Colossal cleaning machine

Weighing several tons, this machine for cleaning metal parts would ordinarily take a huge amount of time, effort, and money to ship to potential customers at trade shows. Thanks to the wireless handheld Artec Leo and long-range Ray II, however, this is no longer the case.

Working with Artec Ambassador algona, manufacturer HEMO found digitizing the machinery quick and easy. Equipped with a visual inertial system (VIS) that automatically positions it in a given space, Ray II simplified and accelerated the large-format data capture process. Leo’s flexibility, meanwhile, allowed HEMO to pick up more intricate, obscured details.

As you can see, the resulting model features ordinarily difficult-to-capture areas such as fine wiring, piping, and an electrical box. Artec Studio Smart Fusion also made merging the Leo and Ray II datasets a breeze, while its mesh hole-filling and simplification tools facilitated the tidying and compression of the file, to make it well-rounded and less CPU-intensive.

This model has now been joined by a handful of others in HEMO’s VR simulation, which allows clients to tour a virtual showroom, inspecting each machine up close before deciding whether to make a purchase. Take a closer look at the machinery for yourself to step into the future of industrial data capture and take a sneak peek into HEMO’s virtual world!
