GETTING TO KNOW THE LEICA T-SCAN

Leica Geosystems Universal CMM solution consists of the portable Leica laser tracker and the Leica T-Scan non-contact handheld laser scanner. The Leica T-Cam, a camera embedded at the top of the tracker, precisely measures the orientation of the object in space, while the Laser Tracker's absolute distance meter (ADM) determines the distance to the object. This enabling technology paved the way for the development of the Leica T-Scan and the wireless, walk-around T-Probe.

With a measurement volume of 30m (98ft), the high-speed Leica T-Scan digitizes large and small objects nearly 50% faster than ordinary scanners. With minimal setup time, the handheld device can capture 3D surface data from both shiny and diffuse surfaces under normal light conditions. It scans most surfaces from clay and foam to textiles, folio-covered surfaces and sheet metal, with no need for surface preparation with powder or photogrammetric targets. In addition to its ease of use, the collected point cloud data can be used immediately for analysis, viewing, or modeling without any post-processing, an industry first. By projecting a laser beam point by point, the Leica T-Scan high-speed hand scanner uses flying dot scanning to digitize all types of surfaces. The Leica T-Scan is primarily used for inspection and reverse engineering applications in a wide variety of industries.
