The RS6 Laser Scanner is the flagship 3D scanning sensor for Absolute Arm 7-Axis systems. Using cutting-edge blue-laser technology and advanced programming, it combines ‘always-on’ maximum performance with simple usability to deliver much improved productivity in high-performance non-contact measurement. It’s 3D laser scanning, but better.

With the RS6, high-speed 3D scanning comes without performance degradation on any surface, whatever the finish or material. With an ultra-wide and horizontally-oriented laser scan line and fully-automatic exposure settings, 3D digitisation is faster, easier and more accurate.

Powered by our innovative SHINE – Systematic High-Intelligence Noise Elimination – technology, the RS6 Laser Scanner has no hidden settings that limit speed and scan-line width in order to deliver peak accuracy. The RS6 delivers full performance at all times – maximum frame rate at maximum laser width for maximum productivity.

The RS6 scanner can also be easily removed from the Absolute Arm, to allow easier and safer access to touch probing functionality in hard-to-reach areas. It can then be remounted with no need for recalibration – thanks to its completely repeatable mounting, you just clip it back in place and continue 3D scanning immediately.

The RS6 Laser Scanner is the pinnacle of 3D scanner technology for portable measuring arms, and in combination with the Absolute Arm 7-Axis delivers the ultimate all-round portable measurement solution for small-to-medium components.

Features and benefits

Scan Line

The RS6 scanner projects a 150mm line (in the middle of the scan range) onto the object, which is 30 percent more than the previous generation scanner – digitizing large parts and surfaces in the RS6 is significantly faster.

Light weight

The RS6 scanner weighs just 400 grams, which allows it to be easily moved during operation and minimizes operator fatigue.

Configurable wrist

The RS6 is part of the Absolute Arm 7-Axis Customizable Wrist. It acts as a separate hardware scan module that can be quickly and easily removed and reinstalled as needed, without the need for recalibration.

Easy to customize

Advanced algorithms in SHINE technology allow most surface types to be digitized with default exposure settings, making high quality metering easier than ever.

Feedback

Thanks to the built-in OLED display on the wrist, the operator has the ability to select scanner profiles and other settings without leaving the scanner.

Visualization

The laser rangefinder helps users make more accurate and efficient measurements by ensuring that the scanner is correctly positioned relative to the part being measured.

ISO Certification

The accuracy of the RS6 Scanning System and the Absolute Arm 7-Axis System is certified to ISO 10360-8 Appendix D

Technological foundation

Designed with many years of experience in 3D scanning and contact measurement technology, the HEXAGON ABSOLUTE ARM coordinate measuring arms are a new link in the evolutionary chain of portable measuring machines, from ROMER ARM to ROMER ABSOLUTE ARM, which now remain in the past.
