 Laser Design’s Wenzel WS-2030 laser scanning system. |
Laser Design Inc. (Minneapolis, MN), a supplier of 3D laser scanners for over 20 years, announced that Schneider Electric (Grenoble, France) installed a Laser Design Wenzel WS-2030 laser scanning system in its Grenoble, France headquarters. Schneider Electric’s headquarters are located in the heart of the Alps, known as the birthplace of hydroelectric power; Schneider was the first company to harness hydroelectric power commercially and now provides comprehensive solutions that combine software, communication, and services for medium and low voltage and ultra terminal distribution, secured power, building automation and security, industrial control, and sensors for repetitive machines.
Laser Design’s Surveyor WS-2030 system includes an SLP-250 laser probe and the company’s mechanically accurate, air-bearing Wenzel CMM system base and patented laser scanning technology. The system features full CMM capability as an option by adding a touch probe and OpenDMIS CMM software. The Surveyor WS-Series systems are also CE rated.
The SLP-250 laser probe is designed for complex profile contour scanning. The high-speed, high-accuracy, non-contact 3D Surveyor laser probe (SLP) captures up to 144,000 points per second. The SLP probe line features digital (ASCII) coordinate 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. The line also features large measurement range, enhanced specularity performance, and automatic adjustments for surface color and finish. Dual CMOS receptors featuring simultaneous scanning assist with steep sidewall and recessed geometry capture.
Laser Design, Inc., is a supplier of ultra-precise, 3D laser scanning systems and services. Used for capturing the 3D shape of objects with complex geometries and free-form surfaces, Laser Design’s Surveyor line of automated and portable scanning systems are designed for 3D scanning applications involving inspection and reverse engineering of complex shaped plastic and metal parts.
