ScanR from Perceptron – world’s first green laser for CMMs

ScanR represents the sixth generation of CMM laser scanners from Perceptron, extending the range of engineering materials that can be laser-scanned and offering a significant customer advantage over red and blue laser scanners when scanning highly reflective and carbon fibre parts. ScanR is integrated into Perceptron’s TouchDMIS metrology software.

The latest generation of ScanR CMM laser scanner is said to solve many of the age-old application problems associated with laser scanning, providing the following enhancements:

  • Greater dynamic range (wider coverage of colour spectrum and reflectivity)
  • Improved material coverage (carbon fibre, polished metal, plated metal)
  • Increased accuracy (thinner laser line with higher signal to noise ratio)
  • Improved edge detection (sub-pixel optimisation)
  • Adjustable data acquisition rate for high quality and high speed operation
  • Large field of view and depth of view
  • Universal adaptability for any brand of CMM or PCMM
  • Laser and electronics package fully contained in the scanner head
