LASER SCANNERS
VIVID SLK20
High accuracy, high resolution blue laser CMM scanner
Thanks to VIVID laser scanner technology from LK Metrology, the SLK20 provides quality professionals with an opportunity to maximize efficiency when measuring complex surfaces, small details, fragile parts, dark materials and reflective surfaces – by overcoming the limitations of tactile inspection and other non-contact technologies.
VIVID Technology
VIVID multiple exposure technology quadruples the dynamic range of the laser scanner. More surfaces, including the most challenging dark, transparent or highly reflective materials can be measured in a single pass or the laser scanner. Phasing the exposure time during scanning to match the part surface, optimizes acquisition speeds and data quality. Exposure settings are included for typical applications, with fully configurable user settings for individual requirements.
| Scanner Type | Line |
| Laser line width | 24 mm (.95 in) |
| Points/second | 268k |
| Resolution (near, mid, far) | 9.3, 10.9, 12.9 µm |
| Scan Rate | 140 Hz |
NIKON L100
The newest laser scanner introduces the 4th generation Enhanced Sensor Performance (ESP4). With a high point resolution along a 100 mm wide stripe, the L100 achieves a data collection rate of 200,000 points per second. As the most productive line scanner, it offers double the point resolution, 2.5 x the scanning speed and 30% better accuracy than other scanners. With a projected field-of-view, the L100 makes for easy path planning and the ESP4 means it is the most adept at handling difficult shiny or reflective surfaces. Like other line scanners, the L100 is often used for surface and feature inspection in automotive and aerospace applications. However, its specification makes it the fastest and most accurate multi-purpose scanner, therefor the most proficient tool for almost any application.
| Scanner Type | Line |
| Laser line width | 100 mm (3.9 in) |
| Points/second | 200k |
| Resolution | 42 µm |
| Standoff | 135 |
NIKON LC15Dx
The high accuracy laser scanner LC15Dx features a small laser line, and a higher number of points along said line for a higher resolution, to make it the most accurate laser scanner available on the market today. The LC15Dx perfectly suits digitizing compact or detailed objects with higher point density and tighter tolerances, both suited for surfaces and features. Considering this, the LC15Dx is often used for the inspection of high precision parts. The LC15Dx closes the gap between laser scanner and tactile probe accuracy, making it a viable alternative to a tactile probe for an increasing number of high precision CMM applications. In tests, the LC15Dx achieved the accuracy associated with using a tactile probe on a CMM. The probing error of 1.9 µm mirrors the accuracy expected when using a CMM fitted with a tactile probe. Unlike a tactile probe though, the LC15Dx uses non-contact 3D laser triangulation to measure the surface directly and eliminate probe compensation errors.
| Scanner Type | Line |
| Laser line width | 15 mm (0.6 in) |
| Points/second | 70k |
| Resolution | 22 µm |
| Standoff | 68 |
NIKON XC65Dx
The XC65Dx Cross Scanner utilizes three laser stripe scanners in one sensor. The three lasers are spaced 120 degrees apart and observe the part in question from three angles. By doing this, the XC65Dx can acquire the same amount of data with just one scan than a line scanner would do in three scans. This feature makes the XC65Dx well suited to feature inspection of slots, holes and grooves in sheet metals or items with a large complex surface area. It is often used in automotive BIW (Body-in-White) inspection, gap & flush and driveline casting inspection. Whilst the long standoff Cross Scanner retains the many advantages of the original XC65Dx, it also excels in dealing with accessing difficult-to-reach or obscured areas. By capturing geometries up to a distance of 170 mm (7.1”), the scanner gains optimum access to cavity surfaces of body-in-white structures or can scan over the clamps that hold components in position. For these reasons, the XC65Dx-LS scanner is used a lot on horizontal-arm CMM in the automotive industry.
| Scanner Type | Cross |
| Laser line width | 3x 65 mm (2.6 in) |
| Points/second | 75k |
| Resolution | 65 µm |
| Standoff | 107/202 |

CMM 5-AXIS SYSTEMS
Unlike conventional CMM measurement methods, Renishaw’s 5-axis technology uses the synchronized motion of the CMM and the head axes to
minimize the machine’s dynamic errors at ultra‑high measuring speeds.
