3D profiler promises micron-level accuracy
Cognex has developed a 3D laser profiling system that provides readings in real units of measurement with micron-level accuracy, making 3D applications easier to understand and deploy. The system can perform inspections that would be too difficult for traditional two-dimensional machine vision systems.
For example, the DS1000 sensor (above) can:
• read embossed or raised characters;
• verify the presence of low-contrast items in boxes or packages;
• identify surface defects and chips with no or little contrast;
• measure heights and tilts of components to determine misalignments; and
• calculate volumes and dimensions for food portioning.
The IP65-protected system integrates with Cognex’s VisionPro 3D vision toolset, which allows users to add GigE cameras for 2D inspection tasks.
