Micro-Epsilon is extending its scanCONTROL range of laser profile sensors (laser scanners) with two new versions that offer even better performance and improved software integration capabilities to meet the growing demands of automation, robotics, quality control, production and process monitoring applications.
The scanCONTROL 30xx sensor is among the highest performing laser scanners in terms of its size, accuracy and measuring rate. The sensor has a compact housing with integrated controller, allowing fast integration into confined spaces. Available with either red or blue laser technology and with measuring ranges of 25mm and 50mm, the sensor provides calibrated 2D profile data with up to 5.5 million points per second. A maximum profile frequency of 10kHz and innovative exposure control enable precise profile measurements in high-speed, dynamic processes. A high-resolution sensor matrix offers a resolution of 2,048 points per profile with an ultimate point distance spacing of just 12um, allowing measurements of very fine surface/geometrical details.
The user can choose from three predefined operating modes to suit each measurement task. The "High Resolution' mode is for maximum precision measurements. The "High Dynamic Range' (HDR) mode is for optimal profile detection on difficult/inhomogeneous surfaces and the "High Speed' mode is for ultra-fast measurements on rapidly moving objects. Target markets for the scanCONTROL 30xx include almost all industry sectors, from automotive manufacturing to electronics production and machine building.
Also new to the scanCONTROL range is the scanCONTROL 25xx, which is designed for high-volume OEM industrial measurement applications. With its compact design, versatility and high signal stability, the sensor offers users an excellent price-performance ratio and good all-round capabilities. Measurement speed is up to 300Hz and measuring rate 192,00 points per second. Three measuring ranges are available, as well as a range of accessories that include protective housings, different cable types and interface adapters, making the sensor well suited for high-volume integration in production lines and OEM/machine building.
The latest version of Micro-Epsilon's scanCONTROL Configuration Tools (v6.3) includes the following new features for the scanCONTROL 30xx laser scanner:
