A paradigm for feature measurements
The Cross Scanner is a revolutionary new 3D laser scanner for feature measurement. The Cross Scanner is a patented high-speed, multi-stripe laser sensor that enables more efficient 3D scanning of features such as holes, slots and gap & step that are typically inspected in automotive applications.
Key features of 3D laser scanner
- Patented multi-stripe, multi-angle laser scanner viewing 3 laser stripes from 3 angles
- True 3D measurement opposed to classical 2 1/2D optical measurement
- Optimal point distribution in all directions
- Fully compatible with Renishaw PH10 and ACR-3 exchange rack
- Automated qualification of the PH10 orientations
- Easy macro based path programming
- Available for integration in native CMM software applications
Key benefits of 3D laser scanner
- No re-orientation during scanning:
- No need for an extra C-axis
- Faster digitizing
- True 3D digitizing resulting in high accuracy feature measurements
Applications
- Feature inspection
- Gap and flush
- Sheet metal inspection: slot, holes, etc
- Molded plastics: e.g. cell phones
