Z+F IMAGER® 5006EX, explosion-proof 3D laser scanner

PRODUCT DETAILS

Based on the high quality laser scanner Z+F IMAGER®, Zoller + Fröhlich GmbH and DMT GmbH & Co. KG have developed an explosion proof 3D laser scanner. The Z+F IMAGER® 5006EX pioneers surveying in underground mining and industries where explosive atmospheres occur. The Z+F IMAGER® 5006EX is the world´s first ATEX approved 3D laser scanner for use in mining and industrial applications under explosive conditions. The Z+F IMAGER® 5006EX is class I and class II approved according to ATEX directive 94 / 9 / EG. The ATEX directive 94 /9 / EG "Equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres" is a European standard. The ATEX approval for this equipment is widely accepted outside the European community as well.

Features:

• The laser scanner has a nominal range of 79 m. This range of distances makes it possible to use the scanner efficiently in almost all explosive applications.
• The field of view of 310° vertical and 360° horizontal covers a very large scan area, which enables complete documentation with relatively few scan positions.
• The stand-alone concept guarantees more flexibility. No external equipment is required to scan in the field. Because of that, additional ignition sources in explosive atmospheres are excluded.

Z+F PROFILER® 9020C, 2D laser scanner

PRODUCT DETAILS

The Z+F PROFILER® 9020C is the world's first mobile 2D laser scanner with integrated cameras.

The P9020C has four integrated cameras, each with 5 MPx, which cover the entire 360° scanning area as of a distance of 40 cm. The recordings have high color fidelity and a high dynamic range. Significant differences in light conditions are compensated in such a way that the processing of the images afterwards takes short time or is completely eliminated. Shaded or overexposed areas can hardly be seen in the colored 3D representations.

The P9020C's built-in cameras allow for quick installation. Only a USB 3 cable is required for the transmission and control of the system components. Fewer cables also mean less susceptibility to errors and, conversely, more security when collecting data. In addition to this efficiency and data security, a high degree of flexibility was taken into account during development. The construction of the P9020C corresponds to that of the P9020. This means that the scanners can be exchanged in just a few minutes, depending on their area of ​​application.

In contrast to external cameras, the permanently installed cameras of the P9020C do not need to be calibrated. The cameras and the scanner are perfectly matched and ready to use upon delivery. The components are also synchronized fully automatically during installation, so that the image and measurement points match exactly. The high accuracy and the low parallax are further optimized by the compact design.

Technical highlights:

• 4 integrated cameras
• Fully calibrated system
• 267 profiles/sec.
• 2 million pixels/sec.
• Accurate to 0.2mm
• 182 m range
• 360° field of view

• Registration of the point clouds
• Check the scanned targets
• Verification of data quality and quantity
• Direct integration of handheld scanner data

Multi-scanner feature

With the new blue workflow®, several scanners can be used simultaneously in one project.
With the multi-scanner principle, all scanners work on the same project file and synchronize with a Windows tablet.

Office-Link

The new module provides project planning tools and establishes direct communication and a feedback loop between field and office.
During the planning stage, the project coordinator can start with an empty project, loading in groundplans or aerial photography and can enrich the project plan with annotations, images, documents and audio recordings. Also tasks can be defined and assigned to the individual field teams. In addition, it is possible to plan scan positions to get an overview about the total duration of the project.
During a project, all data, including scans and images can be exchanged via an FTP server or cloud-folders (e.g. Dropbox). This allows providing a status report to the supervisors back at the office, who can also comment and send feedback back to the field. It is also possible to start the processing of the partial data in the office, while the team is still out in the field acquiring more scans.
The Office Link module and features are available to all Z+F LaserControl® Office and Scout packages, including Z+F LaserControl® Office Elements.
