The optical measuring CMMs are available in a portable and a mobile configuration. As such they are the ideal tool for on-site measurement and troubleshooting task for applications requiring a large measuring volume.
Systems can be also integrated in existing metrology rooms by fixing the camera to the ceiling, wall or space frame.
			Accurate non-contact measuring technologyPowerful CMOS technology incorporated into LC60Dx translates into higher measuring accuracy, resulting in a typical MPEp value of 7 micron according to EN ISO 10360-5. This brings the all-digital scanner in the accuracy range of tactile measurement. E.g. The Multi-stylus accuracy test is comparable to EN/ISO 10360-5 MPEal and scans a sphere with 5 different scanner Ideal for measuring soft and fragile partsMeasuring soft, fragile or brittle parts potentially yield inaccurate measurements or s Superfast scanning

The K-Scan MMDx is a walk-around scanning solution combining the digital ModelMaker MMDx laser scanner with the portable K-series optical CMM. K-Scan is ideally suited for on-site 3D digitizing tasks requiring minimum setup and fast results. Operating the scanner with a laser stripe width up to 200mm is easy and efficient. The 6m working range of the optical CMM is more than sufficient to take measurements in and around a full vehicle. The dense point clouds that are acquired can be graphically analyzed in Focus software, or in 3rd party packages.
The ergonomic SpaceProbe is used for traditional touch trigger or analog scanning measurements. Automatic tip detection supports a variety of ball and point probes and extensions.
The initial alignment of a work piece is monitored by 3 LEDs mounted directly on the part. The camera-to-part position is constantly monitored and updated, avoiding the need for leap-frogging. As such it is possible to measure objects on vibrating workfloor or parts that move.
K-Series cameras measure the position of infrared LEDs by means of linear CCD cameras. Through triangulation, the 3D position of each LED is calculated. 9 LEDs are built into the handheld SpaceProbe, an ergonomically device that enables an inspector to measure the actual 3D data of an inspection part in single point or scanning mode. The optical measuring CMMs are available in a portable and a mobile configuration.

When large objects such as a bus or construction vehicle need to be measured it is possible to expand the measurement volume with the walk around reference. This dedicated option enables the customer to locate the K-600 Optical Camera 360º round the vehicle without the need for re-alignment. As such the whole vehicle can be measured with one single camera saving tremendous system costs of extra material. Because the system requires only one initial alignment, there is also an important saving of labor time.
Robot metrology accelerates repetitive inspection and assembly tasks. With K-Series Optical CMM, Nikon Metrology ensures that robots operate accurately and reliably all the time. Customers use the metrology system to calibrate robots up-front, or monitor one or more robots in real time to optimize robot precision. in any case precision is guaranteed, delivering predictable results all the way through.

Validating simulation models using physical prototypes and pre-series parts is a critical activity in automotive, aerospace, naval and civil engineering. K-Series DMM (Dynamic Motion Measurement) combines high-speed optical sensors and modular software applications to respond to these challenging motion analysis tasks. K-Series DMM eliminates cumbersome setup work because the sensors can be mounted and calibrated in minutes, instead of hours. The use of infrared LED markers allows for more accurate measurement of high-frequency macro motions by adding only a few grams of instrumentation mass to the test piece.
