Perceptron offers CMM multi-sensor capability as new or retrofit

Perceptron has launched a CNC multi-sensor CMM solution that integrates touch-probe and laser scanning functionality into a single measuring station.

Called the Perceptron Expert CMM, it offers full point-cloud geometric feature extraction and direct comparison to CAD for automated inspection of parts.

Full feature extraction from point-cloud rather than rendered STL format provides for faster and more accurate measurements, says the company. In addition, the Perceptron ScanR scanner is available with a standard red laser line, and optionally with a green laser to extend the dynamic range, allowing scanning of both reflective and black parts.

The Expert CMM package includes the CMM, motorised probe head, touch-probe, ScanR laser sensor, and sensor change rack and touch-metrology software with point-cloud functionality. It can be supplied with any size and configuration CMM from the Perceptron Coord3 range, or retrofitted to existing customer-installed CMMs.
