White Light Scanning

We are looking into purchasing a new White Light scanner for our use here (possibly for a CMM replacement) and I thought Id get some opinions from any potential users (brands or prefered software) out there in the PCDMIS user collective.

The white light scanner wont be running PCDMIS of course.

  • We have a Metris LC50 scanner connected up to our Brown & Sharpe Exel 9-12-9 and it works fine. As Matt suggested earlier it is not as accurate as the CMM but works fine for some of our applications where tolerances are generous. We have its accuracy at about 0.012microns maybe slightly less.

    It comes with its own Metris software for using the laser and point cloud filtering etc but we use Imageware surfacing to create the non-geometric surfaces. Depending on what you are connecting it to you may need some work done on your controller, we had to and it did get a bit costly
