In this video Michael Fisher, an application engineer, demos the surface plane advanced tool with a Gocator 3000 series snapshot sensor. The surface plane advanced tool is able to automatically calculate a plane that maps onto the 3D scan data.

The Stitch tool lets you combine up to 24 frames of scans into a single Surface scan. This lets you get a much larger scan volume with fewer sensors (either in a single sensor system or a multi-sensor system). For each scan, you can specify not only X, Y, and Z offsets (translations), but also X, Y, and Z angles (rotations), defining its relationship with the others. This means that when the sensor system is mounted to a robot, or if you are using, for example, an X-Y table, you can get a complete scan with fewer sensors. The resulting combined scan can then be used as input by any other Surface or Feature tool from its Stream drop-down.

Application engineer Michael Fisher walks though the benefits and functionality of Gocator's built-in part detection tool. Part detection is useful when measurements on individual parts are needed and for robotic pick and place applications. It can separate each part moving on a conveyor into different scans, so that a custom tool chain can be applied to each part separately. Part detection is extremely customizable, giving users control over exactly what part will be detected.
