The new generation of high precision inline 3D measurements
|
|
|
|
The high precision surfaceCONTROL 3D 3500 is a 3D fringe light sensor which is ideally suited to automated inline geometry, shape and surface inspections on diffuse reflecting surfaces. The surfaceCONTROL 3D 3500 stands out due to its compact design and high measurement accuracy combined with high data processing speed. Two models cover different measuring fields.
In addition to the fast data output via Gigabit Ethernet, the sensor offers an additional digital I/O interface. The 2D/3D Gateway II supports EtherNet/IP, PROFINET and EtherCAT connections. Powerful software tools enable precise 3D measurements and surface inspections. GigE Vision compatibility also allows easy integration into third-party image processing software. The comprehensive SDK for customer software integration rounds off the software package.

3D Inspect software for 3D measurement tasks and inspection
The 3DInspect software is a powerful tool for sensor parameter set up and industrial measurement tasks. This software transmits the measurement data from the sensor via Ethernet and provides the data in three-dimensional form. This 3D data is further processed, evaluated and assessed with 3DInspect measuring programs on the PC and, if necessary, logged and transmitted via Ethernet to a control unit. If required, these 3D data can be saved with the software. Furthermore, the set up and configuration of the sensor is possible via the software.

3D-View software for 3D visualization
The 3D-View software offers a convenient user interface for surfaceCONTROL sensors. This user-friendly software enables quick commissioning and evaluation of the sensor. It offers set up and optimization of parameters and ensures the correct positioning of the measuring object and sensor. The software can also be used to start data acquisition. It visualizes the 3D data obtained and exports it in different file formats (ASCII, CSV, STL, PLY) for further processing.

|
The 3D-View software is particularly helpful for system integrators as it provides important information. They can access all GenICam parameters, which considerably simplifies the integration of the software. For inline applications, the display of the measurement duration allows conclusions to be drawn about the cycle time. |

3D sensors for geometry and surface inspections
|
|
|
|
The new generation of Micro-Epsilon’s 3D sensors impresses with high accuracy during measurement and assessment of components and surfaces. The surfaceCONTROL and reflectCONTROL inspection systems from Micro-Epsilon are intended for matt and shiny surfaces respectively. The 3D snapshots are recorded in a short time and provide detailed 3D point clouds.
These 3D sensors are used, e.g., for geometric component testing, position determination, presence checks and the measurement of flatness or planarity. Thanks to their high performance, the sensors are used for inline applications, on robots and also for offline inspection.

Inline inspection with high precision
3D systems from Micro-Epsilon are used for a variety of measuring and inspection systems on matt and shiny surfaces. The results can be documented and are comparable. This allows for important conclusions to be drawn for process improvements. All 3D sensors from Micro-Epsilon can be used in offline applications as well as in fully automated operation and on the robot.

thicknessGAUGE.laser profile
|
|
|
|
thicknessGAUGE.laser profile sensor systems use laser profile scanners for the thickness measurement. These scanners project a laser line onto the surface to be measured. The laser line compensates for strip tilting and enables profile averaging. The laser line measuring technique makes it possible to measure the thickness of structured materials such as embossed surfaces and perforated plates. |

 |
|
The thicknessGAUGE.laser profile sensor system is used for precise thickness measurements of strips and plates. It can also be used for fixed track measurements, e.g., for center-line measurements (center thickness) or for thickness measurements on the edges. A linear unit enables traversing thickness measurements up to 400 mm strip width. |

|
thicknessGAUGE.confocal
|
|
|
|
The thicknessGAUGE.confocal sensor systems use confocal chromatic displacement sensors for the thickness measurement. The sensors allow for measurements to be performed with outstanding accuracy and high measuring rates. In addition, this innovative measuring technique enables measurements of reflective and shiny surfaces as well as (semi-)transparent measuring objects. |
