LK Metrology Portable Measuring Arms

All 34 portable measuring arms offered in 6-axis touch-probing and 7-axis multi-sensor variants by LK Metrology, Castle Donington, are now supplied as standard with a 4.5 inch diameter mounting ring to allow the unit to sit on a larger base, rather than that provided by the previous 3.5 inch ring. The result of having this extra stability is that the new Version 3 FREEDOM Arms are capable of measuring to higher precision. A mounting ring adapter can be supplied if an existing user already owns an LK tripod or stand with a 3.5 inch mount. Mechanical, magnetic and vacuum fixing alternatives are available.

Why 3D scan? - full field data set

Why 3D scan? - full field data set

One of the major advantages of 3D scanning is it creates “full field data set” or sometime it’s called “digital twin”. The CMM has done a great job when it comes to collecting just enough data accurately and reliably for dimensional inspection purposes. What the CMM is focused on is to verify pre-defined features/dimensions to determine if parts are good or bad. However, when things go wrong and more information is needed to further analyze the root causes it takes a lot of efforts and tedious work to get enough useful information.
