LC60Dx - Cost-effective general purpose CMM laser scanner

Accurate non-contact measuring technology

Powerful CMOS technology incorporated into LC60Dx translates into higher measuring accuracy, resulting in a typical MPEp value of 7 micron according to EN ISO 10360-5. This brings the all-digital scanner in the accuracy range of tactile measurement. E.g. The Multi-stylus accuracy test is comparable to EN/ISO 10360-5 MPEal and scans a sphere with 5 different scanner
orientations. Then the 3D deviation is calculated between the center of each sphere that’s fit through a single pointcloud and the center of the average sphere.

Ideal for measuring soft and fragile parts

Measuring soft, fragile or brittle parts potentially yield inaccurate measurements or surface scratches. As laser scanning technology is entirely non-contact, there is no risk for damage or inaccurate measurement. An example of such an application is the dimensional inspection of engine sand cores.

Superfast scanning

The LC60Dx laser scanner captures 75,000 measurement points per second. By acquiring a multitude of measurement points, the scanner is able to reliably digitize freeform shapes and geometric features. Both are critical for high-quality assembly and part mating.

Scanning nearly every material surface with ESP3

ESP3 incorporates dynamic point-per-point laser intensity adaptation of laser source intensity. This capability allows different surface materials, finishes and transitions to be scanned without user interaction, eliminating manual parameter tuning and part spraying altogether. ESP is a key differentiator when scanning similar parts in different manufacturing stages; initially dealing with bare sheet metal parts and finally scanning finished products painted in any color.

Seamless retrofit for most leading CMM brands

As applicable to all Nikon Metrology CMM scanners, the LC60Dx scanners can be retrofitted on a wide range of CMM brands to boost inspection productivity of existing CMM installations anywhere in the world.

Premium reliability in any working conditions

Nikon Metrology development engineers optimized scanner design for maximum operational stability and robustness. Critical in this regard is that principal scanner components are mounted in an ultra-stiff tress-free aluminum housing.
Special attention is paid to temperature stability by design and temperature compensation algorithms in order to minimize warm-up time and guarantee reliable accuracy under shop floor conditions.

Compatible with Renishaw indexing heads and change racks

The LC60Dx scanners are compatible with common Renishaw indexing heads. The scanners also fit in the ACR racks and can be used in combination with tactile probes for e.g. alignment of the part. By docking a scanner in an dedicated ARC3 rack, zero warm-up time is obtained resulting in maximum productivity.

Available as CMM or portable scanner

In the case companies own fixed-bed CMMs and articulated arms, the LC60Dx uniquely allows to easily exchange the scanner between CMM and MCA II portable arms. In this way, most of the digitizing work can be done with one single laser scanner.
