AP820 Laser Scanner - Technical Data

> See below for technical data DOWNLOADS

The AccuProfile™820 Laser Scanners uses triangulation measurement principles to measure displacements and surface heights by emitting 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 CCD detector array inside the AP820 sensor. The two-dimensional 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.

The scanner's sophisticated CCD detector affords the highest dynamic optical range, allowing these devices to measure almost any kind of opaque surface, shiny or matte, bright or dark. Additionally, the sensor performs well on sharp edges and transitions, where other sensor may produce noisy results. All of this is achieved through relatively low laser powers and permissible laser classes.

There are several different case designs for the AP820 series of laser scanners. See the photo above. Each has its own industrial design attributes and mechanical dimensions. Common accessories include a cooling module for hot environments and a protective lens shield.
