Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence has released their new Leica Absolute Scanner LAS-20-8. The portable device is designed for inspection applications in the automotive, aerospace and manufacturing industries.
The easy-to-use device allows for quickly capturing complex point-cloud data either on the factory floor or in the field. It automatically adjusts laser intensity for different surface types and therefore minimises training requirement, so even unexperienced operator are able to easily perform scans.
The LAS-20-8 laser scanner works in tandem with the ultra-portable Leica Absolute Tracker AT960, and offers enhanced performance for manual freeform surface inspections on intricate workpieces, even those with dark or shiny metallic materials. Integrated haptic technology also provides the user with feedback during operation, along with acoustic and visual guidance to get the best results.
“With the Leica Absolute Scanner LAS-20-8, we wanted to create an affordable handheld laser scanner that delivers results every time without complex setups or training needs,” explains Joel Martin, Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence, Laser Tracker Product Manager. “Alongside the Leica T-Scan 5, our high-speed laser scanner for feature-rich inspections or use with robotic and automated systems, LAS-20-8 enables us to offer an easily scalable laser scanning solution for any large-volume measurement application.”
The LAS-20-8 is available to order worldwide via local Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence commercial operations and dealers, with shipment commencing immediately.
