2D Profile Scanners

Laser Scanners for surface dimensions and contours

Situated in the heart of Silicon Valley, Vibrance Solutions sells local clients cutting-edge dimensional measurement products from Acuity. The scanners measure surface heights by projecting a beam of visible laser light that creates a line on a target surface. Reflected light from the surface is viewed from an angle by a two-dimensional CMOS detector array inside the scanner head. The 2D contour profile is calculated by the scanner’s microprocessor from the pixel data from the diffusely-reflected laser line. The height distance profile is transmitted through ethernet communications to a PC computer.

Real-time 3D profiling is created by synchronizing the position of the scanner with encoder inputs from conveyors, linear stages or robotic movements.

Acuity offers several models which vary based on measurement range, field of view, speed and accuracy. All are designed for industrial environments and dimensional verification of semiconductor heights, electronics case tolerances, weld bead profiling, gap measurements or bulk material profiling on a conveyor.
