RS2 Scanner TechnologyRS2 Scanner Technology
How does RS2 work?
• Project a flat plane of tuned laser light
• Capture the reflection from the object with a 2D camera
• Extract the line from the image

RS2 BenefitsRS2 Benefits
• Fully integrated with arm wrist
• Laser power teach function for different colors,
• Semi- Automatic laser control
– Able to scan multicolor parts in one pass
– High tolerance to ambient light
• Small triangulation angle (24 degrees)
– Able to access narrow cavities in complex parts
• Ability to scan difficult materials like carbon fibre
• Contact probing also possible using the arm
