Randburg-based company can supply systems for 3D coordinate measuring

October 2017 News

Through Wenglor’s recent acquisition of ShapeDrive, Randburg-based ASSTech can now also supply components and systems in the field of 3D coordinate measuring technology, with a focus on industrial, scientific and medical applications.

Wenglor is an exclusive supplier of automation sensors as well as safety and camera systems with state-of-the-art communications standards. The German manufacturer services more than 55 000 customers in 45 countries. The takeover of ShapeDrive enhances its portfolio of camera-based sensors and 2D/3D imaging sensors.

Technically, the new camera systems from ShapeDrive work on the projection of structured light patterns. The pixel sensors with various resolutions, working distances, measuring volumes and dot pitches create 3D clouds by means of light from which object sections can be quantitatively evaluated or reference model comparisons can be generated. These systems offer high levels of precision, a comprehensive software package and numerous interfaces.

The research and development and manufacturing functions have been integrated into Wenglor’s headquarters on Lake Constance in Tettnang, Germany.
