In the fields of industrial inspection, intelligent manufacturing, and scientific research, efficient and precise 3D data acquisition and processing have long been key drivers of production efficiency and product quality. The XTOP3D XTOM-STATION automated inspection center—featuring the XTOM-MATRIX 12M (a micron-level precision blue-light 3D scanner) and integrated industrial robots—enables automated 3D measurement. This solution establishes a fully closed-loop workflow encompassing automatic path planning, scanning, inspection, and report generation, offering a domestically developed solution for the automated 3D inspection sector.
The XTOM-STATION automated inspection center is a mobile, standalone measurement solution designed for production environments. By combining 12.3-megapixel high-resolution industrial cameras with the flexibility of robotic systems and advanced automation technology, it meets the industrial need for rapidly establishing standardized quality inspection workflows. Integrating automation, high precision, ease of use, scalability, and comprehensive safety features, it provides a one-stop automated measurement solution for inspecting small- to medium-sized components.
Micron-level precision for rapid capture of component details
Driven by the wave of digitalization, 3D digital technology has emerged as a vital tool for measurement and modeling, increasingly permeating various sectors of industrial manufacturing. The XTOM-STATION automated inspection center is equipped with the XTOM-MATRIX 12M high-precision measuring head, featuring a camera resolution of 12.3 megapixels, a minimum point spacing of 0.023 mm, and peak precision reaching 0.6 microns. It offers three measurement fields of view (400×300 mm, 200×150 mm, and 100×75 mm); by switching between these fields during scanning, the system balances precision and efficiency, enabling comprehensive, "blind-spot-free" 3D scanning of components with complex contours. It is ideally suited for the batch 3D measurement of small-to-medium-sized components, such as stamped parts, injection-molded parts, machined sheet metal components, and die-castings.
An automated, all-in-one solution designed for industrial production environments.
Traditional manual 3D data acquisition methods struggle to standardize scanning angles and processes; the inherent inconsistency of such manual approaches makes it impossible to achieve the high-volume, efficient quality inspection required by standardized, high-throughput production lines.
The XTOM-STATION automated inspection center directly addresses the pain points of traditional metrology—namely, long processing times, the risk of missing details, and complex setup. By replacing manual labor with automated, high-precision, full-coverage 3D scanning technology, it integrates the entire workflow—scanning, inspection, and report generation—into a single automated system. It is ideally suited for high-throughput 3D inspection, meeting the modern industrial demand for rapid and efficient quality control.
Powered by integrated software for greater efficiency and ease of use
The automation software suite of the XTOM-STATION automated inspection center comprises XTOM 3D scanning software, X-INSPECT 3D inspection and analysis software, and automation control programs—all independently developed by XTOM 3D. The XTOM scanning software controls the 3D scanner to capture high-precision 3D surface data and process meshes for the parts under inspection, ultimately outputting 3D data models.
The X-INSPECT 3D inspection and analysis software compares the captured 3D data models against imported CAD models or the average of multiple scans using various alignment methods. It performs comprehensive annotation, dimensioning, GD&T analysis, and measurement evaluation on the comparison results, generating detailed inspection reports.
The automation control program is primarily used for motion control of robotic arms and rotary tables, control of 3D scanning and data acquisition, and data processing. The XTOM-STATION automation software integrates all these functions, enabling automated inspection operations within a single system. It facilitates automatic path planning, scanning, and inspection—eliminating the need for manual intervention throughout the process and saving time, effort, and worry.
Safe, user-friendly, and tailored for industrial production environments
Regarding safety, the XTOM-STATION automated inspection center features an enclosed housing and a sliding safety door to prevent personnel from accidentally entering the robotic arm's operating range; it is also equipped with an emergency stop switch, allowing operators to halt equipment operation instantly with a single action.
In terms of ease of use, the XTOM-STATION utilizes an integrated design that combines the robotic arm, turntable, and 3D scanner onto a single platform, making it mobile enough to be deployed directly on production lines for automated inspection.
Regarding reliability, the XTOM-STATION adheres to rigorous mechanical and electrical design standards, ensuring structural stability and strong interference resistance. It features high-performance core components and robust thermal management, delivering high-precision measurement results even in demanding workshop environments.
The hardware employs a modular design that facilitates rapid troubleshooting and makes maintenance and repairs highly convenient. To support user customization, the system includes reserved mechanical interfaces, allowing users to design their own fixtures and loading/unloading mechanisms. Communication interfaces are also provided, enabling data exchange and command transmission via a network.
The launch of the XTOM-STATION automated inspection center—featuring integrated intelligence, a modular hardware architecture, and traceable metrological accuracy—establishes a closed-loop workflow encompassing automated 3D scanning, inspection, and report generation. By significantly enhancing inspection efficiency and precision, it provides robust technical support for the digital transformation of the manufacturing sector. Moving forward, XTOP3D remains committed to the R&D and innovation of 3D optical measurement technologies, delivering high-precision, full-dimensional, automated 3D industrial inspection products and solutions to drive the digital transformation and high-quality development of the manufacturing industry.
