CyberOptics Corporation® (Nasdaq: CYBE) today announced that beta testing has commenced on its CyberGage360 3D Scanning System. First revenues are anticipated in 2016.

CyberGage360 is a high-precision automated 3D scanning system which greatly facilitates quality assurance of incoming parts inspection and in process inspection of components on the manufacturing floor, lowering customers’ cost of quality and speeding product to market. Designed for use in general purpose metrology, the CyberGage360 has a range of potential industrial applications from automotive to aerospace, where high accuracy and high speed throughput are important.

Incorporating CyberOptics’ proprietary 3D Multi-Reflection Suppression (MRS) technology that inhibits measurement distortions, the automated CyberGage360 brings significantly greater accuracy and scanning speeds to the industrial parts inspection market. The combination of 3D scanning automation, greater metrology grade accuracy and speed is superior to other scanning systems currently available in the market. With one-button simplicity, a highly precise full 360 degree automated 3D scan of high tolerance parts can be generated in less than three minutes. This simplicity also enables factory-friendly operation with minimal training.

Subodh Kulkarni, CyberOptics’ president and chief executive officer, commented: “As a 3D scanning system based upon our unique 3D MRS technology, we see no viable competitive product for CyberGage360 at this time. We believe the advanced inspection capabilities of this system and solid levels of customer interest should enable CyberOptics to capitalize upon significant growth opportunities in the large and growing 3D scanning market. These factors make us optimistic that CyberGage360 could be a significant contributor to CyberOptics’ future growth.”

CyberGage360 will be marketed by CyberOptics and LaserDesign, a CyberOptics company.
