XGRIDS K1 Extension Pole Kit – set of poles for remote 3D scanning

The XGRIDS K1 Extension Pole Kit is a specialized accessory for the XGRIDS Lixel K1 3D scanner. It is designed to improve scanning flexibility and efficiency. The kit is a telescopic pole up to 2 meters long, allowing you to secure the scanner above the operator’s hand level. This solution provides access to hard-to-reach areas and expands the field of view, which is especially important for professional tasks requiring high accuracy and comprehensive data.

Purpose and features of the XGRIDS K1 Extension Pole Kit

The main purpose of the kit is to expand the capabilities of the XGRIDS K1 scanner, giving it greater versatility in various conditions. The telescopic design allows for easy length adjustment up to 2 meters, significantly increasing scanning height. This is especially useful when working with tall objects, building facades, ceilings, and other elements that are difficult to capture from a standard angle.

The remote 3D scanning kit is designed with the specifics of the Lixel-K1 scanner in mind, including its light weight (about 1 kg with battery) and mounting features. To minimize vibrations and shaking that could negatively affect point cloud quality, the pole is made from a lightweight but durable aluminum alloy. Reliable locking mechanisms ensure that the scanner remains stable, preventing it from rotating or changing its angle during 3D scanning.

Key advantages of the Extension Pole Kit

Using the XGRIDS K1 Extension Pole Kit offers a number of significant advantages:

• Increased viewing height: raising the scanner up to 2 meters provides a wider field of view, which is especially valuable for scanning ceilings, roofs, and tall architectural elements.
• Access to hard-to-reach areas: with the extender, you can scan objects located high up or behind obstacles without using ladders, increasing safety and reducing preparation time.
• Reduced geometric distortions: scanning from a greater height helps avoid glare and reflections from nearby surfaces, making the point cloud cleaner and more accurate.
• Convenience and time-saving: the ability to scan large objects such as facades or bridges with fewer movements makes work more efficient.
• Maintained mobility: the telescopic design makes the pole easy to transport and store, preserving the portability of the XGRIDS K1 scanner itself.

Application areas of the Extension Pole Kit

• Architecture and restoration: scanning facades, arches, stucco, and other architectural details at height.
• Construction and quality control: inspecting ceilings, engineering communications, and checking seams and joints in hard-to-reach places.
• Infrastructure: scanning bridges, overpasses, supports, and tunnels.
• Geodesy and cartography: expanding coverage when scanning terrains and areas.
• Inspections and monitoring: assessing the condition of roofs, gutters, and other elevated elements without the need for lifting equipment.

Technical specifications of the Extension Pole Kit

• Compatibility: XGRIDS Lixel-K1 3D scanner.
• Mount type: proprietary XGRIDS connector/adapter.
• Maximum length: 2 meters.
• Material: lightweight anodized aluminum alloy.
• Weight: approximately 0.72 kg.

Usage limitations

When using the extender at maximum length, you should consider potential increases in vibration and operator strain. However, thanks to the lightweight K1 scanner and the thoughtfully designed pole, these factors are minimized.
