Leuven, Jan 16th 2004 - Metris, the leader in scanning solutions, has released the XC50 Cross Scanner. The Cross Scanner is a patented high-speed, multi-stripe laser sensor targeting the inspection of features and gap & step in automotive applications. The Cross Scanner enables more efficient scanning of features such as holes, slots, pockets and gap & step between car body panels.

Changing the way feature scanning is done…
Laser scanners have a proven track record in first article inspection, off-line inspection and troubleshooting. Compared to touch probe measurements, laser scanning provides faster measurements and full part information. However using a singe stripe laser scanner for inspection of features such as holes, slots, gap & step remains a challenge.
Scanning a complete part with a single stripe laser scanner requires multiple scans from different directions. Also scanning features requires at least three scans to obtain sufficient information to get accurate measurements. The cross scanner introduces a new patented technical concept that enables to accurately measure features in a single scan by combining 3 laser scanners rotated over 120 degrees.

Main advantages
The XC50 Cross Scanner introduces following advantages:
• Higher speed and increased flexibility
o Less Renishaw PH10 orientations needed compared to a single stripe laser scanner
o No need for a motorized sixth axis (C-axis)
• Better part coverage since the object is simultaneously scanned from 3 directions
• Real 3D measurement resulting in an accurate 3D representation of the feature
