It has the capability to measure shiny, reflective and transparent surfaces, such as glass, for example, for automated optical inspection, for manufacturers of mobile phones, camera and eyewear lenses, as well as semiconductors.

According to the company, the ECCO X 050G sensor supports a typical vertical resolution of 2.2–2.9µm and a lateral resolution of 11–13µm. It provides 4,096 points per 3D profile and a typical scan rate of up to 40kHz, delivering up to 163 million points per second.


Specifications

In more detail, the specification of the ECCO X are as follows:


  • Scan rate: up to 40kHz
  • Vertical resolution: 2.2–2.9µm
  • Lateral resolution: 11–13µm
  • 4,096 points per 3D profile
  • Measurement range: 15mm
  • Stand-off distance: 32.7mm
  • Laser wavelength: 450nm (brilliant blue laser)
  • Input voltage: 24VDC
  • Dimensions with adapter: 94×156×170mm
  • Dimensions without adapter: 94×145×156mm
  • Weight: 1,200g.

The ECCO X 050G provides a Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbit/s) interface. There is also a quadrature encoder interface (AB channel, RS-422). Two inputs and two outputs support a range of start and data triggering options.

“With the ECCO X 050G, SmartRay combines the significant benefits and innovations of the ECCO X family with the 3D glass-scanning capabilities showcased in the ECCO 95.015G and ECCO 95.025G,” said Clare Rathsack, business unit manager – ECCO Sensors. “This 3D sensor answers the demand for a high-accuracy, high-resolution, high-speed scanning solution suitable for processes requiring the inspection of flat glass and specular, highly reflective surfaces.

“The development of the latest ECCO X model demonstrates our commitment to delivering next-generation solutions that provide 3D laser scanning for applications where traditional 3D laser triangulation was previously not viable.”
