The new scanCONTROL BL range of 2D/3D laser profile sensors operates using blue laser technology rather than red. The special characteristics of the blue wavelength laser light make the scanners suitable for a wide range of high precision profile and dimensional measurements on a variety of materials including shiny surfaces, red-hot glowing metals, organic materials, as well as transparent or semi-transparent materials such as plastics, glass, optical components and film/substrates.
The sensors offer similar features to Micro-Epsilon's proven scanCONTROL series of laser profile scanners that use red laser technology. All the controls and electronics are integrated in an lightweight, compact sensor design, enabling the scanners to be installed on robot arms or on machines where there may be little space available for mounting.
