3D sensors for the inspection of geometry, shapes and surfaces of matt objects

surfaceCONTROL sensors are used for 3D measurements and surface inspections. The sensors use the fringe projection principle to detect diffuse reflecting surface and to generate a 3D point cloud. This point cloud is subsequently evaluated in order to recognize geometry, extremely small defects and discontinuities on the surface. Sensors with different measurement areas are available. This enables the inspection of the finest of structures on components as well as shape deviations on large-area attachments. Powerful software packages are available for evaluation and parameter setting.

The high-precision surfaceCONTROL 3D 3500 is a 3D fringe light sensor which is ideally suited to automated inline inspection of geometry, shapes and surfaces on diffuse reflecting surfaces.		The surfaceCONTROL 2500 is used for precise inspections of large-format surfaces and offers tools for surface inspection.

Valid 3D - Reliable 3D Data


Measuring object and point cloud		Conventional 3D software: algorithms are based on 2.5D, only one Z-coordinate per x/y coordinate possible, data loss during data processing		3DInspect with Valid3D: real 3D image of test object without data loss, analysis and evaluation of the complete test object

Software integration via Micro-Epsilon’s 3D-SDK

The surfaceCONTROL sensors are equipped with an easy-to-integrate SDK (Software Development Kit). The SDK is based on the GigE Vision and GenICam industry standards including the following function blocks:
