VAST XT Scanning Sensor
VAST XT accepts complex and thus heavy stylus configurations: stylus lengths up to 500 mm and stylus weights up to 500 g can be combined with VAST XT.
"All systems go" for active scanning.
The line of active VAST sensors plays a major role in all metrology applications that demand maximum precision with large stylus configurations. VAST XT provides the foundation for entry into the world of active scanning technology.

VAST XT uses Long ExtentionsVAST XT Active Scanning
VAST XT continually monitors probe deflection. The same low measuring force is generated and regulated by the probe – thus minimizing dynamic influences such as stylus bending. In addition to active scanning, this sensor also permits single-point measurements: for example, the sensor enables the flexible use of complex stylus configurations and self-centering.

As a result of its high-speed scanning capabilities, VAST XT can complete practically any task: form and length measurements, curve and freeform measurements, and reverse engineering. The applications cover plastic machined parts and Styrofoam, brake components, crankshafts, engine blocks and turbine blades.
