Hawk

The Hawk family is a turnkey solution for non contact digitizing and rapid scanning of 3D surface and free form.

The Hawk features the highly acclaimed WIZprobe, embedding the latest laser technology in fast and accurate scanning and verification of fine details. A state of the art motion control system, coupled with the application software, tracks any free form part by automatic compensation along the laser beam direction.

Reverse Engineering & CAD Compare

During the scanning process, the system displays and records the numerical data in real time. This data can be exported to 3D modeling software to create a CAD model. The CAD model can be then used to create CNC programs, enabling the user to machine a replica or any geometric variant of the shape. The pointcloud can also be exported to CAD compare software for 3D part inspection.

The Hawk family is offered in a variety of sizes, from 500 mm up to 12 meters, to meet customer's specific applications.

Superior Accuracy

The Hawk provides single point precision of 10 micron (1sigma) and a feature precision of 2 micron (100 points best fit, 1 sigma), meeting the highest precision requirements. The combination of a large dynamic range and high accuracy, makes it simple and easy to set up the scanning path and collect thousands of points per minute, quickly and accurately. There is no noise and no need to filter or post process the pointcloud data.

Intelligent Process Capability

Based on the proprietary optics, the unique adaptive control and the sophisticated image processing software, the WIZprobe handles almost all materials and surface finish types, automatically performing self-calibration.
The Hawk can scan black to white to gauge block metal in a single scan, without painting or preparing the surface. In addition, the WIZprobe enables automatic surface contour tracking.

Ease of Ownership

The Hawk features powerful and user-friendly application software, with a very easy set up of the scanning scripts patterns for any measured object.
No programming is required.
The Hawk requires no special installation or preparation.
The system can be placed on a rigid surface near power and air outlets.

Fast Return on Investment

The combination of superior performance and low price ensures a fast Return On Investment with significant savings of both manpower and materials.
