LMI Technologies Launches Industry-First Smart 3D Line Confocal Sensors

Gocator® 5500 sensors are unique among existing confocal technologies in that they feature a dual-axis design that delivers simultaneous generation of 3D topography, 3D tomography, and 2D intensity data. This allows Gocator® 5000 sensors to scan practically any material type including multi-layered, transparent/translucent, curved edge, shiny, textured, mixed, and many more with submicron precision, and at a level of quality and speed that outperforms competing confocal technologies.

A quick look at Gocator 5500 sensor capabilities:

• Simultaneous generation of multiple profiles from multi-layer structures
• Generates 1792 data points per profile
• Fast scan rates (Over 10 kHz with PC acceleration)
• High X resolution, sub-micron Z precision
• Handles wide variety of material types
• Dual-axis optical design provides higher signal quality
• Runs next-generation onboard measurement and inspection software

“The Gocator® 5500 Series introduces a powerfully effective line confocal scanning approach for the inspection of challenging material structures such as multi-layer, transparent and curved edge, and now with next-generation on-sensor IIoT vision software and Gocator’s renowned smart features and capabilities. The result is an end-to-end, user-friendly surface evaluation solution that provides customers with unmatched performance leveraging the industry’s first smart LCI technology“, said Mark Radford, CEO, LMI Technologies.
