ROMER Introduces CMS108 Inspection and Reverse Engineering Solution

By DE Editors

ROMER Inc., a brand of Hexagon Metrology Inc., has launched the CMS108, a non-contact laser scanner available for their portable coordinate measuring machines. Romer says the CMS108 is adept at scanning a range of materials with enhanced sensitivity to color and surface finishes. It mounts with a kinematic joint to the seven-axis ROMER portable CMMs, which include the Absolute Arm SE and the Infinite 2.0 SC Arm.

The CMS108 has an accuracy of 20 microns, according to the company. Flying dot technology allows the laser scanner to rapidly detect changes in color and surfaces via their reflectivity. Romer says the laser scanner can transition from matte to shiny features without additional calibration.  With three different line widths and differing point densities, the CMS108 is able to perform inspection routines on small intricate parts and large surfaces. 

“With versatility and an exceptional data collection rate, we now offer an incredibly accurate scanner capable of inspecting different consecutive surfaces on the fly with no adjustments,” says Eric Hollenbeck, Hexagon Metrology’s product manager for portable products. “The CMS108 system integrates our industry leading Scanning System Specification which specifies and calibrates the arm and scanner as a single unit.”

The CMS108 is currently available for the seven-axis Absolute Arm SE with measuring ranges of 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, and 4.5 meters. The sensor can also be added as an upgrade to the seven-axis Infinite 2.0 SC Arm.
