High‑Speed, High‑Accuracy Defect Detection & Measurement


The Proscan DDMS 3D Line is a fully automated defect detection and measurement system designed for fast, reliable identification of scratches, pits, pinholes, and surface deformations. Built on more than 20 years of Scantron innovation, it delivers exceptional accuracy with minimal operator input.

“A fully automated, machine learning approach to the identification and measurement of scratches, pits, pinholes, and surface deformations to µm levels.”

Fast, Automated Defect Detection

A 5MP optical camera locates flaws instantly, filtering out false positives such as dust or swarf. AI-driven software classifies defects by severity and prepares them for high‑precision measurement.

High‑Resolution 3D Measurement

Three advanced sensors provide micron‑level accuracy:

Dual‑Head Line Laser Sensor

  • Vertical resolution: 0.37–0.45 µm
  • Lateral resolution: 5.8–6.8 µm
  • Measurement range: 4 mm

Chromatic Confocal Point Sensor

  • Axial resolution: 4 nm
  • Working distance: 19 mm
  • Measurement range: 1 mm

These sensors measure defect depth, width, volume, and surface roughness, delivering repeatable, traceable results.

Powerful Proscan Software

Built on decades of refinement, Proscan software offers:

  • Automated flaw detection
  • 2D & 3D analysis
  • Point cloud visualisation
  • Surface finish parameters
  • IoT connectivity
  • Optional SmarterLink™ for QA/QC auditing and data transfer

Industrial‑Grade Design

The DDMS 3D Line is built on a precision granite table with a robust sensor gantry and integrated safety systems, including:

  • Perspex safety cover
  • Front light curtain
  • Dual emergency stops
  • Laser-disable key switch for maintenance
