High-speed, in-line height measurement and inspection

Z-Trak™2 is a new family of 3D profile sensors built on Teledyne Imaging’s 3D image sensor technology, ushering in a new era of 5GigE 3D profile sensors for high-speed, in-line 3D applications.

Models deliver scan speeds of up to 45,000 profiles per second and features built-in HDR and reflection compensation algorithms to handle surfaces with varying degrees of reflectivity in a single scan. This delivers in-line height measurements for inspection, detection, identification, and guidance in electronics, semiconductor, automotive and factory automation markets segments.

Delivering scan speeds of up to 45,000 profiles/sec
Offering 2K points per profile, all Z-Trak2 models are factory calibrated and offered with either blue or red eye safe lasers to suit various surface properties and operating environments. All sensors are housed in IP67 enclosures for harsh environments and come bundled free with Teledyne Imaging’s Sherlock 8.1 —a point-and-click, rapid application development software package, Sapera Processing RTLs and Sapera LT SDK.

FEATURES INCLUDE

• Up to 2K points/profile; scan rate up to 45K profiles/sec
• Built-in single frame HDR
• 360° inspection and occlusion removal
• Handles varying surface reflectivity to deliver consistent results
• Multi-Sensor Synchronization using single, low cost setup
• IP67 enclosure for harsh operating conditions
• Sherlock 8.1 for rapid application deployment
• Red and blue models
• Reflection compensation algorithms
• Diffused or spurious topologies
• 1, 2.5 and 5GigE interface

IDS ENSENSO N SERIES
No reviews yet.
Working distance 270-3000 mm

The Ensenso N-Series is designed specifically for use in rough environmental conditions. Thanks to its compact design, the N-Series is equally suitable for 3D detection of moving and stationary objects in a space-saving stationary or mobile application on a robot arm. Even under difficult lighting conditions, the integrated projector projects a high-contrast texture onto the object using a pattern mask with a random dot pattern, thus filing in the structures that are not present or only weakly present on the object's surface. All cameras are pre-calibrated and therefore easy to set up.


Industrial suitability
The lockable GPIO connectors for trigger and flash also make all models suitable for industrial use. For particularly high demands on robustness, both Ensenso N30 and Ensenso N40 3D camera series are available with IP65/67 protection class and thus protected against dirt, dust, splash water or cleaning agents.



Lightweight and cost-optimised - the N40 series
The completely decoupled 3D stereo electronics of the new N40 series allows the use of a lightweight plastic composite as housing material, which makes it possible to manufacture the 3D camera family more cost-effectively.

The reduced weight also makes Ensenso N40 models applicable to collaborative robotic arms, whose driving forces are limited to protect the human colleague. The haptics of the plastic surface and rounded edges also help to minimise injuries.


For highest demands - the N30 series
The aluminium housing of the N30 models ensures optimum heat dissipation of the electronic components and thus a stable light output even under extreme environmental conditions. This ensures the consistently high quality and robustness of the 3D data.

The metal construction also allows a very flexible and robust mounting of the CMOS sensors with vergence angles of 2° to 10°, which makes it possible to realise application scenarios with very short object distances.
