CMM integrates touch-probe, laser scanning functions

Perceptron has launched a CNC multisensor CMM that integrates touch-probe and laser scanning functionality into a single measuring station operated by touch software. The Expert CMM offers full point-cloud geometric feature extraction and direct comparison to CAD for automated inspection of production parts.

The TouchCloud™ software module add-on for its TouchDMIS™ software helps reduce the necessary user skill level. Full feature extraction from point-cloud rather than rendered STL format provides for faster and more accurate measurements, says the company. Part features can be touch-probed or laser-scanned depending on feature type and tolerance.

The ScanR™ scanner is available with a standard red laser line and optionally with a green laser to extend dynamic range, allowing scanning of both highly reflective and black parts.
