3D-A1000 Item Detection Video Thumb
Key Features
A snapshot of what the 3D-A1000 does best
Unlike conventional methods, the 3D-A1000 uses patented 3D Symbolic Light technology to freeze motion with a single image. It gathers precise 3D and 2D information without the need for an encoder or complex calibrations. Built-in processing then provides thorough inspections of your carriers and production line.
The 3D-A1000 is factory-focused and calibrated, making system integration as simple as mounting. Unlike conventional systems that demand precise alignment, complex lighting, and difficult programming, the 3D-A1000 can be installed by anyone in under 15 minutes, thanks to an intuitive setup wizard.
- Step 1: Connect without the hassle of software downloads and installation procedures.
- Step 2: Intuitive wizard simulates the installation environment to help with mounting and optimization.
- Step 3: In under 15 minutes, the system is ready to run and auto-certify.

Applications
Item detection across different sorter systems
With the 3D-A1000 Item Detection System you can improve sorting efficiency by detecting the presence or absence of objects and their position on sorter trays.
Detecting overhanging product
The 3D-A1000 Item Detection System prevents product loss by detecting overhanging objects on sorter trays.
Detecting spanning conditions on sorter trays
The 3D-A1000 Item Detection System reduces processing errors by spotting objects that are spanning more than one sorter tray.
Detecting presence or absence of objects on sorter trays
The 3D-A1000 Item Detection System reduces process errors by using 3D and 2D data to detect the presence or absence of objects on sorter trays and reporting empty trays.
