Micro Epsilon scanCONTROL 2D/3D profile scanner

The Micro Epsilon 2D/3D profile scanner from Bestech Australia, scanCONTROL, utilises the principle of laser triangulation sensors for detection of 2D profiles of different objects. This is achieved using special lenses to enlarge a laser beam to form a static laser line that is projected onto the target surface. The diffusely reflective light is collected on a highly sensitive sensor matrix to generate the 2D profile of the objects. A three-dimensional profile can be generated in case of measuring moving objects or using a traversing sensor.

The scanCONTROL profile scanner utilises advanced technology for measuring profiles with 4 kHz frequency. Therefore, it is suitable for inline measurement of gap, profile, edge, step and angle in the industry. It also features a compact and robust design for applications in processing lines and areas where space is limited. The real-time surface compensation feature of the sensor is designed to offer reliable and stable measurement independent of surface condition.

Available with different laser types, this 2D profile scanner has several possibilities for applications in the food industry. The conventional red laser version is suitable for use in packaging or manufacturing lines to verify the size of the manufactured product or packages. The blue laser version is suitable when used to measure organic materials. It has been previously used as part of a quality control system in chocolate production to identify the profile of the chocolate bar.
