property damage/malfunctions.
INFORMATION INFORMATION indicates important information or helpful advices for the work with
the described device.
1.1.2 Safety Instructions
CAUTION
Risk of injury!
At high spindle rotation speeds, there is a danger that the device will come out of the spindle, or that parts of the
device will be ejected.
•Make sure that the laser scanner is only used with no spindle rotation speed
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to hot device surface!
Especially with high ambient temperatures, the device can get hot during operation.
•If the laser scanner has been in operation, it must only be handled with protective gloves.
Description LS-R-4.8

CAUTION
Risk of eye injuries due to laser radiation!
The LS-R-4.8 laser scanner is a laser class 2 product according to EN/IEC 60825-1:2014. To avoid eye injuries,
the following instructions must be followed:
•Do not look directly into the laser beam.
•Do not point the laser beam at people.
•When the laser scanner is not in use, protect it against unauthorised access.
•Switch off the system before cleaning or maintenance work.
Hazard labels on the laser scanner housing
NOTICE
Risk of damage to the equipment!
Rotating the spindle at high speed can damage the laser scanner.
•Make sure that the laser scanner is only used with no spindle rotation speed.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to the equipment!
When the battery compartment is open, there is a risk that dirt and moisture can penetrate the sensor. The
specified protection class (IP68) only applies when the battery compartment is closed.
•Make sure that the laser scanner is only used with no spindle rotation speed.
NOTICE
Risk of material damage!
•The laser scanner is not monitored for collisions. All travel paths must be programmed so that no collisions
can occur.
NOTICE
Risk of material damage caused by third-party parts!
•Only use the original spare parts listed in these operating instructions to perform maintenance and repairs.

NOTICE
Possible damage to the laser scanner
Deposits on the optical windows have a significant effect on the measuring accuracy of the laser scanner.
•Avoid drips or heat damage to prevent a decrease in accuracy or sensitivity.
•Do not touch the optical windows on the laser scanner.
•Do not use solvents to clean the housing of the laser scanner.
•Store only within the specified storage temperature range, see chapter 1.5.1.
•Avoid the formation of condensation on the optical elements, e.g. by quickly changing the temperature.
INFORMATION
The information given in this manual can be changed by the manufacturer at any time. Thus the user is
responsible to regularly inquire about updated information.
1.1.3 Validity
These operating instructions are valid for the hardware available at the date of creation of these operating
instructions. The manufacturer reserves the right to make technical modifications.
1.2 Purpose
The LS-R-4.8 laser scanner is used for measuring and detecting various workpiece geometries (e.g. arches,
surfaces, corners, edges, areas, slots, grooves, curves, cut-outs, polygons, shanks and spherical surfaces). It is also
suitable for measuring complex geometries, like three-dimensional surfaces and for measurements involving pivot
axes. The measured workpieces can consist of a variety of different materials (e.g. processed, semi-finished,
punched, forged, cast material, as well as dark materials such as rubber and carbon fibre).
Radio-wave transmission ensures that the measuring signals from the laser scanner can be transmitted to the
receiver over large distances.
The measuring results are evaluated using the program HxGN NC Measure.

1.8.2 Sensitivity and gain factor (Laser Sensor Gain)
The gain factor set depends on the workpiece to be measured (material, surface condition). This setting increases
the sensitivity of the laser scanner during data acquisition. Depending on the measuring result, it may be useful to
adjust the gain factor in the measuring software.
INFORMATION
The gain factor setting significantly affects the quality of the recorded measuring data. If data quality is poor,
adjusting the gain factor can improve data quality. The following gain factor settings are recommendations and
can be adapted to individual ambient/material conditions.
Gain factor White Grey/Bright steel Carbon

INFORMATION
If the acquisition of measuring data is difficult when scanning dark, shiny or transparent surfaces, the gain factor
should be set to one of the settings "4" or "5".
However, this setting, and the resulting higher sensitivity of the laser scanner, increases the probability of
recording low quality data.
In order to automatically filter out this data from the measurement, the quality filter can also be activated.
1.8.3 Quality filter
The quality filter is used to filter out low quality measuring points from the measurement.
The following quality filters are used here:
•Error data filter for 3D data
•Angle filter
•Outlier filter
•Edge filter
INFORMATION
If the acquisition of measuring data is still difficult when scanning dark, shiny or transparent surfaces, despite
setting the gain factor to "4" or "5", the quality filter should be deactivated.
However, this setting reduces both the measuring accuracy of the system and the data quality.

1.9 Transmission and Reception Area
INFORMATION
The transmission/reception ranges shown below only apply under optimum operating conditions. For a secure
signal transmission, laser scanner and receiver must be located in the transmission area of the other device. The
range for a secure signal transmission is up to 15 m.

1.10.3 Shanks
In conjunction with laser scanner LS-R-4.8, only shanks for a shaft diameter of 28 mm can be used. It is
recommended to use a shank with indexing. An overview of available shanks for the laser scanner can be found in
the accessories catalogue.
