(Nikon Metrology: Brighton, MI) -- For more than a decade, the LC15Dx laser scanner manufactured by the Industrial Metrology Business Unit of Nikon Corp. has been a global benchmark for efficient measurement and inspection of manufactured components, especially those having complex free-form geometry, such as turbine blades, orthopedic implants, and intricate plastic parts. Compatible for use with all industry-leading metrology platforms and software, a new version of the sensor has been launched with significantly upgraded functionality in several key areas.

The LC15Dx is certified according to ISO 10360-8, the industry standard for the performance of CMM laser scanning devices. The “ISO 10360‐8 Probing size error All” on the new device is one-third better than the previous (10 rather than 15 microns), so the scanner is able to deliver more accurate and repeatable dimensional measurements very close to those achieved using a tactile probe.
