Made for industrial series production
For numerous industrial applications, our profile sensors can record data and transfer the triangulation result directly to a central controller – an external PC is not required. Powerful FPGAs in combination with a dual-core ARM processor, which can be used for the specific application tasks, provide the necessary computing power.
The VC nano 3D-Z can not only evaluate the scanned 3D profiles, but also the 2D grey scale image, e.g. to detect defects in the surface. This makes the profile sensors suitable for a wide range of applications and at the same time impresses with a favourable price-performance ratio.
Alternatively, the 3D point clouds and image data captured by the nano 3D-Z can also be analysed on an external PC and with existing applications.

Technologies for reliable measurement results
Advanced Temperature Stability Technology
The laser profilers feature our new Advanced Temperature Stability Technology (ATS). The temperature stability has been improved by the use of special materials for the components.
Ambient Light Suppression Technology
The ‘Ambient Light Suppression Technology’ (ALST) developed by us makes the blue laser line of the VC nano 3D-Z always visible. Measurements with the profile sensors are possible even in ambient light levels of up to 100,000 lux. The high insensitivity to ambient light is based on the combination of an extremely powerful laser and very short shutter speeds.
