Leica T-Scan TS50 is smaller, lighter August 2007
 
The Leica T-Scan TS50 is 30 per cent smaller and weighs 20 per cent less and than its predecessor.

Improved ergonomics - which include an all-new handle design - make it easier and more comfortable to operate too.

Among other improvements is the inclusion of optimised marker positions for more accurate 6DoF (6 Degrees of Freedom) readings over the full range of scanner positions. The feature is designed to meet the needs of users with particularly difficult geometries to scan.

The robust and rapid Leica T-Scan TS50 also features 'instant temperature compensation' facilitating measurements in almost any environment, plus an all-new intuitive LED display on the reverse of the scanner. The read-out guarantees accurate distance-to-object data for optimal scanning.

Other features include:

* A measurement volume of up to 30m (98ft);

* A 'no surface-preparation required' capability;

* Tolerance of changing environmental light conditions.

The new scanner works seamlessly with Leica’s T-Scan Collect 6.0 software - a package that facilitates the real-time transfer of data to point cloud inspection and reverse engineering programs such as Innovmetric's Polyworks V10.

To date over 350 Leica T-Scan scanners have been sold and are in use in sectors ranging from automotive to shipbuilding and aerospace to Formula One.
