Reality capture for infrastructure, safety and mobility applications

and VFX workflows for media and entertainment. The Leica BLK247 is designed for continuous 3D reality capture, extending capabilities for safety and security applications. The sensor provides real-time situational awareness through edge computing and LiDAR-enabled change-detection technology. Using artificial intelligence, the BLK247 can tell the difference between still and moving objects. Hexagon AB – Sweden www.hexagon.com

but also for their practicality. The Leica BLK2GO can be taken anywhere, and the Leica BLK247 never sleeps.” The Leica BLK2GO introduces mobility for scanning complex indoor environ- ments. The handheld-imaging laser scan- ner combines visualisation, LiDAR and edge-computing technologies to scan in 3D while in motion, allowing users to be more agile and efficient in capturing objects and spaces. It has a wide range of applications, from adaptive re-use projects in the architecture and design industries to location scouting, pre-visualisation

Hexagon AB, a provider of sensor, software and autonomous solutions, has introduced two new additions to the Leica BLK series. The Leica BLK2GO is claimed to be the smallest portable, completely integrated handheld-imaging scanner in the industry, and the Leica BLK247 is a 3D laser-scanning sensor for security surveillance providing continuous situational awareness. “Extending the BLK series continues Hexagon’s 20-year focus on revolutionising reality capture,” said Ola Rollén, Hexagon president and CEO. “These sensors are not only ground- breaking for their technical capabilities,

four motorised centring devices, as well as an output conveyor with sorting system according to inspection results. Defect detection possible with the RotoUTscan 65 UT rotating head with eight channels includes longitudinal, transversal, internal (on tubes), external, and 60° V-notches. The ultrasonic electronics are complemented by Probus supervisor

Contrôle Mesure Systèmes (CMS) has supplied an automated ultrasonic testing line for Russian market. The line is able to inspect both tubes and bars made of titanium and titanium alloys, from 6 to 65mm in diameter, at an inspection speed of up to 35m/min. The machine is composed of a loading table with automatic unravelling table, an input conveyor, an ultrasonic testing bench including RotoUTscan 65 and
