MINNEAPOLIS, MN - Laser Design Inc. announced that
its exclusive Japanese distributor has partnered with a premier Japanese
machine-builder to introduce a new line of scanning systems for sale in
Japan. The
company’s Japanese distributor is Tomen Machinery Co. Ltd., a large

The first model in the YS-Series
line is the YS-6075; a machine offering x-y travels of 600 mm x 700 mm.
Included with the YS-6075 is a choice of RPS laser probes, high-end
PC, and Surveyor Scan Control software. It features a granite base, full
DCC control system, precision ground ways, .5 micron scales and precision
pinch-roller feed.
“We
expect that the YS-6075 system will significantly increase our sales in
Japan starting in 2002 and beyond.” according to Marty Schuster, Laser

“This system is attractive to many Japanese companies because the
machine base is built, installed and supported locally.
Its high level of accuracy will ensure our success in Quality
Control applications in Japan.”

Since
1987, Laser Design Inc. has been the leading supplier of ultra-precise,
laser scanning systems and services used for capturing the 3D shape of
objects with complex shapes and free-form surfaces.
Laser Design’s Surveyor automated 4 and 5-axis scanning systems
are ideal for 3D applications such as computer-aided verification,
discrete dimensional measurements, reverse engineering, rapid prototyping,
and manufacturing from scan data.
The company’s patented laser line-probe technology dramatically
reduces scanning time by collecting data substantially faster and more
accurately than conventional metrology technologies.
The 16-year-old company also operates an in-house Service Bureau
offering complete 3D scanning, modeling and inspection services.
