    Rapid Laser Texture Scanner 9500

    Laser Texture Scanner 9500

    The portable Model 9500 Laser Texture Scanner is a rapid macrotexture scanner which replaces the Sand Patch Test (ETD) and Circular Texture Meter (MPD). This scanner completes a full scan of the 4″ x 4″ area in about 90 seconds, giving quick results on the host computer.
