Based on many years of experience in the field of laser scanning, Laserscanning Europe develops a new class of laser scanner reference spheres. Our new reference sphere set Flexi is made out of a unique material; it combines four important characteristics of a reference sphere:

1. Precise geometry - specially manufactured reference sphere for highly accurate applications in the field of laser scanning
2. Unique materials - developed for daily use and field-tested
3. Integrated shock absorber - the first sphere that can withstand impacts and falls without damage
4. Excellent reflective properties - special surface coating for optimum reflectivity during the use of laser scanners

The ideal reference sphere set for daily use. Naturally, the standard diameter and the compatibility with the mini prism have been taken into account. Thus, the automatic detection of spheres as well as the tacheometric surveying via mini prism is supported by 100 %. In addition, it is very flexible as the magnet can be detached from the reference sphere. Quality: Made in Germany.

The reference spheres have a diameter identically equal to that one of the manufacturer's original model (FARO Registration Spheres, Starter Kit) and are easily used for the detection of spheres ( for automatic registration) with the laser scanning analysis software FARO Scene.

Product characteristics:

• Sphere with a diameter of 145 mm
• Resistant and durable
• Special adapter (female thread M8) for Mini Prism (item no.: 50023)
• Includes detachable magnet base (M8/0.8 in)
• Case dimensions: 575 x 470 x 205 mm
• Case with precut foam insert for safe transport

Designated use:

• Suitable for permanent reference and control points. Reliable and proven targets for the registration of scanner positions.
• Easy and quick installation on magnetic surfaces due to a centered magnet base.
• Can be used with fixed points employing tripod or prism pole and fitting adapter.

Field of application:

• Architecture, preservation of buildings and monuments
• Design and planning of factory buildings and digital factory
• Mining industry and tunnel construction
• Public service corporations
• Aircraft construction and naval architecture
• Foundries and steel industry
• Chemistry and process industry
• Forensics

Compatible laser scanners:

• FARO LS 420
• FARO LS 880
• FARO Photon LS 20
• FARO Photon LS 80
• FARO Photon LS 120
• FARO Focus 3D 20

Delivery contents:

• 6 reference spheres Ø 145 mm (5.7 in), special adapter with female thread M8, 20 mm (0.8 in)
• 6 magnetic holders short (M8/0.8 in), suitable for our stickers
• 1 plastic case with foam insert for spheres

Indications:

• The laser scanner reference sphere set Flexi is perfect for daily use
• The center of the reference sphere can be easily determined by means of a mini prism (item no.: 50023).
• Some 12 to 18 reference spheres are used for scanning complex objects
• Reference spheres are our first choice if a universal solution and an easy handling is needed.
• The spherical shape allows the highest possible scanning efficiency from various directions without the need to adjust the reference sphere for each scan.
• Use our stickers to permanently mark your reference and control points (for several passes, resurveys, control surveys, etc.))(item no.: 50012; >3D reference sticker)
