Tactile scanning enhances the capabilities of the GLOBAL Scan+. By rapidly capturing a large number of surface points, tactile scanning enables highly accurate measurements of shape and profile on various items. The GLOBAL Scan+ combines the flexibility of an automated probe head with tactile scanning capabilities.
Accessing complex workpieces becomes easier thanks to the scanning probe’s ability to be positioned in various orientations. Additionally, an integrated styli changer rack allows for quick changes of stylus configurations within a measuring program, all without reducing the available measurement volume. This feature accelerates the inspection process significantly.
Features and Benefits
Robust Mechanical Design
Consistent accuracy throughout the measuring volume and long-term system stability are ensured by a strong granite foundation with an integrated dovetail guide.
Triangular Crossbeam Bridge
This design offers a superior stiffness-to-mass ratio compared to square or rectangular traverses, allowing for maximum dynamics and high-speed observations.
Preloaded Air Bearings on All Axes
Low measuring uncertainties are achieved through contactless, low-friction, and low-wear axis motion, ensuring quick and reproducible placement at all speeds and accelerations.
Belt Drive System with Low Maintenance Requirements
The use of flat and V-rib belts guarantees smooth, low-vibration axis motion.
Temperature Compensation
Reliable measurement results are achieved by monitoring temperatures at both the scales and the workpiece. This real-time compensation addresses thermally induced measurement discrepancies.
