2D Profile Measurement Sensor - The AccuProfile™ 620

> See below for technical data DOWNLOADS

The AccuProfile™620 Laser Profile Sensor measures surface heights by projecting a beam of visible laser light that creates a line on a target surface. Reflected light from the surface is viewed from an angle by a two-dimensional CMOS detector array inside the AP620 sensor. The 2D contour profile is calculated by the scanner’s microprocessor from the pixel data from the diffusely - reflected laser line. The height distance profile is transmitted through ethernet communications to a PC computer. Real-time 3D profiling is created by synchronizing the position of the scanner with encoder inputs from conveyors, linear stages or robotic movements. A variety of models are specified, each to allow a different measurement range and field of view.

This measuring instrument emits a laser line from a semiconductor laser diode. The laser class of the system may vary, depending the model's measurement range and standoff distance. Additionally, users control the laser power through configuration parameters set through the ethernet interface. This control of laser power allow users to customize the sensor for particular target reflectivities, turning up the laser power for black surfaces and down for bright surfaces.

There are three different case designs for the AP620 series of laser profile sensors. Each has its own industrial design attributes and mechanical dimensions. The shortest-range units use the most compact case which has the minimal footprint. Mounting to this model is on the side and along the center axis, allowing fits into round tubes and other tight spaces. The longer-range scanners are in a larger case. All enclosures are robust in design and are rated IP67 for ingress of water and dust. See the list below for pertinent documents available for download.
