Atlascan Max Hexagon’s hand-held 3D scanner offers three scanning modes that employ one, 14 or 26 blue laser lines to scan a part. The lightweight scanner has an ergonomic design and can be used comfortably for long inspection projects. Wireless connectivity gives users unrestricted freedom of movement. A built-in LED feedback system on the handset gives users instant feedback to know they’re scanning correctly without having to return to the control computer.
What’s new? The Atlascan Max.
Benefits Ease of use. Users can change scanning modes directly on the hand-held 3D scanner, and data collected with different modes is seamlessly combined within the same point cloud/mesh. No part fixturing is required — Dynamic Scanning functionality can compensate for extreme noise and vibration, meaning users can scan even a moving part. The Atlascan Max is easily adapted to automated inspection systems, and its large stand-off ability allows data to be collected farther away from the part, lowering the risk of collisions. Users can choose between standard, fine and line scanning modes for greater efficiency or resolution as needed for the application.
