PC-DMIS provides two different paths for a plane. It automatically chooses the appropriate path based on the diameter and the size of the usable portion of the laser stripe. For auto planes, PC-DMIS always scans perpendicular to the direction of the stripe.
Path 1: Smaller Width
Planes with a width smaller than the usable portion of the stripe
(A) - Scan motion
Path 2: Larger Width
Planes with a width larger than the usable portion of the stripe
