FreeScan Track Nova
Overview:
Calibration is a critical process that ensures the FreeScan Trak Nova delivers accurate and consistent scan results. We highly recommend performing calibration weekly, especially if your workflow requires high-precision 3D scanning.
⚠️ Important: Before beginning calibration, make sure to warm up the UE Nova, and TE Nova until their internal temperatures stabilize. (about 35°C)
1. UE Nova Trak Calibration
This is the first step in the process and consists of 90 calibration stages across three different calibration rod postures.
Steps:
Scan the QR code on the calibration rod using the software.
Begin calibration following software indication.
Use the on-screen views to guide the calibration:
Left side shows the front view of the UE Nova and rod height.
Right side shows the top view and the distance between the UE Nova and the rod.
Calibration Rod Positions:
First 30 steps: Hold the calibration rod vertically.
Second 30 steps: Rotate the rod to a horizontal position.
Final 30 steps: Tilt the rod to the side as shown in the software.
Once all sets of 30 steps are complete, the UE Nova Trak calibration is finished.
2. System Calibration (TE Nova)
After UE Nova trak calibration, you can either begin scanning or proceed with system calibration to align the TE Nova and UE Nova.
Preparation:
Place the calibration board on a flat surface, with the markers facing the EU Nova.
Adjust the UE Nova tripod height for optimal marker visibility.
Ensure no markers on TE Nova are blocked during the process.
UI Guide:
The central ring graphic indicates the distance between the TE Nova and calibration board.
The X and Y axes represent angular positioning.
You can also use your mouse to move view within the software helping you find the correct position.
3. UE Nova Laser Calibration
If you intend to use UE Nova separately, you must perform its dedicated laser calibration.
Steps:
Scan the QR code on the calibration rod.
Place the rod on the ground using provided supports
Unfold and place the calibration board horizontally around the rod.
? The process is similar to handheld scanner calibration. Ensure proper distance and angle during scanning.
Once calibration is complete, the UE Nova is ready for use.
Final Notes
Perform calibration regularly to maintain high scan accuracy.
Follow on-screen instructions carefully for each posture and stage.
Always ensure equipment is warmed up and stable before starting.
