The PENTAX Scanning System S-3180 sets new standards for 3D laser scanning. The S-3180 is a high-end product that uses the cutting-edge phase-shift technology. This system is known for its incredible speed and easy to operate user interface which allows for extreme accuracy and efficiency. The technical specifications of the S-3180 set new standards in the field of 3D laser scanning. Its enormous scanning speed, extended range of 187 m and low weight make it the perfect choice for countless applications. Meeting laser class 1 requirements, the Scanning System S-3180 can be used without restriction in almost any environment. This makes the scanner an interesting option from heritage even to busy environment applications. Due to the laser scanner’s low weight and unique stand-alone concept, it can also be employed in areas difficult to access like industrial plants or forests. Having the protection class IP 53 means that the device is protected against splash water and dust. The extremely fast scanner makes it possible to work efficiently on-site. Scans can be completed in very short time, depending on the requirements. At the scene of an accident, for example, all the relevant data can be gathered very quickly without interrupting the work of the police or rescue teams. Downtimes of production plants can similarly be reduced to a minimum.
