Overview
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.
Features
Occlusion Free Scanning
The chroma+scan 2000 family of sensors use dual camera technology, one camera on each side of the laser line, to generate a detailed model of an entire 3D surface of manufactured products without losing important data at obstructions such as steps on the surface.
Dead Zone Editing
Using built-in tools to ignore background lighting and reflections, this sensor provides more flexibility in typical manufacturing environments by removing unwanted artifacts from the field of view.
Total Surface Measurement
chroma+scan 2000 family of sensors are designed to achieve fast scan rates, with solid results on dark surfaces (equivalent to level 18 on the Kodak gray scale chart) and also are insensitive to image saturation on light colored surfaces. Performance is impressive in ambient light conditions found in many manufacturing environments.
Easily Upgradable to Faster Scan Rate Models
At a scan rate of 250 Hz, chroma+scan 2015 sensors are fast enough to provide high density profile data at most manufacturing line speeds. If higher density data is required, or line speeds are increased, a simple upgrade to faster 2025 or 2045 models is easily accomplished using the same connections and mounting.
* chroma+scan 20x5 sensors are interchangeable with chroma+scan 20x0 sensors (previous models).
Multi Sensor Calibration Tools
Where multiple chroma+scan 2000 family sensors are installed to cover the full surface area of large components, software tools are provided to calibrate data from all sensors into a single common global coordinate system, based on use of a known geometry artifact.
