Laser Radar MV331/351 Automated large volume inspection NIKON METROLOGY I VISION BEYOND PRECISION

The Nikon Laser Radar is a versatile metrology system used for fast, automated and non-contact inspection of objects ranging in size from a car door to an entire aircraft wing. As such, the Laser Radar overcomes the limitations of traditional metrology systems like CMMs, laser trackers and photogrammetry systems by improving throughput, reducing the labor requirements and increasing measurement repeatability. This revolutionary measuring instrument is suited for repetitive, complex, hard-to-reach, delicate and labor-intensive inspection tasks in automotive, aerospace, renewable energy and...

SLASHING INSPECTION TIME Automated, non-contact inspection saves on process and labor overhead The Laser Radar offers non-contact inspection, true single-person operation, and supports off-line programming for completely automated and unattended operation, reducing operating costs. The Laser Radar’s patented technology enables direct surface and feature measurements at high data rates. As a result, the Laser Radar eliminates the need for photogrammetry targets, spherically mounted retro-reﬂectors (SMRs) and handheld probes. Flexibility in measuring surfaces and finishes Recapturing one...
