Advanced 3D scanner for CMM, designed to meet growing productivity needs.
Available with a 300mm, a 150mm or a 50mm laser line, the Zephyr III 3D scanner covers all measurement requirements on CMMs machines. It is a high-end product able to easily scan the most complex parts in record time. As a versatile product, it can be switched to measuring arm, robot and machine tool.

CMM 3D scanning
Save time, reduce costs, analyze data.
- Operate offline programing to avoid collision and production shutdown.
- Gain time by scanning and probing continuously thanks to the probe under the Kreon scanner.
- Use PH10 motorised indexing heads (T,M and MQ) to control all the faces of the part. Automatically calibrate the scanner positions onto the indexing head.
- Compatibility with ACR3 auto-change rack to easily switch between Kreon Zephyr III scanner and specific probe.
- Use the statistical data analysis from 3D measurements to improve your processes.

High Speed
High productivity scanning
- Less scan passes with up to 300 mm laser line width*
- Faster movement of the 3D scanner assured by the high frequency
- Acquisition speed of 600,000 points/sec*, allowing to quickly get the dense point cloud.

High Resolution
Acquisition of the tiniest details
- 2,000 points per laser line*
- High resolution level of 15 µm*
High Accuracy
Keep a high quality level
- Optimal accuracy up to 5 µm, even on shiny reflective surfaces, due to blue laser fineness
- Temperature compensation of the 3D scanner to avoid pre-heating and to maintain a constant accuracy

Performance and comfort are in the details
Blue and Large laser line
The Zephyr III scanner delivers optimal measurement accuracy, even on shiny surfaces, due to blue laser fineness. The width of the laser line, up to 300 mm, makes it possible to scan more quickly by reducing the number of passes.


Scanner with probe
For even greater flexibility, there’s no need to remove the scanner to start probing operations, as a probe can be positioned directly under the Kreon scanner. Thus, scanning and probing operations can be managed at once in the same measurement range for better productivity.
High resolution camera
The high-resolution camera on Zephyr III scanner gives a very high level of resolution, up to 15 µm between two points, which makes it possible to scan the smallest details such as engravings, holes, part edges and grooves.


PH10 compatible connection
Compatible with the PH10 motorized head, the Zephyr III 3D scanner uses multiple orientations to inspect the entire part in a fully automated process while maintaining a high accuracy level. The attachment is also usable with ACR3 autochange rack for fully automated measurement.

The most accurate
Zephyr III 50 3D scanner is dedicated to high accuracy and high resolution scanning on small geometries. No detail can escape it: engraving, drilling, part edge, grooves, etc.

The most agile
The perfect combination between accuracy and productivity. An optimal balance for all applications, whether dimensional control or reverse engineering.

The fastest
With a 300 mm laser line, it scans large size parts in record time. Ideal for full surface inspection: deformation, assembly, wear, etc.

3D scanner versatility


Always the best measurement results
All Kreon 3D scanners are validated in accordance with THE ISO 10360-08 standard.Faithful to their specifications, Kreon 3D scanners can easily be integrated into a rigorous quality approach.

MPE (P[Size.Sph.All:Tr:ODS])
Maximum size error on all measured points (translation mode).
This test determines the scanning error when measuring a dimension. Carried out on a reference sphere, it gives the difference between the diameter measured by the scanner (deduced by the least squares method from all points scanned) and the actual diameter of the sphere scanned. The closer the result is to 0, the more accurate the scanner when measuring the size of geometric shapes. |
5 µm | 14 µm | 26 µm |
MPL (P[Form.Sph.D95%:Tr:ODS]) (2σ)
Maximum dispersion value on 95% of the measured points on a sphere (translation mode)
This test determines the distribution of points on a scanned surface (Fig. 1.2). It can be used to assess measurement noise. Carried out on a calibrated sphere, it draws an envelope round the sphere (like a shell) covering 95% of scanned points (2 σ). For the test result, the thickness of the shell is divided by two as it is expressed at +/-2 σ. The closer the value to zero, the less noisy the point cloud. |
8 µm | 15 µm | 29 µm |
MPL (P[Form.Pla.D95%:Tr:ODS]) (2σ)
Maximum dispersion value on 95% of the measured points on a plane (translation mode)
This test complements the preceding one while applying the same principles. Here the laser line is tested in its entirety and not partially as on the sphere. Measuring noise is determined based on a plane rather than a sphere. The test covers 95% of scanned points between two parallel planes. For the test result, the distance between these two planes is divided by two as it is expressed at +/-2 σ. The closer the value to zero, the less noisy the point cloud. |
