3D Scan-to-Path is a technology for the automated generation of robot trajectories for shot peening processes. The process begins by digitally capturing a component via a 3D scan. The resulting geometric data is used to automatically generate optimised movement trajectories for the sentenso PeenBot.

In automatic robot programming, the component is first measured digitally and its surface analysed. The Scan-to-Path technology then generates an optimised robot path, checks it offline and transfers the finished programme to the PeenBot. This significantly reduces the effort required for manual teach-in.

3D scanning enables the rapid and precise capture of complex component geometries. This allows robot programmes to be created more quickly, changes to be implemented more easily, and peening processes to be carried out with greater reproducibility. 3D scanning increases the flexibility of automation, particularly when dealing with frequently changing components.

Scan-to-Path reduces set-up times by digitally capturing new components and automatically preparing robot programmes. This largely eliminates the need for time-consuming manual programming, meaning that new processes can be set up more quickly and brought into production sooner.

Yes. Scan-to-Path offers significant advantages, particularly for small batch sizes and frequently changing components. New workpieces can be integrated more quickly, without the need for extensive manual robot programming for each component.
