Nearly all of our Optimizers can be used in a Lineal Scan configuration. In cases where a full log length of travel for the piece is not available for the scan, we can configure the scanners in multiple “Scan Zones”. The Scan Zones are stacked side-by-side, with enough separation between the zones that each scan zone scans a shorter length range of the piece. At the completion of the scan process, the scans from each zone are then placed back together by the optimizer to get the full-length scan. This scan process allows the scan to be completed in a distance of travel that is considerably less than the full length of the piece being scanned.
