Shelley Automation Signs on as Canadian Distributor of ShapeGrabber

ShapeGrabber, a pioneering innovator of industrial 3D laser scanners for quality
inspection and measurement headquartered in Ottawa, Canada, and Shelley
Automation, distributors of technologically advanced automation products
across Canada and headquartered in Toronto, today announced a distribution
agreement.

Shelley Automation will add the ShapeGrabber line of 3D laser scanners to the
stable of solutions it offers to Canadian manufacturers. The agreement
advances a decade-long relationship between the companies, as Shelley
Automation supplies ShapeGrabber with many of the motion control
components used in the manufacture of its 3D scanners.

Pierre Aubrey, CEO at ShapeGrabber, said: "We are very pleased to bring on
Shelley Automation as a Canadian distributor. We have worked with the
company for more than a decade and know what a fantastic, professional
organization they are. We’re thrilled to have such an exceptional company
represent us and are excited to have new resources to increase our presence
within the domestic manufacturing sector."

Brian Shelley, Co-President and CEO at Shelley Automation, said:
"ShapeGrabber’s automated industrial 3D scanners are an excellent addition to
our range of products that bring advanced automation to manufacturers.
ShapeGrabber 3D laser scanners provide manufacturers with another means to
enhance productivity and achieve continuous improvement in the quality control
cycle."

Shelley Automation’s optical offerings already include fully automated, online
vision systems. With the ShapeGrabber product line, Shelley enhances another
element of its customers’ complete quality control process: the metrology lab.
With a higher level of automation and modern optical tools for measurement,
manufacturers can use the 3D scanners to dramatically reduce inspection time,
provide rapid whole-part inspection, and troubleshoot the really tough quality
problems.

Offering many times the speed of traditional dimensional measurement
techniques such as calipers, gauges and coordinate measurement machines
(CMMs), ShapeGrabber’s 3D scanners are used for industrial quality inspection
to measure complex shapes that are otherwise too time consuming, costly or
simply impossible to measure. They are particularly valuable for inspecting and
measuring complex plastics, metal castings and stamped parts that features
compound curves and multiple features.
