Creaform, a business unit of AMETEK, Inc and a worldwide leader in automated and portable 3D measurement solutions, announced late last year the latest addition to its flagship HandySCAN 3D line-up, the MAX Series.
The handheld MAX Series line of industrial 3D scanners, designed and manufactured in Canada, offers an impressive 3D scanning area of approximately 1m x 1m and was developed to acquire accurate 3D measurements of any large and complex surfaces.
Featuring multiple scanning modes that allow users to choose between the fastest scanning time or maximum resolution, the new portable 3D scanners offer a level of versatility that will enable professionals to optimally measure any large parts and assemblies (up to 15m).
Thanks to its volumetric accuracy of 0.100 mm + 0.015 mm/m, ISO 17025 accreditation and compliance with the VDI/VDE 2634 part 3 standard, the MAX series provides metrology-grade results, making it ideal for quality control, precision link between parts with tight tolerancing, and demanding reverse engineering of large parts.
Additionally, the new scanners still feature Creaform’s powerful dynamic referencing algorithms, allowing for accurate and rigorous 3D scans of any object, whether in the lab, on the shop floor, or in the field.
The system is plug-and-play and quick to set up. The 3D scans can be easily and seamlessly integrated into any CAD software, speeding up and simplifying product development, 3D inspection and reverse engineering processes of large parts and assemblies.
The MAX Series has all the attributes that made the HandySCAN 3D line-up a reference in the industry: true portability, blue laser technology, integrated photogrammetry, live meshing, and more. It also offers new key features, guaranteed to simplify any scanning process:
• Flex Volume: this enables the user to scan with remarkable quality at a short standoff distance and measure large parts at very high speed from a longer standoff distance.
• Smart Surface Algorithm: its sophisticated image processing, combined with artificial intelligence, optimises surface measurements for unparalleled tracking, better performance, better readings of difficult, contrasted finishes, and a simpler scanning process.
• Real-Time Calibration: the MAX Series integrates the calibration step directly into the scanning workflow, performing it automatically and seamlessly.
Hi-Tech Metrology was founded in 1992 to support and promote the Sheffield Measurement range of Coordinate Measuring Machines throughout Australia and New Zealand.
Today it says its extensive range of metrology and scanning equipment combined with a complete array of support services and offices throughout Australasia enable it to tailor complete solutions incorporating hardware, software, and engineering for virtually any measurement or reverse engineering task.
The HandySCAN 3D MAX Series is available for purchase now from Hi-Tech Metrology.
