Overview
Reliability, Capablility, and Intellegence Built-in
The chroma+scan family of 3D sensors are high speed, high density sensors designed for a broad spectrum of industrial applications where measurement of large areas is required. These leading edge sensors are designed to produce highly accurate and reliable data for today’s high-production machine centers.
All chroma+scan sensors are based on either laser line or high density multi-point (many laser points) technology to measure surface profiles. Many chroma+scan sensors also include integrated 2D color imaging capability, providing not only object geometric data but also surface quality data that enables automated detection of defects.
All chroma+scan sensors are intelligent, with internal processing so the sensor output is calibrated linearized data in engineering units. For large area inspection, data from banks of multiple sensors are combined through our Network Masters, delivering contiguous profiles, fully synchronized into a single harmonized output file.
The chroma+scan family of 3D sensors do the hard work so you can focus on what you do best.
2000 Family
Accuracy, Reliability, and Value
The chroma+scan 2000 family sensors use laser line technology to provide 3D profile information on manufactured goods as they travel through the inspection station. All sensors in the 2000 family use binocular triangulation (two cameras, one on either side of the laser line) to provide continuous data without dropouts, even on surfaces with steps in the profile.
The sensors in the 2000 family provide large stand off for easy implementation in manufacturing lines. They have a common footprint, but provide a selection of scan rates to meet specific line speed requirements. Lower scan rate sensors can be easily upgraded to higher speeds if inspection speeds need to be increased.
The 2000 Family of sensors can be combined to form a full 360 degree profile around the material to be measured, such as an extrusion, or side by side to measure wide material, such as a web application, measuring some of the largest materials.
2400 Family
Full High-density Dimensional Profiling
The chroma+scan 2400 family sensors project multiple laser lines from each sensor to provide 3D profile information on manufactured goods which are stationary or moving slowly in the inspection station.
The family includes models with either 4 or 8 separate laser lines at a selection of line spacing, with each line providing a full high density dimensional profile. If the work piece moves even a small amount in the longitudinal direction during inspection, very high density over the full surface is provided.
With several models in different sizes and laser line configurations, these sensors fit the needs of many applications. Very large standoff provides easy implementation in many inspection applications.
For larger objects, chroma+scan 2400 sensors can be mounted end to end or around the object for a complete surface profile, while maintaining the same high accuracy.
3000 Family
True Differential Measurement
The chroma+scan 3000 family of multi-point sensors provide high speed, high density 3D scanning for profiling objects moving in line. Each sensor projects 76 separate laser spots on the surface, with 3D profile data provided for each laser point.
The chroma+scan 3000 sensors are available in models for 3D profile only as well as models providing both 3D profiles and 2D surface images for applications requiring analysis of surface features such as automated defect detection.
For larger objects, chroma+scan 3000 sensors can be mounted end to end for a very large field of view, while maintaining the same high accuracy. The laser spots from the 3000 family are coplanar so they can be aligned top-to-bottom and side-to-side down the length of the system for true differential measurement.
4000 Family
Expands Your Field of View, Not Your Costs
The chroma+scan 4000 family are laser line sensors designed to measure the profile of relatively flat, large panels. Each sensor has a 1.4 m (55.12”) field of view, much wider than traditional line sensors. Profiling wide panels can be done with far fewer sensors than previously required, reducing cost, integration effort, and simplifying integration and maintenance. For inspection of panels wider than the individual sensor field of view, multiple sensors are easily integrated to provide a single measured profile to the system controller.
High density profile data from the 4000 family is used for process monitoring, quality control and for control of downstream finishing operations.
