Utilising a 3D laser profiler from LMI Technologies, a German research institute has developed a rivet inspection system which has reduced assembly errors in the aerospace sector, as MEPCA found out.

This article explores a range of fast, accurate, non-contact laser sensors for automated assembly, with insights from LMI CEO Terry Arden and a look at various technologies including the new Gocator 2512 3D line profiler for scanning glass and other specular surfaces.

FEATUREGlass enclosures are rapidly becoming the standard in mobile device design such as cell phones, tablets, and watches. This is primarily driven by the larger trend toward 5G connectivity, where use of metal enclosures interfere with signal strength. Glass, shiny metal, and plastics pose a major challenge for quality control inspection as these materials are highly specular and not well-suited to traditional laser measurement technologies.

Discover how the Gocator® 3210 snapshot sensor provides smart 3D vision for robotic pick-and-place in an automotive assembly cell.
