A combination laser scanning metrology package combines a Brown & Sharpe Global Performance bridge CMM with a ROMER INFINITE 2.0, 7-axis portable arm with a ScanShark V4ix laser scanner that is plug-and-play.
The key to the intercompatibility is the TESA kinematic joint that is shared between all ROMER scanning arms and TESASTAR-m equipped bridge machines. Companies can invest in a single scanner that can be leveraged to the strengths of two different types of measuring platforms.
Shared systems can do double duty as inspection systems, and by performing reverse engineering and 3D point cloud gathering tasks. Either machine is also capable of performing point-to-point inspection on its own without the scanner being attached, so both machines can be used simultaneously, regardless of which one happens to be using the laser scanner.
A shared scanner package comes complete with a Brown & Sharpe Global Performance bridge CMM (there are nine standard sizes available), a ROMER INFINITE 2.0, 7-axis arm (there are six standard sizes available), a ScanShark V4ix probe, complete cabling, software and control boxes for each system, plus application software and a computer for each system. The packages are available for immediate shipment.
