Large focal depth, simultaneous 3D, 2D, and tomographic images are produced by line confocal sensors. The measuring of highly reflecting, mirror-like, transparent, curved, sloping, high-contrast, soft, brittle, and porous materials is an area in which these sensors excel.
The primary benefit of line confocal sensors is their capacity to simultaneously produce 2D intensity data, 3D tomography (multi-layer 3D), and 3D topography (3D surface geometry) throughout a 2k line scan at high scan speeds (e.g., 3-16 kHz).
The off-axis design allows for multi-layer (tomography) scanning while confocal scanning eliminates undesired reflections from glossy metal surfaces.
In comparison to rival machine vision technologies, 3D line confocal sensors have the following advantages:Since the imaging is based on the raw data, the analysis doesn’t require any further filtering because you can measure what you can see.
Any colour combination, whether glossy or matte, dark or light, can be measured. All surface types, including mirror-like, glossy, transparent, translucent, concave, convex, soft, and porous, can be assessed, offers laboratory-level precision and resolving power for fast inline imaging.
Global 3D line confocal sensor market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
FocalSpec sensors make use of a proprietary optical technique called 3D line confocal imaging, in which white light emitted from a sensor’s transmitter is divided into a continuous spectrum of wavelengths and projected onto an object so that each wavelength corresponds to a different height position.
The “in focus” wavelengths that are reflected return to the optical receiver of the sensor, which converts wavelength fluctuation to height variation. The sensor’s off-axis construction enables it to perform multi-layer 3D tomography scanning, 2D intensity scanning, and 3D topography scanning all at once.
High-quality 3D scan results can be obtained by scanning opaque, translucent, or transparent (glass) surfaces with FocalSpec 3D line confocal sensors that can be integrated into real-time inline inspection and manufacturing systems.
