Optical Tracking Technology

The major advantage of the TrackScan-Sharp 49 is its optical tracking architecture.
Instead of relying on a mechanical arm to determine scanner position, the optical tracking system continuously monitors the scanner and reference markers.
This allows the operator to move the handheld scanner freely around the component while the system calculates its position in 3D space.

This workflow is particularly useful for:
Large automotive components
Aircraft structures
Industrial machinery
Vehicle bodies
Large molds
Complex mechanical components
Large manufactured structures

Laser 3D Scanning

The handheld scanner captures the surface geometry of the component using laser scanning technology.
This provides dense 3D point-cloud data that can subsequently be converted into polygon meshes or used for inspection and reverse engineering.

Typical workflow:
Position the optical tracking system.
Place reference markers when required.
Start the TrackScan-Sharp scanner.
Scan the component from multiple directions.
Track the scanner position optically.
Generate the 3D point cloud.
Create a mesh or inspection dataset.
Compare the scan with CAD/reference data.
Industrial Inspection
The TrackScan-Sharp 49 is well suited to dimensional inspection and quality-control applications.

It can be used to inspect:
Automotive body panels
