From Programming to Reporting — Fully Automated Metrology That Scales With You

ZEISS ScanBox: Hello automated digital twins and inspections. Goodbye bottlenecks.

Production and lab floor proven all-in-one automated 3D scanning solution that empowers you to program, digitize, inspect, and report — all in one seamless workflow.

It delivers high-speed, high-accuracy metrology results designed for real-world production environments - whether you need to measure full vehicle bodies or multiple small intricate parts, or looking for lights out solutions:

  • Automate your inspection processes with repeatable, robot-controlled measurements
  • Accelerate throughput with 50–80% faster measuring times
  • Catch production deviations early with full-field 3D comparisons to CAD
  • Create inspection programs offline using the Virtual Measuring Room (VMR)
  • Generate instant GD&T data, trimming lines, hole locations, and more
  • Simplify operation with minimal training required
  • Scale from small parts to complete assemblies with modular system options
  • Ensure reliable, standardized measurement routines across global plants

Why ZEISS ScanBox?

Here are 5 solid reasons to get started with your demo or proof of concept...

  • Accelerated measuring times

    Accelerated measuring times

    50 – 80 % faster compared to traditional metrology

    While mechanical measuring systems capture data in a point-based or linear manner, the optical 3D measuring machine ZEISS ScanBox provides full-field 3D measurement coordinates. The resulting 3D model can be compared with the CAD model. This allows you to detect deviations and identify defects such as deformations. With ZEISS ScanBox you can measure and inspect your parts 50 to 80 % faster than with traditional methods.

    Your advantage: Faster results and less scrap

  • Easy operation

    Easy operation

    Automated process control at the touch of a button

    ZEISS ScanBox can be programmed and controlled via a simple user interface, the Kiosk Interface. Plan your measurement sequences with just a few clicks and then execute them automatically in the virtual measuring room (VMR) in ZEISS INSPECT. The Smart Teach functionality in the VMR simplifies the creation of robot programs. Your employees do not need any special robot expertise to do this.

    Your advantage: Reliable series inspection, no expert skills required

  • Numerous applications

    Numerous applications

    Large variety of applications – from toys to body-in-white

    ZEISS ScanBox is available in various models for different part sizes and applications. Allround systems are available as well as specialized solutions for specific requirements. The ZEISS ScanBox systems for small parts are compact, while the larger 3D measuring machines can be used in a fixed position for quality assurance in production. They also serve perfectly for tool try-out and product development.

    Your advantage: Customized solutions also for your industry

  • Effective analysis tool

Virtual Measuring Room in ZESS INSPECT

Virtual measuring room in ZEISS Inspect Pro

Real environment in a virtual simulation

The virtual measuring room (VMR) is the central control and measurement planning software for all elements of the optical 3D measuring machines. It represents the real environment in a virtual simulation. The VMR consists of a robot with one sensor, the programming, including the kinematics of the robot paths, the part and the measurement plan. Thanks to the VMR, the user does not need any special robot skills. All robot movements are simulated in the virtual measuring room before execution and checked for safety.
