with VAST XT
Fast and accurate: active scanning with VAST XT
The size, position and location of an object canonly be accurately determined if the shape is
known. The exact shape can only be accurately
and quickly determined with multi-point measu-
ring (scanning).Minimum circumscribed circle determinedusing scanning values
Compensating circle calculated from the 4 single points
Maximum inscribed circle determined using
scanning values
Shape evaluation
Single point (4-point measuring)

VAST technology: active ● Maximum accuracy resulting from constantmeasuring force, inductively delivered viaelectronic springs.Maximum flexibility as a result of: >
stable lowmeasuring force ● Styli lengths up to 500 mm ● Styli weight up to 500 g >
main axes ● Smallest sphere diameter of 0.6 mm ● Asymmetrical stylus configurations ● Continued use of previous stylus configurations on adapter plates ● VAST plates offer a larger mechanical base, thus higher reproducibility ● Self-centering probing >
