The Absolute Scanner AS1 is the world’s first ever cross-platform 3D laser scanner, compatible with both Absolute Tracker and Absolute Arm systems from Hexagon. Built on the same high-end technological foundation as our successful RS6 Laser Scanner and its exclusive SHINE data processing technology, the new AS1 makes collecting clean high-quality measurement data easier and faster than ever before. With accuracy guaranteed to within 50 microns throughout a measurement volume 60 metres in diameter, the AS1 is the market’s new leader for large-volume inspection tasks when paired with a high-end laser tracker. With the ability to switch the scanner to a portable measuring arm in just seconds within the same measuring session and with no need for realignment, hidden areas and cavities can be quickly digitised, allowing for complete part measurement.
With the Absolute Arm, it’s all in the design. Design for high measurement productivity, so other manufacturing processes can stay on schedule. Design for practicality, so users can measure in almost any industrial environment. Design for flexibility, to meet the demands of any metrology challenge, anywhere.
And flexibility is at the core of the Absolute Arm product range. Flexibility in configuring the arm’s wrist for the needs of the application and the comfort of the operator. Flexibility in swapping probes or scanners without having to stop work and calibrate. Flexibility in having measurement results displayed where they’re needed. Flexibility in a product range of 36 different configurations across three types, seven sizes and three accuracy levels. Flexibility in finding the right solution for every measurement need.
With the Absolute Arm there’s no need to compromise, no need to settle for second best. Whatever, wherever and however we want to measure, the right choice is right there, by design. (Multi) functional, by design
Absolute Scanner AS1
High-quality scan data collected at full speed, whatever the part. Scan 99 percent of surface types with default exposure settings thanks to SHINE technology. Extra-wide scan line for faster part coverage. High-quantity data collection without sacrificing data quality. Effortlessly removed from the arm for easier probing of hidden areas. Remountable in seconds with no time-wasting recalibration. Horizontally oriented scan line for more comfortable measurement. Projected laser range finder makes correct scanner positioning simple. Full-speed scanning performance over WiFi or a single cable. Complete System Scanning Certification defined according to ISO 10360-8 Annex D. Cross-platform compatibility makes the AS1 the first scanner that can be used with both a portable measuring arm and a laser tracker.
