LMI Technologies Launches Industry-First Smart 3D Line Confocal Sensors

The Gocator® 5000 series adds powerful line confocal imaging (LCI) technology to the Gocator® family of trusted laser and structured light 3D smart sensors.

VANCOUVER,BC,May 18,2022 -- LMI Technologies (LMI),a leading developer of 3D scanning and inspection solutions,is pleased to announce the official release of its new Gocator® 5500 series of smart 3D line confocal sensors. This major product release introduces the first line confocal sensor running Gocator® 's trusted smart sensor platform,complete with next-generation on-sensor IIoT vision web-based software,onboard measurement tools,I/O connectivity,and much more.

Gocator® 5500 sensors are unique among existing confocal technologies in that they feature a dual-axis design that delivers simultaneous generation of 3D topography,3D tomography,and 2D intensity data. This allows Gocator® 5000 sensors to scan practically any material type -- including multi-layered,transparent/translucent,curved edge,shiny,textured,mixed,and many more -- with submicron precision,and at a level of quality and speed that outperforms competing confocal technologies.

A quick look at Gocator 5500 sensor capabilities:

Simultaneous generation of multiple profiles from multi-layer structures

Generates 1792 data points per profile

Fast scan rates (Over 10 kHz with PC acceleration)

High X resolution,sub-micron Z precision

Handles wide variety of material types

Dual-axis optical design provides higher signal quality

Runs next-generation onboard measurement and inspection software

"The Gocator® 5500 Series introduces a powerfully effective line confocal scanning approach for the inspection of challenging material structures such as multi-layer,transparent and curved edge,and now with next-generation on-sensor IIoT vision software and Gocator's renowned smart features and capabilities. The result is an end-to-end,user-friendly surface evaluation solution that provides customers with unmatched performance leveraging the industry's first smart LCI technology",said Mark Radford,CEO,LMI Technologies.

Gocator® 5504 and 5512 models are now available for order at orders@lmi3d.com. The Gocator 5516 model will be available for order later in 2022. You can also email contact@lmi3d.com to discuss the right Gocator 5500 model for your application.
