The ScanShark Laser Scanning System is comprised of a seven-axis INFINITE portable CMM, a ScanShark™ laser scanning probe, PolyWorks™ software and laptop or desktop computer, all in one powerful, turnkey package!

Three configurations are available:
• Reverse-engineering via PolyWorks/Modeler
• Laser scanning inspection via PolyWorks/Inspector
• Inspection and reverse-engineering with PolyWorks/Modeler and Inspector

The ROMER seven-axis INFINITE portable CMM, available in 6-, 8-, 9-, 10- and 12-foot measuring envelopes, brings all the benefits of articulating arm measurement to laser scanning. Its versatility allows access to those difficult-to-reach locations on the inside, topside and underside of the work-piece - anywhere you need to scan.

The arm features our patented infinite rotation, integral low-profile zero-g counterbalance that reduces fatigue and provides ergonomic handling, Heidenhain encoders with “wide-track” bearing support

manufactured to our specifications,advanced carbon-fiber arm tubes that are dimensionally stable and lightweight, next-generation electronics with on-board diagnostics, a universal mounting system, and a lightweight design.

The ScanShark is available with either a V4i laser scanning probe, capable of scanning 23,000 points per second or our premier V5 laser scanning probe.

The V5 is capable of scanning 458,400 points per second with a minimum point-to-point resolution of 12 microns. Additional features of the V5 include:

• Large field of view - 140 mm and 110 mm
• Projected rangefinder - projects accurate trapezoidal representation of field of view and optimal scanning offset distance - enabling users to ecome familiar with good scanning procedure.
• Dynamic range - captures accurate data on dark and reflective surfaces, negating the need for white powder sprays. Sensor is impervious to ambient light.

Both lightweight scanners (.75 lb) can rapidly capture large, geometrically complex areas with direct integration into your configuration of PolyWorks.

Benefits of SharkScan non-contact laser scanning:

• Non-contact laser scanning avoids marring of sensitive surfaces of deflection off thin or soft materials.
• Real-time inspection allows rapid identification of errors, allowing for quick correction.
• Ideal for generating point clouds for reverse engineering (via Polyworks Modeler).
