FEATURES:

Range up to 350m

Within the Laser Scanner Focus Series, FARO offers its customers the possibility to choose between short, mid and long range laser scanners with the latest technology and high accuracy.

IP Rating – Class 54 and Extensive Temperature Range

With the sealed design, the Focus devices are certified with the industry standard Ingress Protection (IP) Rating and classified in class 54 against environmental influences. In addition scanning in challenging temperature conditions is possible due to an extensive temperature range.

On-site Compensation*

With the on-site compensation functionality users can verify and adjust the Focus compensation on-site or in the office, ensuring the highest scan data quality. A comprehensive compensation document is automatically generated.

Integrated Accessory Bay*

With this future-proof interface users can connect additional accessories to the scanner, which offers an option for user specific customization.

HDR Photo Overlay

With the Focus HDR functionality, challenging lighting situations will never subtract users’ scan results. Predefined HDR profiles increase the picture quality recorded in very bright or dark environments.

Lightweight and Small Size

Weighing only about 4.2 kg the Focus Laser Scanner is simply mobile and portable.

* Offered for FocusS series only

WHAT ARE THE FUNCTIONS OF HDR?

The HDR laser scanner models record HDR imagery. HDR means high dynamic range and is a technique to capture images with multiple exposure rates and merging them into a single HDR image layer. This HDR image provides additional details in dark or bright areas, which would have been lost in a standard image. These HDR images will be mapped onto the point cloud data generated by the laser scanner.

Main benefits:

Reliable life-like visualization, even under extreme lighting conditions and large distance
Safe and fast as-built data capturing with superior colour detail
Reduced complexity by integrated scanning and imaging workflow for all kinds of scanning tasks
