WHY YOU NEED 3D
3D technology captures the shape of an object as opposed to 2D which only captures contrast. With 3D shape, you can measure geometric features on a surface regardless of surface color.
In summary, 3D offers:
- Volumetric measurement (X,Y, and Z-axis) provides shape and position related parameters
- Contrast invariant, ideal for inspecting low contrast objects
- Immune to minor lighting variation or ambient light
- Higher repeatability due to integrated optics, lighting, and pre-calibration
- Simpler to build multi-sensor setups for large object inspection
That's just the beginning! To learn more, read our 2D+3D white paper.
Test Drive a Virtual Gocator® 3D Smart Sensor
The ultimate sensor emulator is here.
Choose from a variety of application scenarios, then use an exact duplicate of the Gocator interface. Perform measurements on pre-recorded data from a variety of scanned components—all in a web browser-based "virtual sensor" environment. Right from your desktop. Without the need for a physical sensor. You can use Emulator online, via download, or for sample testing of your part.