REVO
5-Axis Measurement System
A REVO® system delivers high performance scanning, non-contact inspection and surface finish analysis on a single CMM
High-speed measurement
- Up to 500 mm/sec resulting in increased part throughput
- Data collection rates up to 4,000 points per second
- Infinite positioning and 5-axis motion reduces non-productive transitions between features
- Rapid calibration with all positions inferred means more time measuring
High system accuracy
- 5-axis scanning minimises CMM motion and the associated dynamic errors
- Stylus wear minimised by extremely low scanning forces
- Infinite positioning and five-axis motion aid access to difficult features
- Tip-sensing further adds to the systems’ accuracy and flexibility
Great flexibility
- Maximum reach up to 800 mm from centre of head rotation
- Multi-sensor probe and stylus changing capability
- Renishaw UCCserver software application (based on I++ DME command protocol) provides the interface for REVO-2 control
- The removable probe system, used in conjunction with a low cost changer, provides added system flexibility
RSP2 -RSP2 is a dedicated lightweight tip-sensing probe for use on REVO systems, capable of 2D-scanning (x, y) and 3D-touch trigger measurement.
RSP3 – The RSP3 range complements the RSP2 probe, providing the REVO system with 3D-scanning (x,y,z) and crank stylus capabilities. It is used for
3-axis scanning, such as with a fixed REVO head angle during measurement.
| Head Type | Fixed Head |
| Head Positions | Infinite |
| Angular Tilt | -100o to +120o |
| Angular Rotation | Continuous |
| Touch Probe | RSP2, RSP3 |
PH20
Unlike conventional touch-trigger measurement methods which rely on speeding up the motion of the CMM’s 3 axes to measure quickly, PH20 utilizes the head motion technology developed for
the multi-award winning REVO system to minimize the dynamic errors of the CMM at higher measurement speeds.
PH20’s unique ‘head touches’ allow measurement points to be taken by moving only the head, rather than the CMM structure. Points can be taken faster, and with improved accuracy and repeatability.
Furthermore, 5-axis motion eliminates time spent indexing the head. Together these speed increases typically result in a 3-fold improvement in throughput over conventional systems.

VIVID SLK20
High accuracy, high resolution blue laser CMM scanner
Thanks to VIVID laser scanner technology from LK Metrology, the SLK20 provides quality professionals with an opportunity to maximize efficiency when measuring complex surfaces, small details, fragile parts, dark materials and reflective surfaces – by overcoming the limitations of tactile inspection and other non-contact technologies.
VIVID Technology
VIVID multiple exposure technology quadruples the dynamic range of the laser scanner. More surfaces, including the most challenging dark, transparent or highly reflective materials can be measured in a single pass or the laser scanner. Phasing the exposure time during scanning to match the part surface, optimizes acquisition speeds and data quality. Exposure settings are included for typical applications, with fully configurable user settings for individual requirements.
| Scanner Type | Line |

| Scan Rate | 140 Hz |
NIKON L100
The newest laser scanner introduces the 4th generation Enhanced Sensor Performance (ESP4). With a high point resolution along a 100 mm wide stripe, the L100 achieves a data collection rate of 200,000 points per second. As the most productive line scanner, it offers double the point resolution, 2.5 x the scanning speed and 30% better accuracy than other scanners. With a projected field-of-view, the L100 makes for easy path planning and the ESP4 means it is the most adept at handling difficult shiny or reflective surfaces. Like other line scanners, the L100 is often used for surface and feature inspection in automotive and aerospace applications. However, its specification makes it the fastest and most accurate multi-purpose scanner, therefor the most proficient tool for almost any application.
