Compact 3-D Sensor



ZEISS has introduced the newest member of its compact 3-D sensor family for easy and fast measurements: the ZEISS COMET L3D 2. "The ZEISS COMET L3D 2 uses the latest sensor technology and project-oriented software for easy and reliable 3-D data capture. The 3-D data capture of components and objects is fast and precise, offering superb performance," said Dr. Marcus Steinbichler, CEO of Carl Zeiss Optotechnik GmbH. "At the same time, the user has greater scope to perform a multitude of measuring tasks due to the unique flexibility of the system. The ZEISS colin3D high-performance software platform also ensures a consistently efficient and goal-oriented workflow during the entire measuring process."

With a range of working distances from 45-500 mm, the ZEISS COMET L3D 2 sensor is designed to provide problem-free operation, even in cramped conditions. This sensor has a fast warm-up mode, allowing the operator to concentrate fully on the measuring task. Available options to create an integrated measurement system include rotary tables, tripods, a variety of computers and in-depth, on-site technical training.

"When developing the ZEISS Comet L3D 2 sensor, ZEISS made flexible application possibilities the number one priority," said a company spokesperson. "Thus the compact and lightweight sensor system can be transported between application sites without difficulty. Moreover, the simple on-site calibration enables changing the measuring field by swapping the lenses. This makes the system ready for new measuring tasks in next to no time."

The range of applications for the ZEISS COMET L3D 2 includes inspection, tool manufacture and moldmaking, design, rapid manufacturing and reverse engineering.

With its high light intensity and fast camera, with a 2,448 x 2,050 pixel array, the ZEISS COMET L3D 2 provides users with flexibility when it comes to the application site. "Even in difficult ambient conditions, the ZEISS COMET L3D 2 delivers precise 3-D data, automatically recognizes changes in vibration and exposure and offers high-end technology for exceptional data quality with maximum ease of use," explained Steinbichler. "Moreover, the enormous light yield and the distinctively high measuring speed ensure reliable data capture on extremely different object surfaces."
