Hexagon – Portable Scanning, probing, NDT/NDI, and much more.

Problem Statement:

Technicians face the challenge of requiring multiple devices to perform a variety of quality assessments, from non-destructive testing (NDT) to laser scanning and probing. This complicates the workflow, and escalates costs and training requirements. The need is for a singular, versatile system that can seamlessly transition between NDT, high-resolution laser scanning, and precise probing without sacrificing accuracy, efficiency, or functionality.

Technology Solution Statement:

A multifunctional tool like Hexagon's Absolute Arm could resolve multi-tool complexities by consolidating quality assessment needs into one integrated solution, thereby optimizing the quality control process. A 3D scan with the Absolute Scanner can be used on small to large objects with Hexagon’s AS1 and AS1-XL made for the Absolute Arm.
