Wireless Scanning and Advanced Processing
Wireless scanning makes setup and data capture easier by not having to deal with long cords potentially disturbing the scanning environment. Once the wireless modes are set up, operators can significantly speed up their preparation by installing the wireless packs to the device and begin scanning.
For scanners such as the NimbleTrack and TrackScan Sharp this can make scanning multiple objects within the optical tracker environment easier due to the ability to rapidly swap parts within the scanning space or move the tracker to new positions without worrying about physical connections to a computer to log the data.
When scanning, the multi-grid blue-light lasers and various scanning modes ensure you can capture all necessary details with little to no preparation of the object’s surface. Blue-light laser technology specializes in capturing difficult-to-scan surfaces such as glossy, semi-transparent, and thin edges due to the adjustable laser frequency. If you are scanning multiple types of materials the laser can be adjusted to achieve optimal reflection so data is captured quickly and with minimal noise. And, through the use of targets on the part, around it, or on the scanner itself (like on the NimbleTrack and TrackScan) you can maintain tracking and accuracy for oversized or thin objects.
SCANTECH software and devices have noise filtering and edge-computing algorithms to ensure the data you capture has minimal outliers and misalignments. It also accounts for some environmental factors like vibrations, lighting, and temperature.
