CUSTOMER ISSUE

The customer could not successfully scan a 5mm diameter wire part with a new laser scanner.

OUR DISCOVERY

The customer never calibrated the new laser scanner to the arm. They were thinking that, since the laser calibrations were so hard and never would pass to the FARO specification, that maybe they did not need to calibrate the laser scanner.

OTHER ACTIONS

The customer calibrated the ball probe (it passed spec) and then calibrated the laser probe. It did not pass spec. However, it did calibrate to 0.0675 mm (0.0027") - which is very good for tube fabrication. The customer saved the calibration results anyway and continued.

Since the probes were recalibrated, it was also necessary to re-establish the CUT PLANE.

RESULT

VTube-LASER now scans the 5 mm wire with no problems.
