-* For use on 6 axis arms.
+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.
