Hexagon unveils HP-L-20.8 laser scanner for Romer arm

Hexagon Metrology has introduced the next generation of external laser scanner for use with the latest Romer Absolute Arm. The HP-L-20.8 replaces the CMS108 laser scanner, offering improved performance even on complex surfaces and workpieces made of shiny materials such as machined, cast, stamped or forged metals, carbon fibre and others.

By combining the HP-L-20.8 and the latest generation of Romer Absolute Arms (launched in March 2014), Hexagon says it offers its customers a portable coordinate measuring system with fully-certified scanning system accuracy. The adjustable scanning width of the HP-L-20.8, with a line length of up to 230 mm and a scan rate of up to 150,000 points per second for high speed 3D point cloud capturing, means surfaces can be captured more rapidly than ever before. The HP-L-20.8 is the first laser scanner for the Romer Absolute Arm to be certified to the latest ISO 10360-8 standard.
