New laser scanner offers shiny surface capabilities for improved accuracy and speed in contact measurement.
If one trend in contact measurement is clear, it is that the start gun has been fired in the race to capture thousands of points per second at greater accuracy and speed for heightened inspection and reverse engineering performance. Among those in the lead is a new laser scanner that uniquely offers shiny surface scanning capabilities down to 8 micro inches lapped finishes. According to Giles Gaskell, director of new business development for NVision Inc. (Southlake, TX), this new technology outpaces conventional laser scanners when it comes to savings in accuracy, time and money.
