Absolute Scanner AS1-XL

Description

The Absolute Scanner AS1-XL is a 3D laser scanner designed to meet the needs of emerging 3D scanning application for which higher productivity is the priority.
Working in conjunction with the Leica Absolute Tracker AT960 range of high end laser tracker systems, the AS1-XL opens the door to previously infeasible large-scale 3D digitisation tasks.

Features & Benefits

• Extra-wide scan line
  Never-before-seen measurement scan-line width of up to 600 millimetres makes the full digitisation of large surfaces faster and easier than ever before.
• Large standoff
  Unprecedented measurement stand-off of up to 1000 millimetres delivers excellent access to hard-to-reach hidden measurement areas, opening up a new world of laser scanner applications that were previously out of reach.
• Low noise, big data 
  Up to 1.2 million points per second of high-quality measurement data, even when scanning shiny materials that often require spray with other scanners.
• High-speed measurement
  Digitise large surfaces quickly with data collected at 300 lines per second, with no need to reduce laser line width or point spacing.
• Metrology-grade accuracy
  With accuracy retained to within 150 microns, the AS1-XL is the perfect tool for digitising the larger, less complex surfaces that would typically demand infeasible measurement process times for a laser scanner.
• SHINE performance
  The advanced algorithms of our SHINE technology allow you to digitise almost any surface type with the default exposure settings, from glossy black plastic automotive body parts to moulded carbon-fibre components, making high-quality measurement easier than ever with no high-level training required and operator variability eliminated.
• Ease-of-use
  Switching between measurement profiles and executing of macros and other software functions is fast and easy direct from the scanner with the AP21’s programmable Quick Access buttons and the Absolute Arm’s OLED touch screen wrist display.
• Light movement
  Weighing in at just 460-grams, the AS1-XL is light and easy to move, minimising the user fatigue that is one of the most common causes of inaccurate and unreliable measurement results.
• Completely portable
  Lightweight design of the scanner carries through to the laser tracker controller, which can be mounted directly on the tracker stand.
• Visual guidance
  A laser-projected range finder helps users measure more accurately and efficiently by helping ensure the scanner is positioned correctly relative to the part being measured.
• Automation ready
  A direct digital input/output function built into the scanner controller allows robot movement and scanning tasks to be managed without a dedicated automation interface for laser tracker automation setups.
• Modular marvel
  The modular concept of the AS1 allows for quick and easy serviceability, as well as device sharing between measurement teams and locations.
• Cross-platform compatibility
  Fit the AS1-XL to a handheld Absolute Positioner AP21 unit to measure over large volumes with an Absolute Tracker, or switch to an Absolute Arm 7-Axis for smaller-scale measurement, with no realignment required when switching.
• ISO Certification
  The full scanning system accuracy of the AS1-XL and Absolute Arm 7-Axis system is supplied certified according to ISO 10360-8 Annex D, while an AS1-XL with AP21 unit is specified in line with ISO 10360-10.
