 Underwater Laser Scanning: Accurately Measure As-Built Features    

Newton Labs developed and manufactures underwater laser scanning measurement systems specifically designed to operate in saltwater, freshwater or in-vessel nuclear environments.

Newton underwater laser scanners enable engineers to easily observe, identify and precisely quantify rust, wear, fissures and corrosion of components. Each scanner model outputs a point cloud so detailed, that when utilized with industry-standard three-dimensional software, a fully measurable CAD model can be generated.

The M200UW is versatile laser scanner specifically designed to operate underwater that also provides for in-air use. The system combines rugged, industrial-grade hardware and electronics with sophisticated, Newton-developed software that compensates for the disruptions of refraction, turbulence and suspended particulates, characteristic of the underwater environment. The M200UW is designed to operate in a range of 6.0 in. to 3.0 ft. (150 mm to 900 mm).

The NM200UW is designed to operate
in-vessel to provide precise, reliable and efficient dimensioning of as-built features, as well as to track cycle-to-cycle degradation of components.
The accuracy of the NM200UW as-built measurements enable reliable 3-D CAD files to be generated, so that any in-vessel replacement parts needing to be fabricated require little or no, on-site reworking in order to achieve a proper fit.

The M300UW is designed to operate underwater with an effective scanning distance of between 1.5 feet and 10 feet (0.46m to 3m) from a target surface. The M300UW extends the usage range of measurements, compared to the M200UW, by a factor of more than three times, potentially shortening large project scanning time for the dimensioning of cracks, welds and other structural, man-made or geological features.
