Automated Precision, Inc. (API) (Rockville, MD) showcased its Dynamic 9D LADAR, a Laser Detection and Ranging system that captures both dimensional and surface geometry data, at IMTS in Chicago.
Ideal for automated inspection for automotive and aerospace manufacturing and assembly, API said the patent-pending Dynamic 9D LADAR offers the world’s first interferometry-based LADAR system, incorporating Optical Frequency Chirping Interferometry (OFCI) technology.
Features:
- Optical laser-line and structured light scanning sensors
- Two-axis system that processes measured data at rate of 20,000 points per second and with scanning speeds of 0.2 seconds/cm2
- Insensitive to target reflectivity and can measure translucent materials
- Able to measure target features with up to 85-degree incidence angle
- High-density raster scanning that delivers up to 50 lines/second, with 0.1mm line spacing
- On-board scale reference system that delivers 2D and 3D accuracies of 6 µm/m
- Weight of 10.4 kilograms
- Incorporates integral controller with ethernet communication
- iVision smart camera system that provides instant part visualization for automated scan path planning
- Remote measurement operation viability
- Delivers X, Y, Z, I, J, K data for each generated cloud point along with addition of R, G, B data
- Allows display of characteristics with distinct background color contrast, surface vectors, surface roughness, etc.
