VIVID 9i 3D Laser Scanner
The VIVID 9i uses a new hardware design and an improved measurement algorithm to provide 4x the measurement accuracy than that of our previous models (to 50µm), enabling 3D measurement of automobile parts and other objects formed by casting, pressing, molding, etc.
The VIVID 9i can be used for reverse engineering to reflect the shape and dimension data of mock-ups or prototypes in design drawings, or for checking part shape, checking molds, inspecting quality, etc. in prototype-production or mass-production processes.
High speed, high precision, and measurement accuracy of ±50µm
The VIVID 9i requires only 2.5 seconds per scan to acquire accurate 3D data. This means that the VIVID 9i is ideal for accuracy verification and shape inspection of cast, forged, and pressed automotive parts and plastic-molded automotive parts.
Measure targets of any size
Konica Minolta has employed its expertise in optical engineering to develop interchangeable, high-performance, dedicated lenses. As a result, TELE, MIDDLE and WIDE lenses can be selected to accommodate the size of the measurement target.
(Input range in X, Y and Z directions: 93 × 69 × 26 mm to 1495 × 1121 × 1750 mm)
Point & Shoot, Leave detailed settings to the 9i
Konica Minolta’s AF/AE technology, developed through its expertise in camera manufacturing, relieves users from the need to determine the exact measuring distance. Moreover, the system automatically determines the optimum laser power for the surface conditions of the target.
(Scan Range: standard mode 0.6 to 1.0 m, Extended mode 0.5 to 2.5 m )
High speed and high accuracy
Start the measurement by framing the scan area on the LCD Viewfinder of the VIVID 9i unit or on the host computer’s display. Each scan requires only 2.5 seconds for acquiring accurate 3D data.
Standards-Traceable performance
Konica Minolta supports compliance with ISO 9000. Manufacturers using VIVID 9i for QC applications can receive a test report of the accuracy of each 9i, traceable to national standard. This ensures that our measuring instruments and your process conform to ISO 9000 requirements.
* On request, Konica Minolta can provide a test report for each 9i unit. This test report is created by evaluating the measurement accuracy for all 3 lenses of each 9i using our Reference 3D Chart, an artifact traceable to national standards, and thus can be used as documentation for conformance with ISO requirements.
Give us your part, and we’ll prove it to you.
The new Field Calibration System maintains the high-reliability of the factory settings by canceling the degraded accuracy caused by lens exchange or a change in environment. A simple calibration procedure before use assures the optimal performance from the 9i.

Case Studies:
Carolina Bronze: Making Giant Strides From Small Models
Carolina solved their challenging project with a turnkey system from Konica Minolta Sensing Americas. Their project required them to create a larger than life-size bronze statue of a Ronald Reagan, President. They were given an artist's mock up of the sculpture that was in pieces.
How were they going to scale the model up to 10 feet, how could they make it and what hardware, software and machines would they need? These were some of the problems facing Carolina Bronze.
