T-SCAN 3 makes 3D digitizing exceedingly simple: With its light, well-distributed weight and its special cable guide, the compact, ergonomic handheld laser scanner is designed for maximum ease of use. Besides its high temperature stability, the scanner features optimally oriented IR marker positions as well as enhanced calibration methods and algorithms that provide for excellent data quality. With its significantly increased sampling rate, the T-SCAN 3 is especially suited for all kinds of inspection applications. During the scanning process, the captured data is displayed in real-time on...

5 Different handling systems are available for the positioning of the tracking camera to cover a wide application range. For applications requiring high mobility, an adjustable tripod can be used. With a special camera stand featuring lockable casters, a very flexible and though stabile measurement set-up is available - the unit can easily be transported and assembled by one person. It is continuously adjustable in height and allows turning and tilting of the camera, and it additionally features an integrated weight compensation to ensure effortless handling. The combined use of T-SCAN 3...

Depending on the mobility requirements, T-SCAN 3 can be operated either with a 19“ plug-in rack for PC and control device or with an extremely compact control unit and a high-performance notebook PC. The handheld laser scanner T-SCAN 3 offers outstanding benefits for mobile use and delivers highly precise results for challenging measurement tasks such as production-related quality control. Through the adaptation of the laser scanner to an industry robot, fast and accurate automated measurement procedures for quality control are enabled. • Fully automatic, efficient 3D digitization of large...

The T-SCANplus measuring and evaluation software (64-bit OS Windows XP64 compatible) leverages the latest hardware technology, such as dual or quad cores: By parallel processing and multithreading it minimizes the computing time for processing the 3D scan data. Memory usage is streamlined, as the data is automatically rastered directly after the measurement. This offers additional advantages through faster display and excellent data quality. With its accelerated post processing and the optimized generation of triangle meshes, T-SCANplus perfectly complements the scanner system for quickly...

10 T-SCANplus - FUNCTION OVERVIEW GENERAL FUNCTIONS: • Fast surface scanning with variable point distance • Measuring modes for the scanning of surfaces, contour lines, 3D points, static and dynamic polylines • Integrated 3D, 2D, and intersection viewer, optional overlay of polygon grid or coordinate axes • Dynamic or static referencing of tracking system • Windows XP/ Windows 7 64 bit operating system with unlimited multi processor support • Display of scanner, touchprobe, touchprobe coordinates and field of view of tracking system in 3D viewer • Automatic data exchange with INSPECTplus...

11 The Dynamic Referencing function (using additional LEDs attached to the object) for scanner and touch probe reliably eliminates vibration and object movement during data acquisition, e. g. during 3D digitizing of the vehicle interior. T-SCANplus - HIGHLIGHTS • 64 bit capability • Optimized interlacing of scan lines for high-quality polygon meshes • New filter algorithms for data quality enhancement • Completely revised, significantly accelerated post processing • New user interface with tool boxes • New editing functions for polygons • New on-site calibration functionalities
