the new L100NX introduces blue laser technology, providing improved scanning performance, accuracy and user experience
LK Metrology, a provider of precision metrology solutions, has launched a next-generation laser scanner designed for use on coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). Following the L100, the new L100NX introduces blue laser technology, providing improved scanning performance, accuracy and user experience
The L100NX employs a 450-nanometre blue light laser which reduces noise in scan data for cleaner and more reliable measurements, this advance is beneficial for sectors where data integrity is vital such as aerospace and automotive.
The new scanner integrates speed and accuracy with a wide stripe width of 110mm and a scanning rate of up to 530,000 points per second, so it is able to inspect large components productively.
The L100NX includes LK’s 4th-generation enhanced sensor performance (ESP) technology, which can intelligently adjust laser power for all 2,000 points on the laser line. This enables the scanner to measure multi-material assemblies and shiny surfaces without surface preparation or other manual intervention.
The sensor also features an integrated rotation adaptor, allowing optimal orientation of the scanner for inspecting complex part geometries, and an integrated field of view projector visually displays the scanner’s coverage area onto the part, making set up and programming simpler.
Kristof Peeters, product manager for laser scanners at LK Metrology, said, "The L100NX represents a major leap forward in laser scanning technology. By combining blue laser precision with intelligent sensor performance and user-friendly features, we’re delivering a solution that meets the evolving needs of modern manufacturing. The launch of the L100NX underscores LK Metrology’s commitment to developing innovative metrology equipment that empowers customers to achieve greater efficiency and accuracy in their inspection processes.”
