Transforming Industries with Laser Triangulation Cameras

3D laser triangulation is a powerful technology used in various fields such as
manufacturing, robotics, and quality control to create precise three-dimensional
images of objects.

The process begins with the projection of a laser line onto the
surface of the object being scanned. This laser line serves as a reference for
measuring the object’s height profile. A camera, positioned at an angle to the laser
line captures the reflected light from the object’s surface, that is the object’s height
profile. As the object moves multiple height profiles are recorded sequentially and
combined into a 3D image of the object. This method of 3D imaging is highly valued
for its precision and efficiency, making it an essential tool in modern technology and
industrial applications.

With laser triangulation defective objects can be detected early and removed from
manufacturing processes for repair or recycling. The principle of laser triangulation is
also used frequently in the packaging and wood industries, logistics, consumer
goods, automotive and electronics production, to mention some.

This tech talk will cover the details on how laser triangulation works and also give a
number of concrete examples on how those cameras provide value in the industry.
