Extremely Compact and Plug-and-Play
NimbleTrack’s lightweight and compact design aims to set a new standard 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. Additionally, engineers and professionals can work for long periods with the 1.3 kg 3D scanner without fatigue. The system comes with a standard protective case that accommodates all instruments, offering a flexible and convenient user experience.
Stable Structure and CFFIM Technology
NimbleTrack’s 3D scanner employs innovative Carbon Fiber Frame Integrated Molding (CFFIM) technology, ensuring a lightweight design and 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 have complete control over 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 any cables needed for powering the instrument, utilizing functions, or transmitting data, allowing for on-site measurements in various environments, even where no outlets or power sources are available. The 3D scanner has a powerful built-in battery, and the tracker is equipped 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 and eliminates the hassle of sticking markers, greatly simplifying the measurement process. It effortlessly handles complex tasks by providing marker-free and efficient 3D scanning.
Unlock Precision, Unleash Excellence
Users can fully utilize Scantech’s metrology products and advanced algorithms, as the system achieves an accuracy of 0.025 mm and a maximum volumetric accuracy of 0.064 mm across the entire range. With high precision and usability, NimbleTrack enables 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, anywhere. When measuring larger parts, the optical tracker can further enhance accuracy using built-in infrared large-range photogrammetry, reducing cumulative errors caused by scan alignment.
Maximize NimbleTrack’s Potential
Smart Edge Detection
NimbleTrack features precise edge detection achieved through grayscale measurement, allowing users to accurately inspect enclosed features such as holes, slots, and edges, and obtain information like 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 the measurement of large-scale objects 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 make Scantech confident that its equipment represents a significant 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 components include car doors, hoods, interior seats, die castings, and new energy battery packs. NimbleTrack is also ideal for applications where markers are not allowed, including aircraft maintenance, cultural heritage preservation, and automated measurement.
The NimbleTrack system excels in situations where power connection is inconvenient or long cables could compromise safety, such as 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 streamlines production processes, ensuring precise measurements during assembly, quality inspection, and final verification. Engineers and designers can rely on NimbleTrack for accurate 3D scanning, aiding product development and rapid prototyping.
