Hexagon’s HP-L-8.9 scanner boosts Romer arms

Product Launches

Hexagon Metrology has unveiled a newly developed non-contact sensor, the HP-L-8.9 laser scanner. Designed to be positioned at an affordable price point, the scanner promises to make handheld 3D laser scanning accessible to manufacturers that, until now, were unable to justify investment in this technology.

Installed in minutes on any 6-axis model of Hexagon Metrology's Romer Absolute Arm portable coordinate measuring machine (PCMM), the HP-L-8.9 is said to offer high speed point cloud capture.

The scanner is compatible with all major PCMM software and, thanks to the automatic probe recognition of the Romer Absolute Arm, there is no need to calibrate the sensor, reducing training requirements to a minimum so that operators can be up and running as soon as possible.
