Technical specifications

(1) ISO 17025 accreditation: probing error (size) performance (PS) is evaluated based on the VDI/VDE 2634 Part 3 standard and the JJF 1951 specification.

(2) ISO 17025 accreditation: sphere spacing error (SD) performance is evaluated based on the VDI/VDE 2634 Part 3 standard and the JJF 1951 specification.

Technological excellence in the palm of your hand

Simscan Gen 2 is the next generation of industrial laser scanners, designed to solve the most demanding metrology tasks.

Simscan Gen 2 supports three operating modes:

High-speed mode: for fast capture of large objects
High-accuracy mode: for detailed scanning of critical surfaces
Deep-hole mode: with an additional blue laser line for working in confined spaces

Advanced data processing algorithms provide highly repeatable results and minimal sensitivity to environmental conditions. The scanner integrates seamlessly into existing production processes and quality control systems, providing accurate data for engineering decisions.

The Simscan Gen 2 family includes four models (22/30/42/E), each optimized for specific tasks, from inspecting small parts to scanning large ones, so you can choose the ideal solution for any enterprise.
