HEXAGON OVERVIEW
While efficient, some laser scanners can be a hassle to install, often require long wait times during warmup and may need to be calibrated multiple times. Together, these processes can take between 40 and 70 minutes. That means manufacturers can lose approximately 8-15% of an 8-hour shift due to idle time alone.
To regain that lost time, laser scanners need to be fast, efficient, and accurate. Armed with the RS5 Laser Scanner for the all-new Absolute Arm 7-Axis, manufacturers can overcome these issues.
Here are six ways the RS5 Laser Scanner can help you reduce costs, improve measurement flexibility and provide a better response to customers.
According to Metrology News, the cost of a typical manufacturing design cycle can be reduced by 75% by utilizing 3D scanning. However, manufacturers need a reliable and accurate scanner that can increase uptime. With the Absolute Arm 7-Axis and RS5 Laser Scanner, users can simply put the arm into position, turn the unit on, and start scanning immediately. That means no waiting for warmup and no time lost to fiddly scanner calibrations – just high-quality point cloud data right out of the box. It’s a scanner that’s perfectly at home scanning almost any feature, in any environment.
