The new ZEISS T-SCAN hawk 2
A lightweight, next-generation handheld 3D laser scanner
ZEISS has introduced its new ZEISS T-SCAN hawk 2, a portable tool to capture data with metrology-grade precision wherever needed: in quality control or reverse engineering, maintenance, repair and overhaul.
Key highlights
- A portable system usable across many applications and industries
- New satellite mode to scan objects up to multiple meters
- Handheld precision developed and produced by ZEISS
The new T-SCAN hawk 2 was developed and produced in Germany and certified for the highest industry standards. A large focus for the design is simple user guidance: aiming to be intuitive to operate, it adapts to the movement of the user's hand, features a workflow assistant and the possibility to start and navigate the workflow directly. Users can operate the software directly with the system, meaning there is no need for external operation with a computer.
Introducing the new satellite mode and perfect distance control
Scale is not an issue for the T-SCAN hawk 2. It’s ZEISS' first portable laser scanner with the new satellite mode, allowing users to scan objects up to multiple metres in size. There is no need for the classical built-in photogrammetry with coded markers and no compromise on accuracy. Another highlight is a red laser marker projected onto the components. This visual aid helps users to keep the perfect working distance while capturing data.
An easy switch between different tasks
Its construction allows the T-SCAN hawk 2 to deliver high-precision data in most environments. Operating with a seamless adjustment for resolution and field of view, it can operate even confined spaces and hard-to-reach areas. The scanner is also marketed as delivering highly precise 3D measurement data on dark or shiny surfaces.
Whatever the job, wherever the job
ZEISS T-SCAN hawk 2 is ready for industries like automotive, shipping and railway, aerospace or the energy sector. It is also great for mold and machine manufacturing, for example. Indoors or outdoors, the new 3D laser scanner travels in just one case, keeping everything at hand. Moreover, the case contains additional tools like a hyperscale for fast re-calibration or a handy power delivery hub.
