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.

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.

Application engineer Lars Fermum walks through the benefits and process of setting up pattern matching in GoPxL software. Pattern matching is a search algorithm that allows users to locate parts, no matter their orientation. Batching is also discussed in this video (the ability to apply a toolchain to multiple parts in the same scan automatically).

Application Engineer Torsten Huth discusses the various GoPxL tools used in a chicken breast scanning application. These tools define the position and rotation of the chicken breast. The outputs of the tools can trigger pass/fail decisions enabling automated processing of the meat.
