Scanning on a NEWPORT type table

NEWPORT Tables

Scanning on NEWPORT tables is possible with the FARO scanner system, but care must be taken because of the high reflectivity of the surfaces in the drilled and tapped holes.

Scanning Example

The image on right shows an example of scanning a tube on a Newport table.

Potential For Outliers At Normal Relfective Surfaces

View the angle of the scanner in the image in the preceding section. Now see this closeup. The chamfer in the hole being called out is perpendicular to the incoming laser beam. This can cause slight outliers to the laser camera that can cause the cylinder calculation to fail if the cut plane offset is not set large enough.
