The scanCONTROL laser-line profile sensor makes use of the triangulation principle for the two-dimensional acquisition of profiles on the most varied of target surfaces. In contrast to familiar point laser sensors, a line optical system projects a laser line onto the surface of the object to be measured. The back-scattered light from the laser line is registered on a sensor matrix. Along with distance information (z-axis), the controller also calculates the true position along the laser line (x-axis) from the camera image and outputs both values in the sensor two-dimensional coordinate system. A moving object or sensor will generate a three-dimensional representation of the object.

Advantages and Special Features N/A N/A Compactness. Performance. Integration.
Laser profile scanners from Micro-Epsilon are among the highest performing profile sensors with respect to accuracy and measuring rate. Equipped with powerful processors and highly sensitive optical components, these scanners ensure precise profile measurements on nearly any type of surface.
While they can be integrated in various environments, the scanners also impress with a compact design which includes an integrated controller.

Direct processing in the integrated controller
The scanCONTROL laser scanners have an integrated controller and therefore do not require any external control unit. This considerably simplifies wiring and the integration into restricted spaces. The available interfaces make it possible to integrate the scanners in industrial environments. For multi-scanner applications, interface modules are available.

Red and Blue Laser
Laser scanners from Micro-Epsilon are available with red and blue laser. For common measurement tasks, scanCONTROL laser scanners with red laser line are used. With objects into which the laser light penetrates, such as transparent or organic surfaces, blue laser scanners are recommended. Blue Laser scanners are also ideal for red-hot glowing metals.

Patent protection for (semi-)transparent surfaces and red-hot glowing objects
Measurement tasks involving blue laser scanners measuring on red-hot glowing measurement objects exceeding 700 °C and transparent objects such as glass and plastics are protected by patent law. With profile measurements on these surfaces, scanCONTROL laser scanners achieve excellent signal stability and precise measurement results. Any questions about Blue Laser scanners? We will be pleased to advise you.

    Real Time Surface Compensation: Dynamic adaption to rapidly changing surfaces
    Laser profile scanners use diffusely reflected laser light of which the intensity is highly dependent on the color and how shiny and reflective the respective component is. In order to be able to measure reliably under rapidly changing conditions, scanCONTROL sensors offer the Real-Time-Surface-Compensation feature. Due to this smart feature, the exposure time and the threshold of reflection detection are adapted in real time in order to generate stable measurement results. Moreover, the scanCONTROL 3000 series comes with an HDR function which ensures accurate detection of inhomogeneous surfaces.

    Measuring Principle N/A N/A Precise laser scanners for automation, robotics and machine building
    The scanCONTROL laser scanners detect, measure and evaluate profiles on various object surfaces with high precision. With different laser types and comprehensive accessories, numerous measurement tasks can be solved in different industries.

    The principle of laser line triangulation
    Laser scanners - often referred to as profile sensors - use the laser triangulation principle for two-dimensional profile detection on different target surfaces. By using special lenses, a laser beam is enlarged to form a static laser line and is projected onto the target surface. The receiving optics projects the diffusely reflected light of this laser line onto a highly sensitive sensor matrix. In addition to distance information (z-axis), the controller also uses this camera image to calculate the position along the laser line (x-axis). These measured values are subsequently output in a two-dimensional coordinate system that is fixed with respect to the sensor. In the case of moving objects or a traversing sensor, it is therefore possible to obtain 3D measurement values.

    Compact design for precise measurement tasks
    The design of the LLT 29xx series is focused on compact size and low weight. The controller is integrated in the housing, simplifying cabling arrangements and mechanical integration. Due to its compact design and the high profile resolution, the LLT29xx series is especially suitable for static, dynamic and robotic applications.

    Interfaces for universal integration
    The multi-function port can be used for power supply, as data output, for switching parameters, as trigger input or for synchronizing several scanCONTROL sensors. During synchronous operation, an integrated mode can be used to operate the sensors alternately compensating for overlapping laser lines. One scanner is measuring whilst the other laser line is switched off. The scanners can be supplied via Ethernet if necessary. If Industrial Ethernet is used as data output, only one cable will remain that connects the sensor to the periphery.
    For all SMART sensors, the measurement data output can be carried out in three different ways, e.g., via Ethernet UDP, Modbus TCP or serial. Micro-Epsilon converters enable data transmission via analog signals, digital switching signals, PROFINET, Ethernet/IP or EtherCAT.

    Small measuring range with high resolution
    With a laser line of just 10 mm, the LLT29xx-10/BL models recognize the finest of details and structures. The high profile resolution combined with the blue laser line allow for maximum precision destined for versatile applications, e.g., in the electronics production.

    Available with patented Blue Laser Technology
    The Blue Laser technology uses a laser diode with a shorter wavelength of 405 nm. The outstanding characteristics of this wavelength range enable measurements on red-hot glowing metals, (semi-)transparent and organic objects.
