Mobile measuring arm
3D laser scanner complements Absolute Arm range
Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence introduces an RS6 3D laser scanner for the new generation Absolute Arm mobile measuring arm launched in 2018.
This new scanner offers high-density data capture for point clouds at high speed and accuracy, achieving a significant increase in productivity. Using a range of advanced algorithms from the new Shine technology, measurements can be taken without reducing scan line width or frame rate, while maximizing quality and accuracy. The RS6 laser scanner impresses with a scan line of 150 millimeters in the medium range. Compared to the previous generation of laser scanners for the Absolute Arm, it covers 30 percent more surface area with each scan and measures faster with a three times higher frame rate of up to 300 Hertz, according to the company. This should enable scanning processes to be carried out three times faster without any loss of information in the point cloud.
According to Hexagon, the RS6 is easy to use thanks to the Shine technology, as there is no need to learn complex combinations of settings that depend on the desired accuracy and the requirements of the surface type, for example. Just like the RS5, the successor scanner can be completely removed from the arm in a matter of seconds for easier handling when not in use and, thanks to its repeatable accuracy, can be reassembled just as quickly and without recalibration. The RS6 also features a unique laser target grid that makes alignment during the measurement process much easier. Stephan Amann, Business Director for the Absolute Arm range, explains: "Our aim was to bring a scanner onto the market with which the user can measure immediately without having to worry about the settings beforehand."
The RS6 laser scanner is available immediately as a complete system with an Absolute Arm with 7 axes or as an upgrade for existing Absolute Arm systems with 7 axes of the current generation.
