New 3D Laser Probe

By DE Editors

Laser Design, Inc. (Minneapolis, MN) released a new 3D laser-scanning probe with an extra long laser line and dual CMOS receptors. The lightweight SLP-2000 laser probe has an 8-in. laser line length and captures 50,000 to 75,000 points per second, depending on the application.

Standard dual CMOS receptors with simultaneous scanning assist with steep sidewall and recessed geometry capture. The dual receptors reduce the number of scanning passes because they capture much more part geometry per pass than single receptor laser probes.

The SLP-2000 probes, which weigh less than a pound, are fully integrated with the portable 7-axis arms from Faro Technologies Inc., as well as with Laser Design’s Surveyor Scan Control software and Surveyor 3D scanning systems.

The new SLP-2000 can be used interchangeably with portable Faro CMMs, traditional CMMs, and Laser Design’s own Surveyor DS, CS, DT, and TS-Series 3D Laser Scanning Systems.

In addition to the SLP-2000, Laser Design has SLP-330 and SLP-450 laser probe models.  For more information, visit laserdesign.com.
