Hexagon Absolute Scanner AS1

The Hexagon Absolute Scanner AS1 is a portable blue-laser scanner used to capture the precise shape of bent tubes and complex components with speed and accuracy. It operates without physically touching the part, using advanced laser scanning to generate a detailed 3D digital model/digital twin. This enables faster inspection, accurate bend validation, and improved quality control throughout the tube fabrication process.

 

3D precision scanning for component confirmation

The Hexagon Absolute Scanner AS1 is a portable 3D laser scanner that helps us quickly and accurately capture the shape of bent tubes and complex components. It works by scanning the surface of a part without touching it, creating a precise digital model we can use for inspection, bend validation, or design verification.

This scanner allows us to confirm that our tube assemblies match the intended specifications and geometry. It’s especially valuable when working with tight-radius bends, multi-plane shapes, or hard-to-measure configurations. With fast data capture and seamless integration into our inspection workflow, the AS1 helps us maintain accuracy, reduce scrap, and keep production moving efficiently.

Precision in tube bending is essential to everything we do at Mundo Tech. The Hexagon Absolute Scanner AS1 plays a key role in helping us maintain the quality, consistency, and performance our customers rely on.

As a company focused on fabricating complex bent tube assemblies, we depend on high-accuracy scan data to validate part geometry, confirm bend accuracy, and support efficient production workflows.

The AS1 allows us to scan complex tube shapes, structural routing, and assemblies with consistent, repeatable results. Its wide scan line and SHINE technology make it easier to capture data from reflective materials or intricate geometries without the need for surface prep. Combined with our Absolute Arm, the scanner gives us the flexibility to inspect parts directly on the shop floor or in our quality control lab.

With this technology in place, we can ensure every tube meets exact design specifications and provide detailed documentation for quality assurance. Whether we’re supporting aerospace, automotive, or industrial projects, the AS1 helps us deliver fast, accurate, and traceable inspection our clients can count on.
