The Gocator 5000 series adds powerful line confocal imaging (LCI) technology to the Gocator family of trusted laser and structured light 3D smart sensors.
 
LMI Technologies is pleased to announce the official release of its new Gocator 5500 series of smart 3D line confocal sensors. This introduces the first line confocal sensor running Gocator's trusted smart sensor platform, complete with next-generation on-sensor IIoT vision web-based software, onboard measurement tools, I/O connectivity, and much more.

Gocator 5500 sensors are unique among existing confocal technologies in that they feature a dual-axis design that delivers simultaneous generation of 3D topography, 3D tomography, and 2D intensity data. This allows Gocator 5000 sensors to scan practically any material type––including multi-layered, transparent/translucent, curved edge, shiny, textured, mixed, and many more––with submicron precision, and at a level of quality and speed that outperforms competing confocal technologies.

A quick look at Gocator 5500 sensor capabilities:

Simultaneous generation of multiple profiles from multi-layer structures

Generates 1792 data points per profile

Fast scan rates (Over 10 kHz with PC acceleration)

High X resolution, sub-micron Z precision

Handles wide variety of material types

Dual-axis optical design provides higher signal quality

Runs next-generation onboard measurement and inspection software

“The Gocator 5500 Series introduces a powerfully effective line confocal scanning approach for the inspection of challenging material structures such as multi-layer, transparent and curved edge, and now with next-generation on-sensor IIoT vision software and Gocator’s renowned smart features and capabilities. The result is an end-to-end, user-friendly surface evaluation solution that provides customers with unmatched performance leveraging the industry’s first smart LCI technology“, said Mark Radford, CEO, LMI Technologies.
