Extremely Compact and Plug-and-Play
NimbleTrack's lightweight and compact design aims to set new standards for optical 3D scanning systems. Its lightweight design allows users to take measurements wherever needed. The i-Tracker is 57 cm long and weighs a total of 2.2 kg, making it easy to use. In addition, engineers and professionals can work with the 3D scanner, which weighs only 1.3 kg, for extended periods without fatigue. The system comes with a standard protective case that accommodates all instruments, providing a flexible and convenient user experience.
Stable Structure and CFFIM Technology
NimbleTrack's 3D scanner utilizes innovative Carbon Fiber Frame Integrated Molding (CFFIM) technology, ensuring a lightweight design with high strength, breaking through the limitations of traditional assembly structures. Its stable structure makes the device highly stable and completely unaffected by thermal changes. A single calibration ensures its long-term stable operation. Users can leverage this cutting-edge technology to fully control every scan.
Wireless Freedom
This flexible optical 3D scanning system is designed to set a new benchmark for wireless and free 3D scanning. It eliminates the need for any cables to power the instrument, use functions, or transmit data, allowing for on-site measurements in various environments, even where there are no outlets or power sources. The 3D scanner has a powerful built-in battery, and the tracker comes with a standard plug-in battery, providing a dual power cycle to ensure continuous operation for extended periods. All these advancements allow users to enjoy a wireless measurement experience.
Dual Edge Computing and Robust Performance
Both NimbleTrack's 3D scanner and tracker are equipped with powerful edge computing modules, providing a fast and smooth scanning experience at a high frame rate of 120 FPS. Compared to common handheld 3D scanners, it saves power requirements and the hassle of sticking markers, greatly simplifying the measurement process. It easily handles complex tasks by providing marker-free and efficient 3D scanning.
Unleashing Precision, Unleashing Excellence
Users can fully utilize Scantech's metrology products and advanced algorithms. The system can achieve an accuracy of 0.025 mm and a maximum volumetric accuracy of 0.064 mm over the full range. With high precision and usability, NimbleTrack allows users to capture detailed 3D data.
Next-Generation 3D Scanning
NimbleTrack's compact and flexible design allows users to explore new applications in industrial measurement. In confined spaces or hard-to-reach areas, the 3D scanner can operate wirelessly and independently, enabling instant scanning and one-handed control. This allows for high-precision scans of up to 0.020 mm anytime and anywhere. When measuring larger parts, the optical tracker can further improve accuracy using built-in infrared large-range photogrammetry, reducing cumulative errors caused by scan alignment.
Maximize NimbleTrack's Potential
Smart Edge Detection
NimbleTrack boasts precise edge detection capabilities achieved through grayscale measurement, allowing users to accurately inspect enclosed features such as holes, slots, and edges, and acquire information such as position and diameter.
I-PROBE500
It can be used with the tracking i-Probe to probe hard-to-reach areas such as reference holes and hidden points. This contact measurement probe ensures accurate results and offers both wired and wireless options.
Multi-Tracker Measurement
Its measurement range can be dynamically expanded by adding more i-Trackers, allowing for large-scale object measurement without compromising accuracy.
Automated Measurement
Based on the new 3D scanner architecture, Scantech offers customized fixture methods suitable for automated measurement, making it more compatible with various types of robots. Its 360-degree uniformly distributed target set allows for omnidirectional and precise tracking, facilitating the formation of efficient automated batch measurement systems.
Applications
NimbleTrack's versatility and powerful performance lead Scantech to believe that its equipment represents a huge step forward in industrial 3D scanning applications. From automotive to aerospace and beyond, its wireless capabilities and versatility will enable users to work smarter and faster. For scanning areas, NimbleTrack is best suited for measuring parts ranging from 40 mm to 2000 mm. Typical parts include car doors, hoods, interior seats, die castings, and new energy battery casings. NimbleTrack is also ideal for applications where markers are not allowed, including aircraft maintenance, heritage preservation, and automated measurement.
The NimbleTrack system excels in situations where power connection is inconvenient or long cables could compromise safety. Examples include on-site measurement of corroded oil pipelines or high-altitude scanning of large components. In these scenarios, NimbleTrack stands out as a reliable solution. NimbleTrack simplifies the production process, ensuring precise measurements during assembly, quality inspection, and final inspection. Engineers and designers can rely on NimbleTrack for accurate 3D scanning, which aids in product development and rapid prototyping.
