The readers of “Photonic Tech Briefs” (PTB) magazine have chosen Cognitens white light measurement systems as one of three products of the year for 2011. This is the result of voting conducted in December among twelve "product of the month" finalists. The award goes to the most significant new introductions to the photonics engineering community.
The manual Cognitens WLS400M and the automated Cognitens WLS400A, Hexagon Metrology’s white light measurement systems, use digital stereo vision technology to generate 3D data. The systems are available in a portable configuration (WLS400M) and an automated system (WLS400A), which can be operated with all common industrial robots. The Cognitens WLS400M is the only high-performance 3D white light scanner that can be used in a hand-held mode, in addition to tripod or boom mounts. Both products include blue LED lighting technology, which enables a broad variety of surface finishes to be measured or reverse engineered in nearly any environment, due to the systems' millisecond-fast data aquisition speed and insensitiviy to vibration.
