An article explaining Flexscan22 has been published in the "Surveying Information Center" by the Japan Surveying Association.

For acquiring point clouds! The high-precision TLS Z+F IMAGER 5016 is mounted on a "backpack" and utilized as a mobile measurement system.

The FlexScan22 is a mobile measurement system that allows for the quick attachment of the high-precision TLS Z+F IMAGER5016. Equipped with an accurate tracking system and a state-of-the-art camera system, it enables the recording of high-quality, high-precision point cloud data! Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use! What is SLAM? In recent years, there has been development in real-time spatial awareness methods utilizing SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) technology. *SLAM technology is a computational method that simultaneously creates a map of the surrounding environment recognized by sensors and estimates its own position. The SLAM technology, which provides location information of the movement path without using GNSS positioning, not only enables indoor mapping in spaces like indoors and underground but can also be utilized in outdoor surveying. The Z+F FlexScan22 combines the advantages of ground-based scanners with the efficiency of mobile systems, allowing mobile mapping in locations where GPS cannot be used, including indoors, thanks to the adoption of SLAM technology.

【Real-time registration・Ultra-lightweight】It is possible to obtain clear and realistic 3D color point cloud data.

The "Z+F IMAGER 5016" is a high-precision, lightweight ground-based 3D laser scanner that can perform scanning and registration simultaneously using a phase difference method. While scanning, it allows for compositing, coloring, and noise processing on a tablet PC. This reduces working time in the office and prevents measurement omissions on-site. It contributes to the efficiency of operations, providing a stress-free waiting time. The measurement range is from 30 cm to 360 m. The 5016A scans at a high speed of 2.18 million points per second, while the 5016 scans at 1.1 million points per second, both equipped with a high-speed Wi-Fi antenna. It boasts a measurement error of less than 1 mm (at 50 m) and low range noise, all while weighing only 6.5 kg for easy handling. 【Features】 - Equipped with an LED light, allowing measurements in dark places such as tunnels and manholes without external lighting. - Built-in high-speed Wi-Fi antenna. - Capable of measuring a horizontal range of 360° and a vertical range of 320° in a single scan. - Built-in HDR camera with adjustable white balance. - Safe to use in public places with a laser class 1 (the lowest level of hazard). - Tablet operation makes it ideal for measuring in hard-to-reach areas. *For more details, please refer to the documentation.

● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model production is not required, the time needed to create prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! With one molding process, different products with similar shapes or varying dimensions can be molded at the same time. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

We will be exhibiting at the "New Manufacturing and New Services Exhibition for Small and Medium Enterprises" from December 16 (Tuesday) to 18 (Thursday), 2025. Please feel free to stop by our booth. We look forward to meeting everyone.

Thank you very much for your continued support. Donaldson Japan Co., Ltd. will be closed during the following period: From April 25 (Saturday) to May 6 (Wednesday). Inquiries made during the closure will be answered sequentially after May 7 (Thursday). We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.
