Laser scanning provides quick, accurate
results
The Laser Design WS-2030 high-speed, high-accuracy automated 3D laser scanning system dramatically reduces Schneider Electric's inspection time.
Schneider Electric has installed a Laser Design Wenzel WS-2030 laser scanning system in its Grenoble, France headquarters C Martin Schuster, President of Laser Design said "Schneider's installation of several Laser Design Surveyor scanners at their production facilities on several continents is testament to their confidence in Laser Design's 3D scanning inspection systems and their ability to operate 24/7 within a Six Sigma environment"

Extra-long laser probe scans larger objects
Laser Design has developed a new 3D laser scanning probe with an extra long laser line and dual CMOS receptors.
Software is integrated with 3D laser scanners
Laser Design has announced the immediate availability of Geomagic Studio Version 9, which is completely integrated into its line of 3D laser scanning systems.
Schuster said "The Laser Design WS-2030 high-speed, high-accuracy automated 3D laser scanning system dramatically reduces their inspection time, reduces labour costs and raises the overall knowledge of part verification to improve their first article inspection process significantly".
Increased productivity is a major benefit companies accrue when they use this completely automated turnkey system for a wide variety of parts, objects or tooling for either inspection or reverse engineering applications.
The Surveyor WS-2030 system has an SLP-250 laser probe has an air-bearing Wenzel CMM system base and laser scanning technology from Laser Design.
The WS-2030 is suitable for digitising difficult shapes.
The system features can include CMM capability with the addition of a touch probe and OpenDMIS CMM software.
The Surveyor WS-series is also CE-rated, making it suitable for European customers such as Schneider France.
The SLP-250 laser probe is ideal for complex profile contour scanning.
The high-speed, high-accuracy, noncontact 3D Surveyor Laser Probe (SLP) captures up to 144,000 points per second.
The SLP probe line features digital (ASCII) co-ordinate output, a visible beam, a Class II rating for safe and easy-to-see operations and a long standoff to prevent crashes during part scanning.
Its large measurement range, enhanced specularity performance and automatic adjustments for surface colour and finish ensure excellent results.
Dual CMOS receptors featuring simultaneous scanning assist with steep sidewall and recessed geometry capture.
