New 2D/3D blue laser scanners for precise profile measurement on red-hot glowing metals
Micro-Epsilon has developed 2D/3D Blue Laser Profile Scanners for precise measurements on red-hot glowing metals. The Blue Laser technology enable measurements that, to date have been difficult to carry out using red laser scanners. Its advantages can be seen on red hot glowing metals, (semi-) transparent and organic materials.
Laser scanner from the scanCONTROL series record, measure and evaluate profiles on a variety of different target surfaces, and now with the introduction of Blue Laser Profile Scanners, measurable surfaces include red-hot glowing metals.
Micro Epsilons Laser scanners are among the highest performing profile sensors in the world with respect to accuracy and measuring rate. The wide selection of models and measurement ranges enable engineers to solve many industrial applications.
Micro-Epsilon's scanCONTROL Red and Blue series of laser profile sensors are now available in three classes: COMPACT, HIGHSPEED and SMART.
The scanCONTROL COMPACT series is developed for machine build and systems integration applications, where the user needs to output the basic profile data to a software application via Ethernet or FireWire interfaces. Various programming interfaces are available to simplify set up and configuration, as well as integration with customer-specific software applications. The sensor controller is fully integrated in an extremely compact housing, ideal for restricted installation space.
The scanCONTROL HIGHSPEED series is suitable if profiles need to be measured and the data then transferred to another software application very quickly, for example, in fast moving production environments. Here, not only is the speed of profile measurements important for fast-moving targets but also for 3D surface scans. A variety of programming interfaces are available for ease of integration with the customer's own application software and profile data can be output via Ethernet or FireWire interface.
The scanCONTROL SMART series processes the measured profile data internally (i.e. no separate controller) whilst providing users with common parameters for their application (e.g. step height, gap, width, relative position, etc.). The common library of application parameters, allow the user to configure the sensor once to allow the sensor to operate in a standalone mode without requiring an additional PC or PLC. Both digital and analogue outputs are available directly from the sensor or via an optional Output Unit.
