FARO Focus S70 Lidar Hits 1mm Accuracy
This article was originally published in Geomatics World.
FARO has introduced the latest entry to its line of Focus laser scanners, the Focus S70, a scanner spec’ed out for short range, high accuracy scanning in the AEC, product design, and forensics industries.
The S70 is similar to the low-cost M70 scanner announced in January. It has a 70 metre range, an IP rating of 54 for use in adverse conditions, and HDR capture. The S70 sets itself apart by offering much denser data, 1 million points per second to the M70’s 500,000 points per second and a higher accuracy of +/- 1mm compared to the M70’s +/- 3mm.
FARO says the scanner is intended for applications that require the short-range scanning of the M70, but the accuracy of the S150 or S350.
The company has not announced a price, but the upgraded specs mean it will likely cost more than the M70. The S70 is available “for immediate quoting,” so you can contact your local sales representative for more details.
