FARO Leap ST Performance
Ultra-fast and Hyper-fine Scanning for Optimized Data Capture
The Leap ST leverages its main operating mode, Ultra-fast Scanning, with multiple lasers for rapid coverage and efficient feature identification across the entire field of view. For areas requiring exceptional detail, Hyper-fine Scanning employs seven parallel lasers at a close standoff distance, achieving ultra-high point density. This mode seamlessly integrates within the Ultra-fast workflow, allowing users to selectively add high-resolution data only where necessary, maintaining a manageable 3D model for subsequent processing.
Deep Hole and Large-Area Modes
The Leap ST's Deep Hole mode employs a unique laser triangulation method, strategically reducing the baseline between the projector and camera to dramatically enhance the ability to scan within deep holes and challenging, hard-to-reach areas. For large-scale applications, the Large-Area Scanning mode utilizes 11 parallel infrared laser lines, providing an expansive scanning area ideal for inspecting medium to large parts with sizable features, or for capturing initial rough scans of larger components.
Enhanced Accuracy for Large-Scale Scanning: Integrated Photogrammetry
The Leap ST incorporates photogrammetry to mitigate accumulated error associated with lengthy scanning trajectories, improving overall accuracy across various scanning modes and workflows. Unlike traditional photogrammetry setups requiring numerous accessories, the Leap ST provides a complete, self-contained solution, including scale bars, ensuring seamless and efficient large-scale measurement without the need for additional equipment.
