New HP-O Solution
Optical measurement reaches new dimension. Speed, accuracy and accessibility change the rules for scanning.
Hexagon Metrology has launched the HP-O technology solution, a new scanning technology on stationary CMMs based on frequency-modulated interferometric optical distance measurement.
HP-O features an accuracy and reliability comparable to tactile scanning probes, a higher scanning speed, increased measurement range and the generic optic advantage of non-contact measurements. It is an alternative for high-precision tactile measurements when speed is important, parts are difficult to access for tactile probes or when parts are deformed or get damaged by tactile probing.
The HP-O solution is multi-sensor compatible multiple optical heads or tactile probes are interchangeable in a single program using the standard tool changer. Optical measurements can be made in single point or scanning mode with 3- or 4-axis scanning in open loop mode. The solution is launched as a complete system including Hexagon Metrology software QUINDOS and Leitz PMM-C high-accuracy CMM.
