Hexagon adds wireless contact probing to HYPERSCAN scanning system

Hexagon's Portable Metrology Division has introduced a wireless probe for its HYPERSCAN system. The addition lets the large-volume laser scanning platform perform contact measurement as well as scanning. According to Hexagon, the change is meant to improve productivity during alignment, inspection and reporting.

For equipment buyers, does your work mix require both contact probing and laser scanning on large parts? Would a wireless probe reduce setup or cabling constraints in your facility? And how would you verify that the combined workflow meets your inspection and reporting requirements?
