Real 3D Measurement through Multi-laser Technology

Metris launches the multi-laser XC65D scanner that captures all 3D details of features, edges, pockets, ribs and freeform surfaces in a single scan. The Cross Scanner’s entirely digital operation boosts scanning frequency and drives intelligent laser intensity adaptation to scan any surface without user interaction. The superior performance of XC65D further accelerates the Digital Inspection Process, providing better insight, more flexibility and much higher productivity. Incorporating three lasers in a cross pattern, the XC65D obtains a full 3D view that accurately captures the bore of a hole or the flanges of a notch. In this way geometric features can be extracted from the acquired point cloud with higher confidence and accuracy. The XC65D avoids taking multiple scans of the same feature using different scanner paths and orientations, eliminating time-consuming probe head indexing and drastically reducing overall inspection time. With laser stripes being projected from three sides, the XC65D also provides maximum coverage of complex surfaces with many ribs and pockets.
