The high-performing scanCONTROL laser profile scanners from Micro Epsilon are said to feature good accuracy and measuring rates. They are also compact and can be easily integrated in industrial environment and applications in areas where space is limited.

Bestech Australia announces the release of the high-resolution scanCONTROL 30xx/BL laser scanner for dynamic measurement applications that require a system with high resolution. The laser scanner is primarily used for process automation tasks, but can also be applied in production, process monitoring and quality control. It includes a High Dynamic Range (HDR) feature which offers additional exposure and control features for generating measurements on challenging surfaces.

The scanner is available with a measuring range of 25 and 50 mm along the laser line with a capability to measure up to 5.5 million points per second and generate up to 2048 measuring points per profile. This translates to a fine X-axis resolution of 12 µm, which is suitable for measuring heterogenous surfaces. The sensor also offers a high measuring speed of 10 kHz for dynamic and high-speed measurement applications.

The output values from the scanCONTROL 30xx/BL are available via the EtherNET or RS422 interface. As the product is designed for industrial measurement tasks, it is also available with the optional gateway to enable integration with other popular industrial communication interfaces such as ProfiNET, EtherCAT or Ethernet/IP industrial control systems.

The scanCONTROL 30xx/BL is also available with blue laser technology. The blue laser diode generates short-wavelength laser light which hardly penetrates the objects. This provides advantages in some measurement applications particularly when used in measuring organic materials or objects with shiny, reflective and highly polished surfaces. Some examples include wood or semi-transparent objects such as adhesive beads or plastic objects. The laser scanner also sharply projects blue laser line on the surface which is reflected back onto the sensor elements. This configuration should ensure stable and precise measurement results.
