High-Precision 3D Sensors

With the new 3D sensor from the XCS series, AT – Automation Technology is launching a product that is particularly suitable for high-performance applications in the electronics industry thanks to its enormous precision and extreme speed. The sensor is characterized by an optimized laser with homogeneous thickness along the laser line, which guarantees precise detection of even the smallest structures. This enables high-precision inspection applications with high repeatability, which is ideal for the inspection of ball grid arrays (BGAs), among other things. The innovative clean beam function protects the laser from external interference and ensures a uniform intensity distribution, which further increases reliability. The sensor’s dual-head option eliminates occlusions and achieves profile speeds of up to 140 kHz with the 3070 WARP version, speeding up data analysis and increasing efficiency.

    What are the hardware requirements for operating the 3d sensors?

    A network card that supports at least Gigabit Ethernet is required to operate the devices. A separate network port is recommended for each connected camera. The CPU and graphics card requirements depend on the application and are therefore specified by the image processing software used.

    What do I need to bear in mind regarding the electrical installation for 3D sensors?

    The electrical installation differs between cameras, compact sensors, and modular compact sensors. It is important to observe the specific information for the respective model to avoid damage to the device. We recommend using our IO panel.

    Product Documentation
    What do I need to consider when using an encoder?

    Profile recording can be synchronized by an external encoder signal. The encoder is specified for TTL levels and should not have signal levels above 5V DC, as higher voltages can damage the device.

    The maximum number of lines is not enough to accommodate the entire object. What can I do to extend the frame?

    Instead of extending the frame, you can split the recording into multiple frames without any loss of data. With the FrameBurstStart trigger, you can trigger multiple frames with a single start signal.

    Product Documentation
    Can the 3D sensors communicate directly with a PLC?

    The C6 series has two digital inputs and two digital outputs that can be connected to a PLC.

    Are AT’s 3D sensors “smart 3D sensors”?

    The term “smart sensor” generally refers to the evaluation of measurement data within the device itself. These sensors only transmit the results via their communication interfaces (e.g., Ethernet, Profinet, Modbus, or MQTT). AT’s 3D sensors, on the other hand, transmit the profile data to a PC via the GigE Vision interface. The data is then processed on the PC. AT 3D sensors are high-resolution, high-speed profile sensors. The amount of data generated by such sensors usually exceeds the performance capabilities of the CPUs built into cameras.

    What is the warranty duration for the 3D sensors?

    All CS, MCS and XCS series products are covered by a 2-year warranty, but the warranty for ECS products is only 1 year.

    How do I know which 3D sensor is right for my application?

    With our 25 years of expertise as component manufacturers in the field of 3D image processing, we have comprehensive knowledge in 3D laser triangulation sensor applications. Therefore, we can offer you optimal advice on which sensor is best for your application. Feel free to reach out to our sales team with confidence: [email protected].
