Featured at IMTS 2014: External Laser Scanner

Hexagon Metrology will showcasethe HP-L-20.8 probe laser, a newgenerationexternal laser scanner foruse with the Romer Absolute Arm.

This probe laser, which replaces theCMS108 laser scanner, has improvedperformance on complex surfaces andworkpieces made of shiny materials,such as machined, cast, stamped, andforged metals and plastics and carbonfiber, the company states.

By combining this laser scannerwith the new generation of portablearms the company created a portablecoordinate measuring system withfully certified scanning system accuracy.The adjustable scanning width ofthe laser scanner creates a line lengthof up to 230 mm and has a scan rateof up to 150,000 points per secondfor high-speed 3-D point cloud capturing.

The laser scanner requires no additionalcables or external controllers tobe integrated with the portable arm.

Manual setting of the laser poweraccording to the surface color or reflectivityis not required as the patentedscanning technology automaticallyadapts in real time. Multisensortechnology enables seamless changebetween scanning and probing withthe touch of a button.
