Modern sawmills choose LMI 3D vision sensors for their reliability in tough environments, speed, ease of use, technical documentation, and world leading customer support. Gocators are built from the ground up with an all-in-one design philosophy, allowing sensors to be easily mounted and generating accurate raw data within 15 min of unboxing. In this video, we will walk through the full process of turning raw logs into boards of different sizes. This includes explaining what every LMI sensor in this particular sawmill does and how the laser technology plays a crucial role in optimizing wood recovery, making sawmills more profitable and sustainable.

Silin Gan talks though a VR headset inspection application that was demoed at Vision China 2023 in Shenzhen. He also discusses some of the exciting new features of the remastered 2600 series Gocator sensors.
In the pharmaceutical and medical industries, materials are used whose surfaces cannot be detected with a sufficiently high quality for conventional scanning technologies. A close-meshed, regular and comprehensive visual inspection of microplates requires full concentration of high qualified staff and has a high workload.
An automated solution based on a powerful robot, a smart line confocal sensor and a user-friendly operator interface was not available on the market before. For the flatness inspection of microplates the most common method is still tactile measurement on a CMM. Especially for plastic materials this method has a big Impact, since the touch of the probe itself leads to a misrepresented result. Besides that this method is also a user dependent. Optical measurement approaches like laser line triangulation do not work on all surfaces – especially translucent ones. As of yet there has been no solution, that suits the whole variety of microplate materials. With its novel line confocal technology, LMI can provide sensors that can capture the surfaces of very challenging materials in the highest 3D scan data quality.
Especially for materials such as black, white, translucent, the GOCATOR 5516 is the perfect solution. It’s the basis of the OCTUM inspection system, which is integrated into the Pharmabotix 3D Inspect cell. In this use case, measurements are made of flatness, length and width.
Lorelei Guidos from Raptor Integration describes the machine vision solutions deployed at Porcupine Wood Products in Salmo, BC. These include a 360° cant scanner, a flitch scanner, and a board scanner. Each solution maximizes wood recovery and streamlines the grading process. At this mill, the machine vision systems have increased wood output by 15%, which is significant as log prices climb.
Semiconductor manufacturing is extremely complex. It involves hundreds of steps that require precise control of temperature, pressure, chemical reactions, and light exposure. Any deviation from the optimal conditions can result in defects or variations that affect the functionality and reliability of the final product. That’s why semiconductor manufacturers need to inspect every wafer at every stage of the process using advanced metrology and inspection tools. In this video, we take a look at some semiconductor manufacturing quality control tasks that are solved with G5 sensors.
