ZEISS Launches Next-Generation 3D Handheld Scanner

ZEISS, a high-precision technology company, has launched its T-SCAN hawk 2, a next-generation handheld 3D laser scanner that blends remarkable ease of use and metrology-grade data precision that is certified to meet the highest industry standards. The T-SCAN hawk 2 is a portable system that can be used across many industries, allowing users to scan objects up to multiple meters thanks to its new satellite mode. 

Designed and produced in Germany, this tool features a simple and intuitive user interface, with easy-to-operate functionalities. The software can be entirely operated with the T-SCAN hawk 2 interface, meaning there is no need for a laptop. The system also adapts easily to hand movements, thanks to its workflow assistant. The ability to start and navigate directly make it especially user-friendly, facilitating its use under any circumstance.

Satellite Mode Ensures Distance Control
The T-SCAN hawk 2 delivers high-precision data. It is ideal for working in confined spaces and hard-to-reach areas as well as reaching larger objects without the need for the classic built-in photogrammetry with coded markers. This is thanks to the innovative new satellite mode that allows users to capture data with accuracy and precision.  This is a significant improvement compared to traditional handheld laser scanners that are limited by their range capacity. The device projects a red laser marker to help users maintain an ideal working distance.

Seamless Transition Between Tasks
 In addition to its versatility and ease of use, the ZEISS T-SCAN hawk 2 provides high precision and adaptability. The device can be adjusted for resolution and field of view, allowing it to be used in challenging environments, such as confined spaces or hard-to-reach areas. In addition, the laser scanner is designed to work on a wide range of materials and surfaces, including dark or shiny surfaces, while delivering 3D measurement data with the highest accuracy.

Industry Versatility 
The ZEISS T-SCAN hawk 2 is a highly portable device that can be used in a variety of industries. It is an ideal solution for the automotive, shipping and railway, aerospace and energy sectors as well as for mold and machine manufacturing. The device comes in a compact case that contains additional tools, such as a hyperscale for fast recalibration and a power delivery hub, resulting in a complete solution for on-the-go measurements.

GOM Inspect, Integral Software Solutions for 3D Inspection
The T-SCAN hawk 2 blends with GOM Inspect, the company’s 3D inspection software that seeks to take user experience to the next level thanks to powerful functions like GD&T calculations, trend analyses and digital assembly.  The software also offers specialized packages for various industries and a parametric concept for efficient project templates.
