Sensor Types and Technical Data
Information About the Sensor
Ideally, you have camera and projector lenses that are preadjusted to
your measuring volume. In this case, you need to perform no or just
very few steps for adjusting the sensor.
A complete sensor setup is only required if the corresponding set of
lenses has never been adjusted before or is decalibrated (wrong ad-
justments).
For a complete sensor adjustment, you need to adjust the angle rela-
tions of the cameras and set the focus and aperture of the lenses.
Then, the complete system is calibrated by means of calibration
panels or calibration crosses. If the measuring volume is adjusted
successfully by calibration, you may start a measuring project.

The lenses shown in this example may, in some cases, differ from
those delivered in practice. Therefore, the statements made here have
to be used correspondingly.
All lenses are marked with L (left) or R (right) or P (projector). Left and
right are defined from the sensor view in normal operating position.
Never switch on the sensor if the projector lens still is equipped with
the lens cap! Due to the high light output, the lens cap and the pro-
jector lens may be damaged!

For the projector lenses, the aperture value is fixed and cannot be

camera positions (e.g. SO, 300, 500), and screw it into the cameras
and the projector.
To avoid getting dirt into the cameras and the projector, always equip
the devices with lenses or blind caps, even when they are switched
off. When changing the lenses, fix the new lenses in place immedi-
ately.
Screw in the lenses carefully by hand, lock the focus locking ring, if
necessary, to ensure screwing in without any problems.

Sensor Setup
8. Sensor Setup
8.1 General
In order to adjust the sensor, the complete system including the
ATOS software needs to be installed and the sensor must be
equipped with a set of lenses matching the measuring volume and
the camera position. For achieving all camera positions, three differ-
ent camera supports can be used.
For each measuring volume (MV), the set of lenses are factory-
preadjusted.
If you have the respective set of lenses for each measuring volume,
setting up the sensor is easy as you do not need to carry out all the
steps referring to adjusting the focus and aperture!
You always need to perform a complete sensor setup if, for example,
the corresponding set of lenses has never been adjusted before or is
decalibrated.

Sensor Setup
Using the icon Set Up Sensor, you may register in the software the
requested measuring volume and the camera distances used, see
4.2. All further adjustment parameters will automatically be determined
by the software (measuring distance, filters, focuses, ...). A software
dialog guides you through the required individual steps.
If you use a set of lenses that has never been adjusted before or that
is decalibrated, you also need to adjust the aperture and the focus.
The yellow arrows point to the clamping screws for adjusting the
focus and the white arrows point to the clamping screws for adjust-
ing the aperture.
atos_cs_rev01_en_rev-c 2012-09-03
You need to loosen the clamping screws before starting to adjust the
focus and aperture.

them from getting dirty and being scratched. Make sure you do not
touch the surface of the calibration object if possible. After each use,
duly accommodate the calibration objects.
Clean the surface of the calibration object using the enclosed micro-
fiber cloth from the standard tool box. Wipe the surface gently only.
Never exert any pressure.

Calibration Conditions
Sensor Calibration
10.2.2 Prerequisites
We recommend letting the sensor warm up for approximately 30
minutes (camera and projector switched on), so that calibration can be
carried out under operating conditions.
A prerequisite for successful calibration is the correct setup of the
sensor.
The measuring object defines the measuring volume and thus the set
of lenses to be used. Depending on the field of application of the
measuring system (mobile, stationary), you either need to use a cali-
bration panel or a calibration cross.
The measuring distance to the calibration object has to be adjusted
according to the measuring volume used, see the sensor configuration
table in section 4.1 and 4.2.
At the beginning of the calibration process, you need to enter the
temperature into the software at which the calibration is carried out.
Measure the temperature using a thermometer.

from the standard tool box. Wipe the surface gently only. Never exert
any pressure.
Damaged points will not be used for calibration.
Soiling and damages in the area of the larger calibration points in the
middle may cause that the ATOS software does not identify the pan-
el!
If you use multiple ATOS COMPACT SCAN sensors, please check
that the serial number of your calibration object matches the calibra-
tion data in the software. The software only checks the correct type
of the panel but not the serial number.
It is mandatory that the serial number of the calibration object is iden-
tical to the serial number of the calibration object in the ATOS soft-
ware! Otherwise your measuring system may provide inaccurate
measuring data!

Choose the required calibration object with the mouse,

Maybe you are asked whether the settings are to be reset to the rec-
ommended calibration settings. This always happens when the cali-
bration object has never been used before or it was used in connec-
tion with a different camera position (SO, 300, 500). Confirm the re-
quest with Yes.

Due to the size of the cross you can only calibrate the sensor in a
horizontal position.
Page 33 (40)
Calibration Using Calibration Cross CC 30

The calibration cross also contains the information of two scale bars
(one on each cross axis). The scale bar information is a specified dis-
tance between defined points.
For each calibration cross there is the calibration certificate with the
calibration data. You can also see the calibration data on the rear side
of the cross.
If you use multiple ATOS sensors, please check that your calibration
object matches the calibration data you entered in the software.
Make sure that the calibration cross does not touch the floor during
the calibration process as otherwise deformation effects may lead to
negative impacts during the calibration.

Please make sure that all calibration data are entered correctly into
the ATOS software!
Otherwise your measuring system may probably provide inac-
curate measuring data!

In the following windows, enter the current measurement temperature
and accept the adjusted camera focal lengths.
Place the calibration object at the measuring distance in front of the
sensor using a stand. As the laser pointers are already adjusted to this
distance (see section 8.4.2), you only need to move the stand until the
two laser points become one (see section 10.4).

Sensor Calibration
Please follow the instructions until the end of the calibration process.
In order to capture the entire measuring volume, you need to move
the sensor during calibration. For this, the following general rule ap-
plies: You should move the sensor by 1/3 of the measuring volume
height closer to the object and by 1/2 of the measuring volume height
further away – in each case starting from the center of the measuring
volume.
After you recorded the last calibration image, finish the calibration with
Compute.
The calibration cross must not have been taken apart during the last
calibration and the quick calibration!
