This invention presents a method and precision apparatus for obtaining high-speed three-dimensional inspection data for manufactured parts in a manufacturing environment.
One embodiment of the invention provides a machine-vision system that includes a machine-base unit and a table-base portion supported by the base unit. At least two upright portions are connected to the table-base portion. A first scanner support is coupled to the upright portions. An imager head is coupled to the scanner support, wherein the scanner support moves the imager head in a linear motion to scan the object. A connecting member including at least one vibration-absorbing portion connects to the upright portions to absorb vibrations of the upright portions.
