F.6.14 HEXAGON SCANNERS ALIGNMENT
All RS5 / HP-L-20.8 and HP-L-8.9 scanners must be aligned prior to use. This operation must be done in
case of arm recalibration, or if a new HP-L scanner is mounted on the arm.
New Scanner
If a new scanner is mounted on the arm, once powered, RDS recognizes it as a new mounted scanner,
and ask following questions:
⚫ Type of probe: RDS recognizes a new probe and ask for the type: HP-L-20.8 or External Trigger
(Perceptron, Kreon …).
The RS5 and HP-L-8.9 are automatically recognized and don’t request to select the type.
• In case of a HEXAGON
®
scanner, RDS proposes to align it and several methods are available:
• Plane without reference method.
• Plane with reference method (measuring ref plane with Reference probe).
• Sphere without reference method
• Sphere with reference method (measuring ref sphere with Reference probe).
The recommended method is sphere with reference. For other methods, please refer to RDS Data Collector
manual.
