Mechasys XR Projector

Experience a fundamentally better way to lay out a construction site with the Mechasys XR Projector. Rather than translating coordinates from a field controller to a physical point on the floor, the XR Projector beams your full design directly onto the surface in front of you — lines, arcs, text, curves, and points all rendered at full scale with sub-3mm accuracy.

Whether you are laying out partition walls, acoustical ceilings, MEP systems, soffits, or complex curved geometry, the XR Projector handles it all from a single setup. The system is completely standalone: no prisms, no poles, no second operator. Set it up in minutes using control lines, control points, or existing site features, and the onboard SmartScan technology performs a 3D scan of the surface to detect deviations and obstacles before projecting. Real-time adjustments to your CAD design can be made on the tablet and saved instantly, with modification reports exportable on demand for quality control documentation. Global 4G/LTE connectivity keeps your field data synced to the office in real time.

Key Features

• Proprietary Fiber Optic Laser Technology: reduces beam dot size and enhances pointing stability under varying conditions, delivering consistent sub-3mm accuracy.
• SmartScan 3D Surface Scanning: automatically scans the work surface to detect deviations and obstacles before projection begins, ensuring every point is accurate.
• 2D & 3D Projection on Floors and Ceilings: project onto any horizontal or overhead surface, even at multiple elevations, from a single instrument position.
• Single-Operator Workflow: no survey poles, prisms, or additional crew required. One person sets up, projects, and captures QC data independently.
• Layer-Based Projection Control: segment your layout by CAD layers directly from your original file for clear trade coordination and optimized productivity.
• Real-Time CAD Adjustments: modify plans on the tablet to match field conditions. Changes are saved and exportable immediately.
• Global IoT Connectivity (4G/LTE): instantly share field reports and quality control data with the project team from anywhere on site.
• Compact & Portable: weighing just 11 kg, the XR Projector ships with a backpack hard case for easy transport up stairs and through congested job sites.
• IP54-Rated for Jobsite Use: built to withstand dust, moisture, and the vibrations of an active construction environment.
• 3-Hour Onboarding: a straightforward graphical interface and guided setup mean most operators are fully productive within a single training session.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Mechasys XR Projector

What is the Mechasys XR Projector?
The Mechasys XR Projector is a robotic laser projector that displays construction drawings at full 1 to 1 scale directly onto floors, walls, and ceilings. Instead of marking points and connecting them, the crew installs directly to a projected image of the design.

How does laser projection layout work on a construction site?
The projector establishes its position from control points, control lines, or existing site features, then projects the design at actual size onto the work surface. Crews see the full layout at once, including complex shapes and curves that are slow to mark by hand, and can install against the projection in real time.

How accurate is laser projection layout for MEP installation?
The XR Projector delivers sub 1/8” precision, which suits hanger layout, sleeve placement, ductwork, and equipment locations where a fraction of an inch of drift creates rework downstream.

What is the range of the Mechasys XR Projector?
The XR Projection has 60 feet of working range on each setup. Once an area is laid out, simply move the projector around the site until the entire layout is complete.

What file formats does the Mechasys XR Projector accept?
The XR Projector works from BIM and CAD files exported from standard design platforms.

Can the Mechasys XR be used for ceiling grid and hanger layout?
Yes. Overhead work is where projection shines. Rather than transferring points up from the floor, the design is projected directly onto the deck or ceiling, so hangers, grid, and sleeves are installed against the actual drawing.

What trades benefit most from laser projection layout?
Interior systems, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing contractors see the biggest gain, particularly on metal stud track, MEP systems, hanger layout, and complex overhead work. Any trade installing a lot of repeated points, lines, or curved and irregular geometry saves the most time.

Who is the Mechasys XR Projector dealer or distributor in the United States?
Site Precision is an authorized Mechasys dealer serving Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, and Wisconsin, based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. We provide equipment, training, implementation support, and ongoing service
