Description
Companies
Airborne Sensors \ Airborne sensors are designed to acquire remote sensing data for various applications, including digital imagery (airborne digital sensors) and LiDAR (airborne laser scanner).
Construction Lasers \ Construction lasers refers to a variety of laser-based equipment used in the construction industry.
Field and Mobile Solutions \ Field and mobile solutions empower users in the field with mobile tools and applications, mostly geospatial information systems (GIS).
GNSS & GPS Systems \ The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based global navigation satellite system (GNSS) that provides location and time information anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS/GNSS satellites.
Laser Distance Meter \ Laser distance meters derive ranges, heights, areas and volumes of the measured distances within construction and asset management, forestry management, map revisions, etc.
Laser Scanners \ A laser scanner is a device that captures a real-world object or environment to collect data on its shape. The collected data can then be used to construct digital, three-dimensional (3D) models. 3D laser scanners are capable of capturing up to 1 million points per second.
Levels \ A level is a device used to measure relative heights or to derive height differences.
Locators \ Locators are tools used before and during the construction process to locate underground services.
Machine Control \ Machine control refers to automatic and semi-automatic steering systems for agricultural and construction machines used for tunneling, civil engineering, underground work, mining and fleet management.
Mining Systems \ The mining industry provides basic raw materials needed by major sectors of the world economy. Hexagon provides various solutions for this industry, which includes plant automation to optimize engineering data management to integrated monitoring and guidance solutions.
Monitoring Systems \ Hexagon provides technologies that can be used for various monitoring technologies. These range from integrated plant control and monitoring systems to the monitoring of natural or man-made structures. Surveying monitoring (also referred to as deformation monitoring) is the systematic measurement and tracking of the alteration in the shape or dimensions of an object as a result of the application of stress to it. Deformation monitoring is a major component of logging measured values that may be used for further computation, deformation analysis, predictive maintenance and alarming.
Software \ The Hexagon group of companies provides a multitude of software, including enterprise engineering software, geospatially powered software, surveying and construction software and dimensional metrology software packages.
Theodolites \ A theodolite is an optical instrument consisting of a small mounted telescope rotatable in horizontal and vertical planes. Theodolites are used to measure angles in surveying, meteorology and navigation.
Total/Laser Stations \ A total station is a multi-purpose electronic surveying instrument with a built-in electronic distance meter capable of measuring horizontal distances, slope distances, angles, vertical height differences, 3D coordinates and a number of other positional features. All measured data can be stored onboard or on a removable storage device. Modern total stations provide onboard programs and graphics including image capture capabilities.
Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) \ A Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) is a quality control device used by manufacturing companies to measure the physical geometric characteristics of an object in three dimensions, to accuracies up to one-millionth of a meter. A CMM can use various methods to collect dimensional data from a part including touch, laser and camera sensors.
Gauges and Hand Tools \ Benchtop measuring gauges and measuring hand tools are used by manufacturing companies to achieve quick measurements on the shop floor in one, two or three dimensions.
Laser Tracker Systems \ A laser tracker system is a portable 3D industrial measurement system that uses a laser beam and a remote reflector to measure large distances in three dimensions for large-volume measurements such as automobiles and airplanes.
Machine Tool Probing \ Machine tool probing solutions are used on industrial milling machines, machining centers, lathes, grinding machines and turning centers to measure parts during the manufacturing process. The probes help simplify setup, improve quality and reduce scrap.
Multisensor and Optical Systems \ Optical measurement systems for manufacturing use a magnified video camera to collect dimensional measurements from parts that are sensitive to touch or contain small inspection features that cannot be touched. Many of these systems also incorporate other sensor types such as touch and laser to make them more flexible.
Portable Measuring Arms \ Portable measuring arms or portable CMMs are different from traditional CMMs in that they most commonly take the form of an articulated arm. These manually operated arms have six or seven rotary axes with rotary encoders.
Probing Systems and Styli \ Probing systems and styli are accessories for CMMs and optical measuring systems. Consisting of thousands of interchangeable components, probing systems allow the capabilities of a measuring machine to be customized for the specific requirements needed to inspect a part.
White Light Scanner Systems \ A White Light Scanner (WLS) is a device for measuring the physical geometric characteristics of an object in 3D. WLS systems use rapid-exposure digital stereo vision technology to transform 2D and 3D images into highly accurate dimensional data.
