(RPI: Bath, UK) -- RPI, a leading provider of rotary measurement and angular positioning devices, has expanded its metrology product range with the launch of OctoScan, which can improve productivity by up to 40 percent.

OctoScan is an accurate rotary axis that enhances the measurement capability of portable measurement arms. It enables objects that are larger than the standard reach of portable arms to be easily and accurately recorded.

This new rotary positioning system provides additional flexibility to the measurement process, minimizing errors and increasing accuracy for otherwise difficult-to-reach areas with an overall increase in measurement volume.

OctoScan is also built with convenience in mind, with wireless functionality and portability around a production line. It can be integrated with any measurement arm or portable CMM (coordinate-measuring machine).

For example, LK Metrology’s Freedom Arm measuring system, which was demonstrated at Control, had a fully integrated OctoScan via PolyWorks software.
