	A new design of wire scanner is under development for the LHC Injector Upgrade project at CERN. A prototype has been designed, built and installed in the SPS accelerator to test the concept in an operational accelerator environment. New technology has been developed and qualified for in-vacuum motor and structural components using 3D metal additive machining. This paper will describe the technology developed for this scanner and the test results to date. This prototype has recently been re-optimised to fit in the limited space available in the PS Booster rings. This design will also be presented.

	During LHC Run 1 significant transverse emittance growth through the LHC cycle was observed. Measurements indicated most of the blow-up to occur during the injection plateau and the ramp. Intra beam scattering was one of the main drivers of emittance growth. However, finding a good wire scanner working point was difficult. Photomultiplier saturation added uncertainty on all measurements. A large discrepancy between emittances from wire scanners and luminosity was discovered but not solved. During Long Shutdown 1 the wire scanner system was upgraded with new photomultipliers. In April 2015 the LHC re-started with collision energy of 6.5 TeV per beam. This paper presents the first transverse emittance measurements through the LHC Run 2 cycle with low beam intensity. Comparisons with data from the synchrotron light monitors and the LHC experiments will be discussed and results summarized. In addition, a thorough study of wire scanner photomultiplier saturation will be presented. Finally, the emittance growth results will be compared to intra beam scattering simulations.
