Rapid Laser Texture Scanner 9500
The portable Model 9500 Laser Texture Scanner is a rapid macrotexture scanner that replaces the Sand Patch Test (ETD) and Circular Texture Meter (MPD). The scanner requires a host computer to operate (not included) and completes a full scan of a 4″ × 4″ area in approximately 90 seconds, providing fast results on the host computer.
