Pixsys Flashpoint, model 5000

Pixsys Flashpoint, Model 5000 is a 3-D digitizer, measuring position and orientation of objects in 3D space. FlashPoint consists of a hand-held touch probe, an optical sensor assembly, a proprietoary control module and various instruments and accessories. The sensor tracks miniature infared emitters attached to digitizing probes or other objects. THe control module interfaces to a host workstation or PC via its serial communications port, providing interactive 3D data capture in real-time.

FlashPoint's principle advantages--when compared with alternative measurement technologies are its accuracy, large volume, free-hand ease of use, portability and cost effectiveness. FlashPoint users are delighted with the true free-hand operation and large volume of FlashPoint, but the feature which sets FlashPoint apart from the other measurement devices is FlashTracker. FlashTracker eliminates the need for elaborate fixturing; enables the user to manipulate the part being digitized during the digitizing sesson; and allows the sensors to be moved during the session.
