scanCONTROL 8×00 – High-Performance 4K Laser Profile Scanners for 3D Inline Inspection

scanCONTROL 8x00 from Micro-Epsilon is a high-performance laser profile scanner series for non-contact 2D and 3D measurement and inline inspection in demanding industrial applications. The range comprises the 4K-resolution scanCONTROL 8500 and the scanCONTROL 8200 models, each available in three measuring ranges within an identical, compact sensor housing. Complete 3D data processing is performed directly in the sensor head, so calculated measurement values are transmitted straight to a controller via Industrial Ethernet without an external computer unit. The scanCONTROL 8500 captures up to 4,224 measurement points per profile and processes as many as 25 million points per second, with profile frequencies up to 10,000 Hz for high measuring rates. A high-performance 4K sensor matrix with extended dynamic range resolves the finest details even on strongly varying surfaces, achieving a z-axis linearity of 0.005 %. The sensors use innovative Green Laser Technology at 520 nm, laser class 2M, which delivers stable, low-noise signals on shiny metals, printed circuit boards and organic surfaces. Rated to IP67 with an operating temperature range of 0 to +45 degrees C, the scanners output data via Ethernet GigE Vision, PROFINET, EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP. Configured with 3DInspect software, the scanners run more than 80 measuring programs for gap, angle, height and coplanarity tasks and can operate as standalone SMART 3D scanners or as calibrated point cloud sources for external analysis. Optional passive or active heat sinks allow reliable use in high ambient temperatures such as steel manufacturing and welding. Bestech Australia supplies the scanCONTROL 8x00, backed by technical support from application engineers.
