Gocator 3500 series- a choice for inline inspections where reduced complexity and cost are driving factors
Built on the typical Gocator "scan, measure, control" capability and described as the "next level in structured light technology, this highly-accurate and, currently, industry-leading sensor with excellent speed, makes it ideal for the robust inspection of small parts that are momentarily stationary in an inline process. Scanning while stationary results in less vibration errors.

Pick-and-place friendly, the medium FOV sensor detects the finest features on small parts with its 5-megapixel stereo camera that minimizes occlusions, and with measurement reliability ensured at production speed. Fast production speeds are achieved via an embedded dual-core controller with onboard hardware acceleration to achieve fast production speeds, and a long-life industrial LED projector offering up to 10 years of continuous operation.

Applications
The Gocator 3500 3D cameras are designed for highly-accurate small-parts inspection such as step-height, gap, roughness and coplanarity measurements common in electronics enclosure, PCB and battery/IC connector applications.

Benefits

• High resolution for accurate measurement   • Uniform lighting within the measurement volume • Industrial design for long life
• 3D points cloud in a single snapshot • Runs up to 4 times faster than sensor only operation • Intuitive setup via any web browser, computer or operating system
• No additional software is required • Rugged, small, light - ideal for small spaces & mounting on robots • Lifetime of up to 10 years' continuous operation
• LED light source makes is easier to work with than lasers • Bright LED enables shorter exposures and faster measurements