| Scanner Type | Line |
| Laser line width | 100 mm (3.9 in) |
| Points/second | 200k |
| Resolution | 42 µm |
| Standoff | 135 |
NIKON LC15Dx
The high accuracy laser scanner LC15Dx features a small laser line, and a higher number of points along said line for a higher resolution, to make it the most accurate laser scanner available on the market today. The LC15Dx perfectly suits digitizing compact or detailed objects with higher point density and tighter tolerances, both suited for surfaces and features. Considering this, the LC15Dx is often used for the inspection of high precision parts. The LC15Dx closes the gap between laser scanner and tactile probe accuracy, making it a viable alternative to a tactile probe for an increasing number of high precision CMM applications. In tests, the LC15Dx achieved the accuracy associated with using a tactile probe on a CMM. The probing error of 1.9 µm mirrors the accuracy expected when using a CMM fitted with a tactile probe. Unlike a tactile probe though, the LC15Dx uses non-contact 3D laser triangulation to measure the surface directly and eliminate probe compensation errors.
| Scanner Type | Line |
| Laser line width | 15 mm (0.6 in) |
| Points/second | 70k |
| Resolution | 22 µm |
| Standoff | 68 |
NIKON XC65Dx
The XC65Dx Cross Scanner utilizes three laser stripe scanners in one sensor. The three lasers are spaced 120 degrees apart and observe the part in question from three angles. By doing this, the XC65Dx can acquire the same amount of data with just one scan than a line scanner would do in three scans. This feature makes the XC65Dx well suited to feature inspection of slots, holes and grooves in sheet metals or items with a large complex surface area. It is often used in automotive BIW (Body-in-White) inspection, gap & flush and driveline casting inspection. Whilst the long standoff Cross Scanner retains the many advantages of the original XC65Dx, it also excels in dealing with accessing difficult-to-reach or obscured areas. By capturing geometries up to a distance of 170 mm (7.1”), the scanner gains optimum access to cavity surfaces of body-in-white structures or can scan over the clamps that hold components in position. For these reasons, the XC65Dx-LS scanner is used a lot on horizontal-arm CMM in the automotive industry.
| Scanner Type | Cross |
| Laser line width | 3x 65 mm (2.6 in) |
| Points/second | 75k |

minimize the machine’s dynamic errors at ultra‑high measuring speeds.
REVO
5-Axis Measurement System
A REVO® system delivers high performance scanning, non-contact inspection and surface finish analysis on a single CMM
High-speed measurement
- Up to 500 mm/sec resulting in increased part throughput
- Data collection rates up to 4,000 points per second
- Infinite positioning and 5-axis motion reduces non-productive transitions between features
- Rapid calibration with all positions inferred means more time measuring
High system accuracy
- 5-axis scanning minimises CMM motion and the associated dynamic errors
- Stylus wear minimised by extremely low scanning forces
- Infinite positioning and five-axis motion aid access to difficult features
- Tip-sensing further adds to the systems’ accuracy and flexibility
Great flexibility
- Maximum reach up to 800 mm from centre of head rotation
- Multi-sensor probe and stylus changing capability
- Renishaw UCCserver software application (based on I++ DME command protocol) provides the interface for REVO-2 control
- The removable probe system, used in conjunction with a low cost changer, provides added system flexibility
RSP2 -RSP2 is a dedicated lightweight tip-sensing probe for use on REVO systems, capable of 2D-scanning (x, y) and 3D-touch trigger measurement.
RSP3 – The RSP3 range complements the RSP2 probe, providing the REVO system with 3D-scanning (x,y,z) and crank stylus capabilities. It is used for
3-axis scanning, such as with a fixed REVO head angle during measurement.
| Head Type | Fixed Head |
| Head Positions | Infinite |
| Angular Tilt | -100o to +120o |
| Angular Rotation | Continuous |
| Touch Probe | RSP2, RSP3 |
PH20
Unlike conventional touch-trigger measurement methods which rely on speeding up the motion of the CMM’s 3 axes to measure quickly, PH20 utilizes the head motion technology developed for
the multi-award winning REVO system to minimize the dynamic errors of the CMM at higher measurement speeds.
PH20’s unique ‘head touches’ allow measurement points to be taken by moving only the head, rather than the CMM structure. Points can be taken faster, and with improved accuracy and repeatability.
Furthermore, 5-axis motion eliminates time spent indexing the head. Together these speed increases typically result in a 3-fold improvement in throughput over conventional systems.
| Head Type | 5-Axis Continuous |
| Head Positions | Infinite |
| Angular Tilt | ±115o |
| Angular Rotation | Infinite |
| Touch Probe | Integral |
