5016 reliability Issues

Post by Gordonniven »

Wanted to know if any other forum members have had reliability issues with the new ZF 5016 scanners. There seems to be backlog of service issues at the factory in Germany.

I assume from the response everyone has no issues. It must be us!! 6 new scanners 4 returned to factory for fault repairs is not a good percentage.

there has been a camera error.. return to factory, an encoder error … return to factory, lens coating error, return to factory.... other error still to be determined on the 4th unit. Overheating of the final 2 in middle east zone. Then of course there is the dome of death if you do not clean the lens every scan...….

Dome of death ... ;-)
I don't clean lens every scan (and I do sometimes more than one undread scans a day).
Yes, I see "the dome" in the preview but filtering data by LaserControl I never had a problem.
Do you use LaserControl, I supposed. I'm right?
have a good day Gordon

The filter gets rid of the dome in laser control but when export to other packages eg Cyclone it is back!!

Gordon,
do you use the export command from lasercontrol and then use the files in the export folder or do you use the zfs file in the main folder of lasercontrol? Because when you use the export command it should be applied the mask and filter (ther is a control box to flag), so the "dome" should not be there after exporting process. Is this your workflow? Which format do you use from lasercontrol to Cyclone? zfs?
have a good day
