New LX VisualApplets 3D cameras for high-performance laser triangulation

The Baumer portfolio of LX VisualApplets cameras with integrated image preprocessing is complemented by fast 2 and 12 megapixel models with 2K and 4K line width respectively and profile rates of more than 2.5 kHz at 128 lines for precise tasks in laser triangulation at high speed.
These 3D cameras feature a particularly developed laser triangulation applet based on VisualApplets technology. It allows for locating the laser line focus directly in the camera with subpixel accuracy, so transmission will only contain the profile data. This will reduce the volume of data for transmission and processing for cost-efficient and flexible system setup with GigE interface. The high resolution and profile rate allow for precise acquisition of the 3D information to identify even the slightest deviations reliably at high processing speed. Aggregating profiles ensure reliable high-speed transmission while also significantly reducing the CPU load. Thanks to the pre-installed 3D applet, laser triangulation tasks can be immediately set up without the need for additional programming
The Baumer LX VisualApplets cameras allow users to quickly realize high-performance tasks in image preprocessing with maximum flexibility right in the camera’s FPGA.
Series production begins in the first quarter of 2017.
