HEXAGON Scanner Support

VTube-LASER can support any scanner supported by RDS directly, including...


Scanner Description Image
The AS1 scanner is for the RA8 7-axis arms. It is the upgraded version of the RS6. It is very good for parts that are highly reflective or change reflectivity on different parts of the surface. The SHINE technology takes three different exposures of each laser stripe in order to properly take in data from surfaces that have different reflectivity along the stripe. HEXAGON AS1 Scanner.png

This is for RA8 7-axis Portable Arms. It is best for parts that have consistent surface reflectivity properties along the entire part because the camera chooses a single exposure for each stripe. HEXAGON RS5 Scanner.png

HP-L-8.9 scanners

This scanner is for attachment of a scanner on the same 6-axis arms that used Tube Shaper software (Tube Shaper is retired). See the ROMER HP-L-8.9 website for video of how this scanner works on a 6-axis arm.

Note: The articulation of a 6-axis arm with this laser is not as good as that of a 7-axis arm. (This laser scanner is not used on a 7-axis arm.) With a 6-axis arm, the user is forced to approach the tube from restricted directions. Watch the video on the HEXAGON site to see how this scanner works on a 6-axis arm.
