FARO Technologies, Inc., a leader in portable computer-aided measurement arm and laser tracker sales, has announced that it has developed a Super Mobile Laser Scanner Kit.
"Nearly every application requires a laser scanner to be repositioned in order to get a comprehensive view," FARO president and CEO Jay Freeland said. "The new Super Mobile Kit makes scanning faster and more productive by enabling our customers to take it anywhere, whether they're hiking through forests or rough terrain like in civil engineering, tunnels and mines, forensic scenes or archaeological excavations."
The FARO Laser Scanner LS is a portable, computerized measurement device that scans, digitally recreates and records all of an object or area's dimensions, creating what looks like a "photograph" on the computer screen, but in 3-D. The captured data can be used to create a digital model for inspection, reverse-engineering, CAD-to-part comparison, factory planning, or investigations for industries ranging from power, process and piping to forensics, surveying and historical preservation.
The Super Mobile Laser Scanner Kit capitalizes on the FARO LS' compact design, the company said. According to FARO, the Kit includes:
A carbon-fiber tripod, for a super-sturdy, yet light weight setup of the Laser Scanner from 69 cm to 180 cm.
New Wi-Fi/WLAN Scanner Connection enables users to control scanning from their PDA, mobile phone, laptop or other Internet-equipped devices, eliminating dependence on heavy laptops with limited battery life.
A scanner-based web server, which gives scanning control to as many as different users as needed - without additional license fees.
The Laser Scanner Rucksack (back pack) enables the user to conveniently load and carry the Laser Scanner and the carbon-fiber tripod over long distances or confined spaces.
"With the Super Mobile Kit, FARO offers its customers a major advancement in ease of use, mobility and professional handling," Bernd-Dietmar Becker, FARO's director for Marketing & Product Management for Laser Scanning, said. "The Wi-Fi/WLAN minimizes cables, which makes the FARO LS simpler to use, faster to set up, safer on the plant floor, and maintains the integrity of crimes scenes and archaeological sites."
