The HP-L-5.8 makes it easy and affordable to add the speed and measurement coverage of laser scanning to new and existing CMMs.

Like other HP-L laser scanners, the HP-L-5.8 turns a CMM into a multisensor machine that combines traditional tactile probing with optical measurement, such as freeform surface capture, in a single part program.

Designed for use with a wide range of applications and measurement surfaces, the HP-L-5.8 fixed-line blue laser scanning sensor is accurate whether surfaces are very dark or shiny. Its compact form also makes it suitable for creating point clouds where workpiece accessibility is restricted and with smaller CMMs. And its rugged design protects the sensor from damage by collisions and vibrations.

The HP-L-5.8 comes equipped with Hexagon’s Kinematic Joint and is compatible with existing Hexagon probe heads and accessories, including automatic sensor changing racks and extensions.

All HP-L laser scanners conform to the latest ISO 10360-8:2013 standard. The measurements rely on traceable sphere and plane artefacts. Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence also supplies the necessary artefacts – certified by an accredited laboratory – for on-site verification of sensor results, to provide the highest confidence in optical probing.
