03 - AT - Automation Technology: 3D scans up to ten times faster
AT - Automation Technology has developed a sensor chip which, according to the company, makes the 3D sensors of the C6-3070 series the fastest in the world. The reason for the fast 3D scans is the on-chip processing of the 3D sensor chip: This recognizes the laser line and compresses it without loss using intelligent algorithms. As a result, the sensor achieves a 3D profile pixel rate of 128 megapixels, for example, with an ROI of 200 lines at a profile speed of 42 kHz. In order to achieve the highest possible profile rates, regions of interest (ROI) are first defined within the sensor. Region tracking' is also available. This means that the ROI is also optimally positioned around the laser line for components that move during the measurement process and are not fixed. Highly intelligent 3D algorithms automatically ensure that the height information of the scanned object is extracted with high precision. Standards such as GeniCam 3.0 and features such as Multipart and MultiPeak are supported.
