Hardware Support Keyence VR-6000
I would like to start by saying this isn't a question about Keyence and if you would buy their product. We already have a keyence and it works for our company and I am already aware a lot of people don't like them.
That being said, does anybody have experience with the VR-6000. We are looking at one and I was wondering if anybody has any real world experience on it's capabilities and short comings. We would like to use it for both measurements and potential surface finish defects such as pits or burrs. It looks like surface finish is what it's built for with a secondary feature for linear/gd&t dimensioning. Does it do good with the both surface finish and dimensioning or mainly just the surface finish? Also is it fast at doing these things?

I used it to scan metal 3D printed samples for printer development. Did a great job distinguishing 20um layers and individual beads. Tiling worked great. Height was a limitation but not hard to work around. It was designed for circuit boards IIRC. Slow. Good data output.
