Laser Scanners Transition to Automatic CMM Measurements
Laser line scanners are well respected and intensely utilized on manual portable arm coordinate measuring devices, for both reverse engineering and part inspection, in numerous industries, including automotive, aerospace, tooling, and prototyping. The use of laser line scanners on traditional fully automatic CMM’s has been presented at trade-shows for more than a decade. Only in more recent years have they started to perform the front line role envisaged in production part inspection.
