Technical Equipment

Standard M12x1 plug with 4 I/Os and connection option for HTL or RS-422/TTL encoder.

Output of up to 12 million measuring points per second via M12x1 plug with Ethernet TCP/IP 1,000 Mbit/s.

Optimized format for best possible resolution of 2 µm for distance (Z).

Specially developed laser line modules with red or blue light, also for applications involving metals, as well as organic and semitransparent materials. High-power laser performance (laser class 3) for increased resistance to ambient light and high speeds.

Optionally adaptable protective screens and cooling modules offer a wide range of applications even in extreme environments.

Thanks to its open interface, the weCat3D series can be incorporated by means of the DLL program library or the GigE Vision standard without an additional controller.

Integrated electronic system without additional controller including interference-proof profile evaluating algorithms.

Real-time signal processing by means of integrated FPGA technology.

CMOS camera with highly precise resolution of visual field width X with more than 2,000 measuring points as a linearized height profile.

Multilingual operating concept with OLED for displaying IP addresses and setting options via an integrated web server.

Optimized profile quality even with black and glossy objects by means of HDR function with highly precise resolution (Z) down to 2.0 µm thanks to the CMOS camera with noise suppression and high-performance optics.

Special high-performance optics for visual field widths X within a range of 30 to 720 mm.

Standard M12x1 plug with 4 I/Os and connection option for HTL or RS-422/TTL encoder.

Output of up to 3.6 million measuring points per second via M12x1 plug with Ethernet TCP/IP (1,000 Mbit/s).

Compact format with largest possible working ranges and visual field widths.

Specially developed laser line modules with red or blue light, also for applications involving metals, as well as organic and semitransparent materials. High-power laser performance (laser class 3) for increased resistance to ambient light and high speeds.
