ROMER introduces a new era in part inspection with the world's first Real-Time Laser Scanning Inspection (LSI) system, allowing inspection of parts with or without CAD models using a laser scanning probe to collect data. ROMER coordinate measuring machines bring all the benefits of articulating arm measurement to laser scanning, allowing access to those difficult-to-reach locations on the inside, topside and underside of the work-piece.

LSI provides real-time surface inspection by comparing each point scanned with the laser probe to a CAD model in real-time. The system collects and analyzes more than 23,000 points per second for far more detailed inspection of both geometric and surface features than would be practical with a convention hard probe. A color gradient graphic indicates whether the points are in tolerance, above tolerance or below tolerance and instantly produces a color “weather map” of the points on the screen.

LSI also provides real-time geometric inspection by enabling scanning of features including circles, slots, square slots, rectangles, planes, spheres and cylinders in real-time at more than 23,000 points per second for fast, accurate and easy measurement. Much faster than hard probing, it gives you thousands of points to define a feature with precision!
