Scanology AXE-B17 3D Scanner: Innovative Solution for High-Precision Three-Dimensional Scanning
In today's world of industrial manufacturing and quality control, the Scanology AXE-B17 3D scanner represents cutting-edge optical measurement technology that sets new standards for accuracy and productivity. This professional tool is designed for those who refuse to compromise on the quality of digital documentation and inspection of complex geometric objects.
The AXE-B17 model features 17 crossed blue laser lines, delivering unprecedented data collection speed. For professionals working with medium and large objects, this technology means the ability to obtain metrologically accurate results without involving additional equipment or operators.
Versatility Across Multiple Industries
The application scope of the AXE-B17 encompasses the most demanding industrial segments:
- Aerospace: where micron-level precision is critical for flight safety and regulatory compliance
- Automotive manufacturing: for quality control of engine components, body parts, and prototyping new models
- Energy sector: inspection of turbines, wind generator blades, and hydraulic systems
- Shipbuilding: scanning hulls, propellers, and complex engine mechanisms
- Mold manufacturing: accelerating design, inspection, and repair processes for complex forms
The portable scanner provides advanced capabilities for wind turbines, hydraulic power systems, and construction equipment, supporting maintenance planning, defect detection, and performance optimization tasks.
Intelligent Adaptive Scanning System
The key advantage of the AXE-B17 lies in its flexible operating modes adapted to different needs: high-speed scanning for efficient results and precise scanning of deep holes. Operators can instantly switch between modes directly during operation using integrated control buttons.
High-speed scanning mode is ideal for:
- Rapid capture of large body panel surfaces
- Digitization of sculptures and architectural elements
- Creating digital twins of industrial equipment
- Inspection of large stamped parts
Precise deep hole scanning mode is indispensable for:
- Inspection of internal channels and chambers
- Scanning complex cast parts with inaccessible angles
- Geometry control of threaded connections
- Measurement of internal surfaces of pipes and cylinders
World-Class Integrated Photogrammetry System
The advanced photogrammetry system sets a global standard for measuring medium and large-sized objects. Thanks to the built-in photogrammetry system, the AXE-B17 can operate completely autonomously, without the need to install additional trackers or positioning systems.
This solution radically transforms the scanning workflow:
- Reduction of measurement preparation time by 50-70%
- Decrease in the number of required markers by half compared to standard handheld scanners
- Ability to perform the complete inspection cycle single-handedly without assistants
- Significant cost savings on additional equipment and its calibration
Express Processing of Sheet Metal and Stamped Products
The technology allows scanning an entire form of stamped parts in just a few minutes and verifying their compliance with the CAD model, detecting flatness deviations, deformations, and geometric discrepancies. For automotive component manufacturers and metal processing enterprises, this means the ability to quickly identify problems in the technological process and promptly adjust equipment settings.
Revolutionary Approach to Workpiece Alignment
Traditional methods of workpiece alignment before machining require significant time investment and operator qualification. The AXE-B17 offers a new method of workpiece alignment using 3D laser scanning, which works for both irregularly shaped workpieces and forged shafts with complex geometry.
The advantages of this approach are evident:
- Automated determination of optimal workpiece position
- Minimization of machining allowances
- Reduction of scrap risk due to incorrect datum setting
- Documentation of initial workpiece geometry for supplier control
Integration with Modern CAD/CAM Systems
Professional scanners don't exist in a vacuum but as part of an integrated digital workflow. The AXE-B17 seamlessly integrates with leading CAD platforms: SolidWorks, CATIA, Siemens NX, and others. Specialized software provides a complete cycle from scanning to finished CAD model, including:
- Automatic point cloud noise cleaning
- Intelligent alignment of multiple scans
- Generation of parametric surfaces
- Export to all common engineering data formats
- Ergonomics and Mobility for Field Conditions
The lightweight construction and thoughtful weight distribution allow operators to work throughout an entire shift without fatigue. Compact dimensions make the AXE-B17 an ideal solution for field inspections: on construction sites, in repair hangars, on production lines.
The USB 3.0 interface ensures stable transmission of massive data volumes without delays, while Class II laser safety means the ability to work without special eye protection.
Economic Feasibility for Medium and Large Businesses
Investment in a professional metrological 3D scanner quickly pays off through:
- Reduction of quality control time by 5-10 times
- Decreased costs for prototype production
- Minimization of scrap through early deviation detection
- Ability to rapidly reverse-engineer obsolete components
For enterprises operating in industries with strict accuracy requirements, the AXE-B17 becomes not just a measurement tool but a strategic asset providing competitive advantages.
The Future of Three-Dimensional Metrology
The Scanology AXE-B17 demonstrates what a modern professional tool should be: powerful yet accessible in use; precise yet productive; universal yet specialized for specific tasks. This is a solution for those who understand that the digital transformation of manufacturing begins with accurate and reliable measurements.
Implementation of high-precision 3D scanning changes the very philosophy of quality control: from selective verification of critical dimensions to complete digital documentation of the geometry of each product. The AXE-B17 makes this transition technologically feasible and economically justified.
