Factory Reality:
Fast-Moving Parts in an Inline Process

Gocator Solution:
High-Speed 3D Profiling

Built-in Profile Mode generates high-density 3D data by combining high-speed range data into a profile of the scanned part. This allows you to easily apply tools for dimensioning and inspecting object geometry.

Complex and Time-Consuming System Setup

Gocator Solution:
Web-Enabled Technologies and Efficient All-in-One Design

  • Connect to a Gocator sensor with any web browser.
  • Generate scans of your object/feature with sophisticated control over triggering, exposure, resolution, part detection, and filtering/gap filling.
  • Built-in point-and-click measurement for full geometric gauging.
  • Ethernet/IP interface is built-in and communicates pass/fail decisions directly to factory equipment (robots, PLCs, or direct I/O).

Part Shape and Position Variation in an Inline Process

Gocator Solution:
Achieve High Gauge Repeatability and Reproducibility (GRR) with Anchoring and Part Matching

  • Built-in Anchoring tracks the movement of parts within the sensor’s field of view and corrects for variations in the height and position of parts.
  • Part Matching automatically performs realignment before applying Gocator’s built-in measurement tools––eliminating the need to mechanically realign parts.

WHY YOU NEED 3D – GEOMETRY MEASUREMENT

 

Unlike 2D, 3D measurement produces geometry data that adds critical information to determine if a part meets key assembly,
fit and finish tolerances for pass/fail decision-making.
