So I am looking into scanning heads and I don't really know much about them. First off what are the benefits of having a scanning head? I know it can decrease measurement times and increase accuracy due to the elimination of the lobing effect but what are some of the other benefits?
Secondly, what should I look for in a scanning head. We make plastic parts and the tolerances aren't super tight (.001" at the tightest) but I do have splines to measure and they are becoming more and more frequent.
Third, How difficult is it to learn how to use a scanning head on my own? Never used one before but I pick things up pretty quickly.
Thanks for the help.
What information do you all need to make a more educated decision?
