Schneider Electric to Use Laser Design FARO Arm 3D Scanner
 MINNEAPOLIS,
MN, Nov 5, 2009 - Laser Design Inc., the leading supplier of 3D laser
scanners for over 20 years, announced that Schneider Electric recently
installed a Laser Design-FARO arm laser scanning system in its Cedar Rapids,
Iowa facility. The system will be used for verifying plastic injection mold
tooling prior to production runs.
 A
repeat customer for Laser Design’s high-precision laser scanning systems,
Schneider Electric has realized increased productivity and better quality
products as a result. “Our relationship with Schneider is ongoing in many of
its international facilities,” explained C. Martin Schuster, President and
CEO of Laser Design.
 “Our
portable FARO arm system will provide the Schneider Plants in the USA with
the versatility of high-speed and high-accuracy portable scanning. It can be
moved around to any of the production facilities to provide quick inspection
and verification of whatever part is about to be manufactured.” The Laser
Design FARO arm laser scanning system reduces Schneider’s inspection time
and raises accuracies to improve their “Ready to Run” check-out process
significantly.
The portable FARO arm is teamed up with the award-winning Laser Design
SLP-500 laser-line scanning probe which is ideal for the complex profile
contour scanning typical of plastic injection molded part geometries. The
high-speed, high-accuracy, non-contact 3D laser probe captures up to 144,000
points per second. The SLP probe line features digital (ASCII) coordinate
output, a visible beam, a Class II rating for safe and easy-to-see
operations and a long standoff to prevent crashes during part scanning. Its
large measurement range, enhanced specularity performance and automatic
adjustments for surface color and finish ensure excellent results time after
time. Dual CMOS receptors featuring simultaneous scanning assist with steep
sidewall and recessed geometry capture.
