01
Stable scanning with light sectioning
method
KONICA MINOLTA RANGE5 employs triangulation by the light
sectioning method, using a Class-2 semiconductor laser to sweep
the target with laser light. In as little as approximately 2 seconds,
a target is scanned with laser light that has passed through a slit,
and the reflected light is received by the 1.31-megapixel CMOS
sensor that provides high-resolution information.
The information is then converted into 3D data using the data for
distance to the target calculated based on the triangulation prin-
ciple. One scan can obtain up to approximately 1,310,000 points
(1,280 x 1,024 points) of 3D coordinate data.
02
High reliability with minimized influ-
ence from environment conditions
The KONICA MINOLTA RANGE5 has adopted a new optical sys-
tem which adjusts focus based on the signal from the image
pickup device. It also has an integrated inner base-plate made
of CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic). As a result, the KONICA
MINOLTA RANGE5 has achieved a lightweight body, great rigid-
ity and high driving accuracy. At the time of measurement, the
KONICA MINOLTA RANGE5 provides high reliability when op-
erating in various environments by minimizing the influence of
instrument tilt, temperature changes, etc.

High measurement accuracy based on
strict inspection standards
The KONICA MINOLTA RANGE5 has achieved high measure-
ment accuracy*

Part 2".
The testing method utilizing ball bars is planned to be included
in a Japanese Industrial Standards proposal related to the test-
ing of optical non-contact coordinate measuring instruments.
Konica Minolta performs testing based on "VDI/VDE 2634 Part 2"
using ball bars calibrated by the National Institute of Advanced
Industrial Science and Technology of Japan for all KONICA MINOLTA
RANGE5 units. We build confidence by clearly indicating the product
accuracy and by conducting strict testing for each unit before shipment.
*1
Accuracy: Measuring instrument accuracy expressed as error limits under the defi ned conditions.
*2
Measured at a distance of 450 mm and ambient temperature of 20±1°C. Other conditions are according
to Konica Minolta Sensing standards.
*3
Ball bar: Equipment for evaluation of accuracy, consisting of a bar that has balls attached at both ends.
*4
VDI/VDE 2634: Optical measurement system testing guidelines issued by Germany in 2002.

On-site calibration for maintaining high
reliability
A compact calibration chart
that can be set up on a table
is supplied as standard. When
calibration is required due
to changes in ambient tem-
perature, all you have to do is
to scan the calibration chart
according to the software
guidance.
This will ensure measurements with the same accuracy as the
time of shipment from the factory.
