Lasers for Image Processing

174

In image processing, lasers are the first choice for producing a line in the 3D light-sectioning method. The laser light can be focused in a fine line onto a surface. Different line generators produce varyingly long lines. In combination with a camera the structure of the surface can be measured.

Fields of Application
FLEXPOINT^® HOM line lasers are commonly used to examine welding seams, adhesive beads, and in simple profile measurements.

Pattern Generators
Crosses, grids, multiple lines, circles, or dot matrices are required for certain measurements tasks. These patterns can be easily produced using so-called diffractive optical elements (DOEs). Instead of using several lasers, a DOE can be applied to the FLEXPOINT^®. It can either be integrated permanently into the module or mounted in a plastic cap.

Individual Pieces or OEM quantities
All FLEXPOINT^® laser modules are available individually or in large
quantities for OEM integration in 3D vision sensors.
