Zeiss 3-D scanner features blue and red lasers

T-Scan hawk The T-Scan hawk is Zeiss’ first standalone, handheld 3-D scanner. It features both blue and red laser sources to reliably scan a wide variety of objects, from large parts to dark and shiny surfaces to deep pockets and small details, without requiring a tracker. It can handle tasks ranging from inspection, evaluation and reverse engineering to quality control, inspection and maintenance tasks, where it can be used to inspect wear or damage.

What’s new? Multiple laser modes. The device has three modes of laser scanning: two sets of seven red lines that intersect for efficient scanning of large areas; five parallel blue lines for capturing fine details; and a single red line for measuring deep pockets or other confined areas. 

Benefits Portability. The T-Scan hawk can be used in a lab setting, on a production floor or outdoors.  while also being able to measure a wide variety and sizes of parts in an easy, guided workflow. It comes with GOM Inspect Suite software pre-installed, which facilitates simple and efficient surface inspection and can create a 3-D visualization of a scanned surface showing nominal data and deviations. The scanner’s dynamic measurement function allows an object being scanned to be repositioned without interrupting the scan, while dynamic referencing allows scans to be captured even on moving objects, or in less-than-ideal conditions.
