The Most Accurate and Broadly Capable Portable 3D Scanning Solution
The Absolute Scanner AS1 is the pinnacle of 3D scanner technology for portable measuring arms and laser trackers. It is the ultimate all-around portable and versatile measurement solution for components of any size. The thoughtful cross-platform design of the AS1 allows it to be used on portable arms, or as a handheld in combination with a laser tracker, making it more versatile than ever. Switch seamlessly between probing and scanning with the flick of a switch. Need to probe into a confined or hard-to-reach area? Both the pistol grip and the laser scanner can be easily removed & reattached in seconds without the need for recalibration.
Using the innovative SHINE technology from Hexagon, the AS1 allows you to scan 99 percent of surface types with the default exposure settings. The blue laser in the AS1 is able to handle highly shiny surfaces better than most 3D scanners, including polished chrome.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How exactly is the Absolute Scanner
AS1 better for large objects?
Most arm-based laser scanners only work while attached to the arm. But the
AS1 can be removed from the arm and used as a handheld scanner in
conjunction with a laser tracker. Essentially, the laser tracker, with its
much larger range, takes over for the arm and maps the data together by
constantly tracking the location of the scanner. This allows for complete
freedom of movement over a large area and achieves better accuracy than
would be achievable by moving an arm from place to place. Yes, the Leo
allows you to hot swap batteries on the fly. Two-slot battery chargers are
available so you can continuously rotate without stopping the scan
process.
Will this scanner handle very shiny
objects?
Yes. The blue laser in the AS1 can handle even the shiniest surfaces, like
machined aluminum and polished chrome.
Can the laser and handgrip be
removed easily if I need to probe into tight spaces?
Yes. They detach quickly and easily. You can also reattach without the
need for recalibration.
How easy is it to switch between
probe and laser scanning?
Very easy. A flick of the switch located on the trigger will switch
seamlessly between probe and scan modes.
What software do I need to use the
Absolute Scanner AS1?
Hexagon arm users have many software options open to them. There are
options directly from the manufacturer like PC-DMIS and Inspire. You can
also scan and probe directly into most major inspection and reverse
engineering products like Polyworks, Geomagic for SOLIDWORKS, Control X,
Design X, and Dezignworks.
Is this laser eye-safe?
Yes, the blue laser is safe for your eyes.
How accurate is the AS1 when used
on the Absolute Arm?
It varies with size range but, for example, our 8-foot capacity 85 Series
arm is accurate to 0.002” over the entire length of the arm when using the
laser. When using the probe, it is accurate to 0.001” over the entire
length of the arm.
