FARO Terrestrial Laser Scanner

FARO®‘s latest ultra-portable FocusS Laser Scanner series enable you to capture fast, straightforward and accurate measurements of complex objects and buildings.

 

The intuitive touch-screen of the FocusS models has been increased in size and clarity to deliver an extraordinary user experience. A built-in 8 mega-pixel, HDR-camera captures detailed imagery easily while providing a natural color overlay to the scan data in extreme lighting conditions. Familiar traits such as light weight, small size and a 4.5-hour battery runtime per charge makes the FocusS Laser Scanner truly mobile for fast, secure and reliable scanning.

The FocusS Series consists of three laser scanners with different ranges: FocusS 350/350 Plus for long-range measurements up to 350m, FocusS 150/150 Plus for mid-range measurements up to 150m and FocusS 70, perfectly suitable for short-range measurements up to 70m.

With their sealed design, all S Laser Scanner models are certified via the industry standard Ingress Protection (IP) Rating, and classified in Class 54 for environmental protection. The devices are built to safeguard against intrusions such as dirt, dust, fog and rain as well as other outdoor elements which typically occur in challenging scanning conditions. An extended temperature range allows scanning in extreme environments, like deserts. In addition the laser scanners offer a future-proof interface to connect additional accessories to the scanner and provide a specific on-site compensation routine.

When the FocusS is connected to FARO SCENE on a mobile computer, the project scan data becomes automatically fully registered. This On-Site Registration makes the in-office registration obsolete and the project map generates an all encompassing overview from the site scanned.

Both the Focus S and M series support the new function of rescanning distant targets. Selected areas can now be rescanned at a higher resolution for more accurate target detection. Rescanning small areas of interest provides the highest possible detail while significantly reducing the data volume and the number of necessary scans.

Other Information

FEATURES OF THE FOCUS LASER SCANNER SERIES

Accuracy and Range

The Laser Scanner Focus Series provides the highest accuracy and ranges up to 350m by using a combination of the most advanced sensor technologies.

Adaptable and Quick

Document any project site or scene, whether indoors or outdoors, in bright sun or in complete darkness in minutes. Customize settings to adapt to any scene and capture up to 976,000 points/sec.

IP Rating – Class 54 and Extended Temperature Range

With the sealed design, the Focus devices are certified with the industry standard Ingress Protection (IP) Rating and classified in class 54 against environmental influences. In addition scanning in challenging temperature conditions is possible due to an extended temperature range.

On-Site Compensation*

With the on-site compensation functionality users can verify and adjust the Focus compensation on-site or in the office immediately before scanning, ensuring high-quality scan data and traceable documentation. A comprehensive compensation document is automatically generated.

On-Site Registration*

During on-site data capture, the laser scanner immediately transmits scan data wirelessly to FARO SCENE for real-time scan processing and registration, providing efficiency and time savings.

Scan Group Feature (Rescanning of Distant Targets)

The Scan Group feature identifies multiple areas to be rescanned with higher resolution to either perform accurate target detection or to capture smaller areas on interest with greater detail.

Retake Photos Option

No need to redo entire scans. Select images to retake photos in seconds.

Integrated Accessory Bay*

With this future-proof interface users can connect additional accessories to the scanner, which offers an option for user specific customization.

Lightweight and Small Size

Weighing only about 4.2 kg the Focus Laser Scanner is extremely mobile and portable.

HDR Photo Overlay

With the Focus HDR functionality, challenging lighting situations will never subtract users’ scan results. Predefined HDR profiles increase the picture quality recorded in very bright or dark environments.

Digital Hashing Function

The automatic digital hashing feature provides encrypted security to all raw scans by hashing data at the time of capture. Use the Scan Verification Tool to ensure the scan files have not been altered in any way and data is unchanged since first captured.

Status Indicator*

The visual indicator provides the operator a status of the laser scanner for improved on-site safety.
