The Airscan can cover an 80' radius from the scanner itself @ approximately 190 degrees.
It will accurately scan things from about an inch away to about 40' (in my experience). Because it is a device that sends out a laser on a radius, the farther away from the source you go, the further away the beams and the lower the resolution.
For your application, that shouldn't matter.
What's even better is that this device is IP 66 (or higher... it is made to work around a lot of dust and particles) So you could put it outside... there is even a version with a heater in it... if you're in need of that kind of thing.
