Portable 3D Scanner
June 1, 2016
Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence has announced the Leica Absolute Scanner LAS-20-8, a portable laser scanner for large volume inspection applications such as automotive sheet metal, aerospace mold tools, large industrial castings and more. Design-focused on improved usability, the handheld 3-D scanner allows shop floor operators to quickly capture complex point-cloud data. The LAS-20-8 laser scanner works in tandem with the portable Leica Absolute Tracker AT960, and offers enhanced performance for manual freeform surface inspections on intricate workpieces, even those with dark or shiny metallic materials. "The product's ease-of-use and ability to auto-adjust laser intensity for different surface types dramatically minimizes training requirements, enabling novice operators to scan worry-free with confidence," said a company spokesperson.
The ergonomic LAS-20-8 is optimized for portable metrology applications requiring effective measurement volumes up to 196.85 ft. With an IP50 rating and a battery power option, the scanner can be utilized almost anywhere on the factory floor or in the field. The scanner synchronizes with the laser tracker, enabling fast transitions between scanning, probing and reflector measurements. Newly integrated haptic technology adds a new level of user feedback during operation, along with acoustic and visual guidance for the best possible results. Using the main trigger button of the scanner, the operator can select pre-set measurement profiles on-demand, such as an 8" wide scan line for maximum coverage of large surfaces or a smaller scan line with up to 13 µm point spacing for small complex surface geometry.
The LAS-20-8 laser scanner can integrate with the Leica Absolute Tracker AT960, Leica T-Probe. "The laser scanner uses the same software interface as Hexagon's ROMER Absolute Arm product line, enabling experienced operators to immediately apply their existing knowledge to system checks, compensation and certifications," said the spokesperson.
The Leica Absolute Scanner LAS-20-8 is available to order worldwide via local Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence commercial operations and dealers.
