HEXAGON, a Sweden-based company specializing in measurement solutions for smart manufacturing, participated in SIMTOS 2024 and showcased a number of automated inspection solutions, including a new structured light scanner, demonstrating its presence as a leading company in 3D precision measuring equipment.

Hexagon participated in Simtos 2024, held at KINTEX Ilsan from the 1st to the 5th. Hexagon, which set up a booth in Hall A of Exhibition Hall 1, displayed a variety of products at this exhibition, including two new products and new models, as well as an automatic and autonomous measurement system capable of 24-hour unmanned measurement that has been well-received in existing manufacturing sites.

One of the main exhibits, an expensive, automatic and autonomous measurement system capable of 24-hour unmanned measurement 'without a measurement room', was developed in collaboration with 'Syscon', a domestic factory automation specialist.

By automating and autonomizing the existing manual measurement system operated by workers, automatic and autonomous measurement is possible simply by securing a space to measure products without building an expensive dedicated 'measurement room'.

In addition, it provides an autonomous measurement environment that can be operated unmanned, enabling autonomous measurements even outside of working hours without the need for workers to operate the measurement room. In addition, it can measure multiple products with a single system, dramatically reducing costs and improving efficiency and productivity.

The development of the new system, which can be used in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, mold and heavy industry that produce finished vehicles and parts, will use Syscon’s AMR and Hexagon’s integrated laser tracker for large volume measurements, the Leica Absolute Tracker AT960, and the Absolute Scanner AS1 3D laser scanner.


3D measuring machine Global S Also on display is the installable HP-L-10.10 LITE laser scanning sensor.

The cost-effective HP-L-10.10 LITE laser scanner can accurately measure a variety of surfaces, including difficult-to-measure matte finishes and highly reflective finishes.

For 3D laser scanners, we present the Absolute Scanner AS1-XL, which combines a wide scan line and standoff, fast measurement speed and advanced SHINE technology for intelligent data processing.

It can be easily attached/detached to the Absolute Arm, a multi-joint measuring device that is a mobile measuring device, and can efficiently perform non-contact measurement of a wide surface.

In the production software section, the company will present precision parts processing processes and quality inspection solutions, from machining simulations using CAM software 'ESPRIT' and CNC simulation software 'NCSIMUL' to demonstrations of measuring probes MTM specifically tailored to the requirements of CNC machining centers during production, and dimensional inspections using quality inspection software Volume graphics.

New products being released this year were also introduced.

Industrial 3D automated scanning solutions provide fast and efficient scanning capabilities. A multi-mode, full-process, automatic/digital inspection solution that can be integrated with industrial robots or cobots from various brands.

Equipped with smart zoom function, SmartScan VR800 provides 20MP resolution with a scanning distance of up to 800mm using non-contact optical scanning technology, and can acquire high-level detailed data very quickly.

The scanner's compact design and light weight allow it to acquire highly precise and detailed 3D scan data not only in general measuring room environments but also in harsh production sites.

Additionally, it is not affected by the ambient temperature, so it maintains very stable and reliable performance.


A Hexagon official said, “We are contributing to the advancement of production processes for excellent domestic manufacturers, leading to better processes and results. We will do our best to enable more domestic manufacturers to utilize Hexagon’s integrated manufacturing process optimization solution to improve capabilities, increase efficiency, and secure safety.”

Meanwhile, Hexagon is a global leader in sensors, software, and autonomy, providing design & engineering solutions, production software solutions, measurement hardware and software solutions, measurement equipment and software, CAD/CAM software, and CAE software products to customers in the aerospace, automotive, electronics, and shipbuilding industries.

This year, we plan to hold regional seminars for mold companies in Changwon, Gumi, Bucheon, etc.
