Innovative Green Laser technology from Micro-Epsilon - reliable signal, low noise, maximum precision
As the world's first laser scanners with innovative Green Laser technology, the scanCONTROL 8x00 models offer significantly improved signal stability. Their optimized wavelength reduces noise to a minimum and enables shorter exposure times, greater repeatability and a significantly wider range of applications.
Optimum cooling for high ambient temperatures
All laser scanners can be equipped with cooling units for operation at high ambient temperatures. Passive cooling ribs, active cooling ribs with fans and customized cooling solutions are available for industrial applications such as plastic extrusion or welding processes.
Powerful software for configuration and application solutions
The 3DInspect software enables simple parameter setting and the convenient creation of 2D and 3D measurement programs. The intuitive user interface enables quick and easy configuration of measurement sequences. Via the integrated automation interface, the measurement programs created are directly stored on the scanner for SMART operation. This allows automated measurements without additional control units.
Simple sensor configuration
- Alignment and filtering of the point cloud
- Intuitive detection and selection of relevant areas
- Valid3D: Real 3D point clouds instead of 2.5D evaluation
Powerful programs for autonomous SMART operation
- More than 80 measurement programs for calculating the desired measurement values
