3D laser sensor for measuring high-performance tooling

Walter Ewag UK has announced a step change in the fully automatic measurement and digitisation of tools with the launch of the Walter 3D laser sensor that enables the Walter Helicheck Pro and Plus tool measurement machines to scan with four times the resolution than previously possible and to process that data four times faster.

Ideal for inspecting high-performance tools as used in industries including automotive, aerospace and medical where cutting edge geometry, pitch and spiral pitch vary widely, the 3D sensor could replace two separate machines traditionally used for measuring such tools – perhaps a combination of conventional and laser checking.
