Hexagon has introduced the HYPERSCAN SR, a wireless optical tracking 3D scanner designed for industrial use. The device utilizes WiFi 6 and swappable batteries to eliminate cabling and simplify inspection processes.
Why it matters
The system reduces setup burdens and removes the need for physical targets on parts, allowing non-specialist operators to perform complex inspections. By compensating for movement and vibration, the scanner provides accuracy in varied industrial environments.
The scanner weighs 1.3 kilograms and delivers a capture rate of up to 4 million points per second. It achieves volumetric accuracy starting from 0.06mm at a 3.2m distance and features ISO 17025-accredited calibration.
The players
Hexagon
Hexagon is a global provider of digital reality solutions, sensor technology, and autonomous software for industrial and manufacturing applications.
The details
Equipped with on-device controls and voice-assistant support, the scanner employs target-free wide-area technology. Dynamic tracking unifies the scanner and the part within a single coordinate system to maintain precision during operation.
Timeline
Hexagon launched the HYPERSCAN SR on October 12, 2026.
The Tech Race
This launch represents a shift toward portable, wireless inspection tools that move beyond static, cable-heavy metrology setups. Hexagon positions this device to replace legacy, complex systems with streamlined hardware that prioritizes operator accessibility.
Operators can perform inspections without the time-consuming process of applying physical targets to components. The inclusion of voice-assistant support and intuitive on-device controls simplifies the data collection workflow for non-specialist technicians.
The takeaway
The move toward wireless, target-free scanning minimizes physical constraints in factory environments. Companies should focus on integrating these portable systems to reduce labor-intensive setup times in quality control workflows.
