The ScanWorks® portable scanning system combines the ease-of-use of portable CMM arms with the sophistication of Perceptron's scanning technology. The ScanWorks® V5 sensor uses solid state, non-contact, laser based technology. Using triangulation, the scanner captures profiles generated by the intersection of a projected laser plane and the target topography. Users can easily control data collection through buttons on the portable CMM. For each profile, the arm position is used to translate the profile data into a common coordinate frame. Once translated, the profile is married with the other profiles to produce digital 3D part topography.

SPEED
A maximum of 7640 points along the laser line at a rate of 60Hz provides the user with unparalleled scan data density. This incredible rate of up to 458400 points per second gives a minimum point to point resolution of 12µm.

LARGE FIELD OF VIEW
Having a maximum width and depth of field of 140mm and 110mm, respectively, enables users of the ScanWorks® V5 sensor to rapidly capture large, geometrically complex, areas.

PROJECTED RANGEFINDER
Several features are available to guide the user when scanning. Most notable is the ScanWorks® V5 proprietary field of view projection. The sensor projects an accurate trapezoidal representation of the field of view showing the extents as well as optimal scanning offset distance. This enables the user to quickly become familiar with good scanning practices and minimize redundant overlapping data. This system is backed up by an audible tone which changes frequency depending on depth of field and a graphical output.

DYNAMIC RANGE
The ScanWorks® V5 sensor has just the same ability to capture accurate data on dark and reflective surfaces as the proven ScanWorks® V4i sensor. Its class leading dynamic range negates the need for harmful white powder sprays and paints. The addition of advanced software filters enables dynamic reflection removal and hardware filters make the sensor impervious to ambient light.

ACCURACY
Field calibration of the sensor is entirely independent of the hard probe. Within a few minutes, the user can precisely align the sensor to the PCMM co-ordinate frame without having to calibrate the hard probe first. Factory rectification of the V5 sensor ensures measurement accuracy of 24µm 2s throughout the entire field of view.

REAL-TIME INTEGRATIONS
Direct integration with, Rapidform XO™ and Delcam PowerINSPECT allow the user to scan within a familiar interface. Time consuming file management becomes a thing of the past because the data is captured real-time within your preferred reverse engineering or inspection suite.

USABILITY
The lightweight ergonomic design of the ScanWorks® V5 scanning solution makes easy work of even the most arduous measurement tasks. With the PCMM’s hard probe exposed at all times, at the flick of a switch, the user can alternate between non-contact and contact measurement. This feature can be extremely useful when setting up alignments or datum features.

PORTABILITY
The ScanWorks® V5 sensor is transported in a wheeled flight case similar in size to a small suitcase. Along with the PCMM and laptop computer, the entire scanning solution easily fits into a family car. Magnetic mounts on the PCMM
base ensure a robust setup in a manufacturing environment. When a magnetic surface is not on hand, a range of tripods is available at extra cost.

VERSATILITY
ScanWorks® V5 is suitable for numerous industries and applications, from the factory floor to inspection rooms and laboratories. Industries where ScanWorks® is delivering value and cost savings include: Aerospace, animation, automotive, consumer products, cultural heritage, forging, investment casting, mould & die, plastics, prototyping and stamping.
