HandySCAN 3D MAX Series is positioned for aerospace teams that need to measure large, complex components without relying solely on fixed metrology workstations. The portable, metrology-grade scanning line includes the HandySCAN MAX EVO and HandySCAN MAX EVO Elite, both built on the EVO platform for large-part measurement in quality control, quality assurance, maintenance, repair and overhaul, and non-destructive testing workflows.
Two accuracy levels
The MAX EVO is aimed at aerospace product development, with volumetric accuracy of 0.150 mm + 0.020 mm/m. The MAX EVO Elite is intended for inspection and non-destructive testing work requiring higher precision, with volumetric accuracy of 0.075 mm + 0.010 mm/m. The product information describes the series as maintaining measurement reliability and accredited accuracy in accordance with ISO 17025 and VDI/VDE 2634 standards.
Integrated photogrammetry is included to support measurement of large and complex parts outside controlled environments. That capability is relevant to aerospace maintenance, where inspections may take place on the hangar floor and aircraft downtime needs to be minimized. The system is designed to capture 3D data without extensive setup or moving parts to a dedicated inspection area.
The scanner is designed for a broad range of part sizes, complex geometries and challenging surface conditions, including highly reflective materials without surface preparation. The product information says this can streamline work on fuselage sections, wings and structural assemblies, reducing setup and disassembly requirements that can slow inspection.
With the Mobility Kit, the MAX Series supports wireless, cable-free inspection for daily quality control. The EVO platform has an embedded screen for scanner control and real-time data visualization. Keeping scan data and the physical part in the operator's line of sight is intended to make complex, elevated and overhead scanning more comfortable.
Real-time mesh visualization lets operators check data coverage during scanning and identify missed areas before leaving the part. For hangar and other real-world environments, the combination of mobility, continuous feedback and fast data acquisition is presented as a way to support a more efficient scan-to-report process. Technicians can move around large aircraft structures and hard-to-reach areas, capture data at the asset and complete inspections with less interruption to maintenance and quality workflows, according to the product information.
