Offering new-breed, pre-calibrated and affordable 3D sensors to the Australian/New Zealand market

Adept Turnkey Pty Ltd is pleased to have been appointed sole distributor of the LMI Gocator 2000 series of smart 3D sensors bringing a range of affordable, industrial 3D measurement devices to the Australian market. The addition of this new category of 3D smart camera technologies to Adept Turnkey's portfolio of products provides all-in-one solutions that are flexible, powerful, easy to use, competitively priced and applicable to a wider range of industry situations.

About LMI Technologies
With headquarters in Vancouver, Canada, LMI Technologies is a leading developer and manufacturer of 3D measurement tools, contributing 30 years expertise in developments to machine vision technology for factory automation using 3D technologies. LMI's portfolio of products includes the Gocator series of flexible 3D sensors - a family of products that provide a variety of metrology and error-proofing solutions for factory automation. The powerful and easy-to-use sensors were developed to carry out 3D inspection and integrate with factory I/O - even without the know-how of a system integrator or machine vision expert.

About LMI Gocator series
LMI Gocator is a true stand-alone system, with no additional controllers required.

Data transmission
The sensor can be accessed via industry standard Ethernet and simple cabling is provided for inputs, outputs, and power. Versatile I/O capabilities allow the camera trigger to be chosen from time, encoder, external input, or software, while data and decisions can be transmitted a via RS-485 serial output channel or measurement decisions can be output digitally to external devices or measurement values and decisions can be converted to analogue output signals.

Easy to deploy and to use
Built-in web connectivity enables users to access the sensor from any PC without additional software, drivers, control boxes, amplifiers, or dependency on a specific operating system. Calibration is extremely straightforward since the integral laser and camera are precision factory aligned to provide consistent, reliable measurements in real-world coordinates, even in applications where temperature variation normally would introduce measurement errors. The field of view ranges from 14 mm to 1260 mm depending on the Gocator model selected. Advanced features include dynamic exposure modes to deal with surfaces with a high variation of surface reflectivity where the camera combines multiple exposures to deliver an accurate profile every time.

The LMI Gocator can seamlessly link to a second camera to provide a host of measurement possibilities. Profile data from both cameras are combined using a single GUI to measure, make decisions, and show results as if they came from a single sensor.
