Complete solution for laser scanning directly on the machine tool

The LS-C-5.8 enhances productivity by using laser scanning technology developed for coordinate measuring machines and portable measuring arms to capture the complete surface data for a part directly on machine tools.

Accurate machine tool measurement typically involves capturing data for a limited number of points on a part. With a metrology-grade laser scanner integrated into the machine tool, users can quickly capture and analyse a complete, data-rich image of a part and act to address flaws while the part is still clamped. The results bring new levels of speed, precision and flexibility to machine tool inspection, while minimising the need for external measurement devices.

Equipped with a blue line laser, the LS-C-5.8 quickly and precisely captures data equally well on shiny or dark surfaces. Its compact design and large field of view make it possible to use on most kinds of parts and machine tools. Its intuitive, highly functional software is compatible with controls from Fanuc, Siemens and Heidenhain.
Creation of clear colour maps 
The LS-C-5.8 system captures thousands of measurement points every second. It lets users visualise surface data in easy-to-use colour maps and compare results to the digital model of the part.

Measuring freeform surfaces
Measuring freeform surfaces on the machine tool typically involves creating and analysing many single measurement points. With a laser scanner, users can quickly capture complete surface data and compare it to the CAD model.

Exact alignment before reworking

Having a full picture of the surface makes it easier to identify and errors that arise during manufacturing, such as incorrect clamping, and use precise alignment to address.

Reverse engineering 

Not all parts have 3D models. The LS-C-5.8 creates them by scanning a part while it is on the machine tool, allowing the resulting data to be exported as an stp-file and integrated into a CAD-program.

Bringing together the best components
The LS-C-5.8 system is optimised to deliver accurate measurement results quickly.

Sensor
The compact sensor was originally developed for coordinate measuring machines and its sturdy build makes it perfectly suited for use on the machine tool.

Tool holder
Hexagon offers a wide range of standard and customised tool holders.

Controller
The C300 controller provides monitoring and swift communication and coordination between software, the sensor and machines.

Software
The system’s software is intuitive in design and functionality and addresses the specific challenges of laser measurement on a machine tool.

Accessories
All necessary cables and calibration artefacts are delivered as part of the system to ensure smooth ongoing functioning from day one.
