Hexagon launches fixed-line blue laser scanning sensor

February 20, 2019 – Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division has launched its first blue laser scanning sensor for creating point clouds.

The HP-L-5.8 joins Hexagon’s range of tactile and non-contact sensors for CMMs.

The HP-L-5.8 performs equally well when taking point cloud measurements from dark or shiny surfaces. Designed to be rugged and compact, it protects the sensor from collisions and vibrations and is ideal for use in areas where accessibility is restricted as well as on smaller CMMs.

The HP-L-5.8 is compatible with Hexagon CMMs that use PC-DMIS 2018 R2 and subsequent versions of the software and works with an automatic indexing probe head or continuous wrist.
