Join Frank Zhu, Field Application Engineer at LMI Technologies China, as he guides you through the unboxing, installation, and setup of the Gocator 4020, a cutting-edge 3D coaxial line confocal sensor from the Gocator 4000 series. In this step-by-step tutorial, you’ll learn how to mount the sensor, connect essential cables, and prepare the system for precise 3D scanning of complex surfaces, such as semiconductor substrates. Frank will walk you through configuring the sensor settings using the GoPxL web UI, optimizing for maximum accuracy and speed, and demonstrate how Gocator’s advanced tools enhance project evaluation and measurement tasks. Whether you’re new to 3D inspection or looking to refine your skills, this video is your go-to guide for getting the most out of your Gocator 4020.

Application engineer Bobby Breyer goes from unboxing 4 new Gocator 2670's to a full log scan in GoPxL, demonstrating every step from start to finish.

Field Application Engineer Team Lead Bobby Breyer walks through the process of aligning 4 Gocator sensors to the same coordinate system using a polygon block.

Application engineer Damian Grzegocki walks through the process of creating a simple measurement in Gocator and then sending it through various PLC protocols. This includes a detailed look at Profinet and how it is used to control GoPxL.

Application Engineer Kevin Puklicz demos the power of the array decision and array index tools in GoPxL. The Array Decision tool takes an array of measurements as input and applies individual minimum / maximum thresholds to one or more of the array elements. The tool returns results related to fails (number of fails, index and value of max/min fail, as well as arrays of failed measurements and their indices). The Array Index tool extracts a single piece of data (such as a profile or a surface) from the array it takes as input at the position (the index) you specify.

Field Application Engineering Team Lead Marion Zsitko walks through the steps necessary to run a Gocator sensor through the GoPxL SDK.

Application engineer Dariusz Borowczak demonstrates several techniques to reduce the amount of reflection noise from a shiny metal surface. These include finding an optimal exposure time as well as using a custom firmware version for shiny surfaces.

In this video, field application engineer Caroline Engels walks through the process of getting optimal scan data from three different surfaces. A G2 profile line scanner is used for this demo. Gocator sensors ship with a number of advanced scan acquisition settings that can be tuned to acquire the best possible scan data from any given target.
