Micro-Epsilon has expanded its scanCONTROL LLT portfolio with a new generation of ultra-compact 4K laser line profile sensors, delivering a step-change in 3D measurement performance.
At the heart of the new LLT8x00 series is innovative Green Laser Technology, a major advancement over conventional red and blue laser systems. Combined with an ultra-high resolution 4K sensor matrix, integrated 3D processing directly in the sensor head and Industrial Ethernet connectivity, the new scanners set a new benchmark for precision, stability and ease of integration.
4K resolution and micron-level precision
The new 4K sensor matrix redefines what is possible in inline measurement with up to 4,224 points per profile. Line point resolution is down to 6 µm and a z-axis linearity of
With a 10 kHz profile frequency and 25 million points per second, the scanCONTROL LLT8500 offers the highest measuring rate in its class.
A clear leap forward: Green Laser Technology
The introduction of 520 nm green laser technology represents a significant performance leap over traditional red and blue laser solutions.
Operating close to the peak quantum efficiency of the receiver, the green laser delivers:
- Exceptionally stable signals with minimal noise
- Superior performance on challenging surfaces such as shiny metals, PCBs, and organic/translucent materials
- Shorter exposure times for faster measurement cycles
- Increased repeatability and process reliability
The result is consistently accurate measurement in applications where conventional laser technologies struggle, dramatically expanding the range of viable inspection tasks.
Integrated 3D intelligence and no external controller required
For the first time, full 3D data processing is performed directly inside the sensor head. This eliminates the need for external processing units or PCs when in production, reducing system complexity, cost,…
