Let’s review : Control 2025
in the measurement of part features; hyper-fine scanning for capturing details of complex objects with maximum resolution; photogrammetry to maintain best accuracy over large objects; deep- hole scanning for hard-to-reach areas and holes; and large-area scanning for capturing sizeable features. On the opposite side of the aisle sat Keyence, which was keen to showcase the virtues of the company’s new VL-800 series 3D Scanner CMM, the first in its line-up to feature 3D-AI for the effortless acquisition and analysis of high-quality 3D data. According to Konstantin Otto, Area Product Sales Manager, the system intelligently recommends optimal scanning, stitching and measurement methods based on the shape of the part under scrutiny. The stand of Micro-Epsilon showcased the company’s new 3D Profile Unit, which
Another stand-out CMM at Control 2025 was Wenzel’s new LH1210. Measuring a crankshaft at the exhibition, Wenzel developed this hybrid machine to offer greater measuring accuracy and speed. The LH1210 can support tactile measuring systems such as the Renishaw REVO five-axis measurement system and optical sensor solutions like the Wenzel LS 150, as well as the company’s CT solution for non-destructive metrological testing. A good example of the portable CMM technology on show was the new PMT GAMMA, which is available in the UK from Manchester Metrology. Designed for high-precision, flexible and real-time inspection/measurement, PMT Gamma 3D measuring arms are built with lightweight aerospace-grade carbon fibre and offer enhanced stability and usability with their dual-suspension support structure. The range includes three models catering to various budgets and applications. Leap forward With FARO’s new Leap ST 3D handheld scanner, the company is very much focusing on application versatility. Peter Bambridge, Senior Account Manager at Faro UK, was on hand to demonstrate this new compact, high-accuracy scanner with no less than five operating modes: ultra-fast scanning for speedy coverage
