Gocator 3D snapshot sensors combine blue-LED structured light with built-in 3D measurement tools for high-precision area scanning and inspection. As opposed to lasers that are used to scan moving objects, snapshot sensors use a single snapshot scan to inspect stationary objects or objects with start/stop motion.
Smart 3D Robot Vision with Gocator®
Gocator® 3D snapshot sensors are certified for integration with UR3, UR5, UR10, and UR e-series robots—providing robot vision-guidance, quality control inspection, and automated assembly with smart pick-and-place.
Ideal for inline applications where objects are momentarily stationary such as robotic inspection and pick-and-place, snapshot sensors minimize the cost of expensive motion system components and errors due to vibration.
In addition to their powerful scanning engines, every Gocator high-resolution structured light 3D snapshot sensor comes with next-generation dual-core controllers, which significantly increase onboard processing speed to match inline production speed.
Stereo cameras see more data and therefore produce less occlusions. With a single camera, any occlusion caused by surface geometry that blocks projected light or the camera’s view will result in no data. Stereo cameras, on the other hand, effectively use three views of the part to capture more data.
Rugged housing, small form factor, and light weight make these sensors ideal for fitting into small spaces and mounting on robots. Gocator snapshot sensors feature an IP67-rated design with an industrial projector offering lifetimes up to 10 years of continuous operation.
