SmartScan Super-High Resolution Scanner

06.01.2015

The smartSCAN with two powerful 8 Megapixel GigE cameras rounds up the product range and offers an unprecedented resolution and precision.

The smartSCAN R8 is available with field of views ranging from 65 x 50 mm (measuring depth 40 mm) up to 1,065 x 870 mm (measuring depth 660 mm); it provides an even higher data quality and resolution than the already available smartSCAN systems. The system control with the high-performance software OPTOCAT ensures easy handling and flexibility.

The new scanner configuration is particularly well suited for applications which are more demanding in terms of resolution requirements, e.g. in the fields of quality inspection or reverse engineering. Overall, the smartSCAN system series delivers a very high level of feature accuracy for any type of 3D scanning project. Even under temperature fluctuations, the system operates stably and reliably. All measurement systems are characterized by a fast data acquisition, even complex surfaces of fragile or deformable component parts are captured at a high level of precision in a matter.
