Model 9200 Laser Texture Scanner

The Model 9200 Laser Texture Scanner is the latest innovative product from Ames Engineering. The laser scanner is designed to scan and precisely measure the texture content of any surface. With the simple push of a button the unit automatically begins the scanning process providing the operator with immediate and accurate texture measurements. Once a scan has been completed, the scanner immediately calculates and displays the following indices on the sunlight readable LCD display: Mean Profile Depth (MPD), Texture Profile Index (TPI), Estimated Texture Depth (ETD), band pass selectable, elevation variance and slope variance. The data is stored in a simple CSV data file and can be easily downloaded to a PC through an Ethernet interface. Using the Ames Web Page interface software, the user can specify scan densities and select from a list of texture index calculations. The scanner is lightweight, portable and is powered using high cycle rechargeable batteries that can provide up to one hundred scans per charge.
