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.
