Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence Announces BLAZE 600M

Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence has unveiled the BLAZE 600M, a new non-contact optical measurement solution. It is a system that is suited for 3D data acquisition, inspection, product development, line tuning and reverse engineering.

The scanner combines high-resolution digital imaging with blue light LED illumination, and does not require surface treatment of metallic, plastic and composite parts. The system is not sensitive to industrial and ambient light sources, as well as indirect daylight. Designed for operation in industrial environments, vibration due to heavy machinery processes, has a negligible impact on measurement results due to the scanner’s fast data capture rate. The highly-portable BLAZE 600M is an all-in-one unit that fits in a single box and is available in two projection configurations, the company states. 

“The new technologies incorporated into BLAZE 600M transforms our optical inspection portfolio to a new level of blazing speed and versatile performance,” says Amir Grinboim, White Light and Automation manager, North America, Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence. “The most accurate solution in our 3D optical scanning portfolio, BLAZE 600M is also the most configurable with its easy setup and adaptability to different part types and applications in aerospace, automotive and general engineering. The shop floor readiness of this scanner is underscored by its speed, flexibility, and accuracy to improve productivity on the shop floor.”
