OverviewTrackScan Sharp is an optical 3D scanning system engineered for large-volume, long-distance, high-precision industrial measurement. The system integrates 25-MP industrial cameras, onboard edge computing, and battery-powered wireless operation to support fast, untethered inspection workflows. It measures large parts with a maximum tracking distance up to 8.5 m and industrial volumetric measurement ranges up to 135 m³ (model-dependent).
Key highlights- Wireless battery-powered operation with edge computing in scanner and optical tracker for real-time processing and direct 3D coordinate output.
- Long-distance tracking and large volumetric coverage: tracking distance up to 8.5 m; volumetric measurement ranges reported up to 135 m³ (some configurations up to 233 m³).
- High-speed measurement: up to 6,000,000 measurements/s (product-tier dependent).
- Multiple scan modes to capture both broad surfaces and fine details: ultra-fast, hyperfine and deep-hole scanning (model dependent).
- Mechanical design optimized for stability and thermal consistency (CFFIM technology) with ergonomic housing for multi-directional handling.
Applications- Aerospace: inspection of large components, prototyping and geometric quality control.
- Automotive: mold and die inspection, component scanning, assembly verification and quality control.
- Energy & Heavy Industry: turbine and large machinery inspection, maintenance and defect analysis.
- Rail & Shipbuilding: scanning of rails, train components, hulls, propellers and engines.
- Mold, tooling, reverse engineering, research, entertainment and cultural heritage digitization.
Functional features- Edge computing: onboard processors in scanner and tracker process images/data in real time and output 3D coordinates.
- Plug-and-play operation: automatic system connection on power-up for rapid start of scanning workflows.
- User-friendly controls: intuitive buttons and handling for flexible scanning operations.
- Fine-detail capture: hyperfine mode with parallel laser lines to capture slots, corners and intricate features with high resolution.
- Versatile compatibility: supports multi-tracker setups to extend range; compatible with i-Probe500 tracked probing and optional MSCAN photogrammetry for enhanced volumetric accuracy.
Notes & additional observationsMultiple configurations and model variants exist (TrackScan Sharp-S, TrackScan Sharp-E, TrackScan Sharp49). Some marketing references mention configurations with up to 99 laser lines; technical tables for S/E variants list 81 blue laser lines (Triple Cross Technology) and the 49 variant lists 21 blue laser crosses. Measurement performance, scanning range and laser-line counts vary by model and configuration. Optional intelligent edge detection (gray-value measurement) and robotic-arm integration are available for automated setups.
