Hexagon’s AS1 laser scanner works with portable measuring arms and laser trackers

Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division has introduced the Absolute Scanner AS1, a multiuse, automation-ready laser scanner. This modular, blue laser line scanner is the first in the industry to operate with both laser trackers and portable measuring arms, according to the manufacturer.

The unit offers a data collection speed of 1.2 million points per second, which is more than three times faster than the previous flagship tracker scanning system, the company reports. The data acquisition tool is suitable for any industry requiring quality 3D data within a 60-m volume.
