- Perspective distortion
- Lens distortion
- Laser non-linearity
- Manufacturing tolerances
Maintain your competitive edge with innovative technologies
Integrated optics: Embedded optics and laser illumination eliminate the need for lenses and lighting to be evaluated, tested, and purchased for every application.
Optimized resolution: Technology integration enables more precise measurements, detection of smaller defects, and more reliable control than other 3D sensors.
Advanced filtering: Unique filtering process generates highly accurate images of products with complex surface features, such as glass, specular, and highly reflective surfaces.
