuracy in extracting features such as holes and edges—a hallmark of the line laser method.
In addition, typical automotive press and assembly parts can be measured within just a few minutes, while even a white body can be measured in as little as 30 to 60 minutes.
Spray-free measurement even on glossy surfaces
With our innovative SHINE – Systematic High-Intelligence Noise Elimination- technology, stable measurement of various surfaces is possible. From glossy black plastic automotive body parts to molded carbon fiber components, it provides clean, noise-free data completely without the need for spraying.
Target marker-less measurement for less worker load
In camera-based measurement systems, it is typically necessary to attach target markers to the object or set up a pre-prepared marker frame around it in order to combine multiple sets of measurement data and maintain accuracy. However, data is often missing from areas where markers are attached, and the process of attaching and removing markers is commonly cited as a bottleneck.
By using a laser tracker, it is possible to acquire scan data while maintaining a consistent global coordinate system, enabling completely marker-less measurement. This eliminates the need for time-consuming marker preparation—previously a bottleneck—and ensures there is no risk of missing data due to marker placement.
