The laser sensor scans along the length of the cone. It moves in the direction of the cone's vector. The laser must be nearly perpendicular to that vector.
1 - The feature's vector. 2 - The feature's scan lines or laser stripes are perpendicular to the feature's vector. 3 - Scan direction follows the feature's vector
Stud Measurements
Single Scan
Adjust the processing window in the laser View to include as much of the cone surface as possible. The laser plane must be roughly 30-60 degrees to the cone axis. The scan must capture the region on the base plane of the stud where the cone is mounted.
