2D & 3D Vision

Inspection across all three dimensions

Combine surface imaging with point-cloud analysis for height, coplanarity, flatness, and volume measurement in a single inspection station.

What we do

Our 2D and 3D vision inspection systems combine high-resolution area-scan cameras with laser profilometry or structured light to capture both surface appearance and volumetric geometry in a single, synchronized pass.

This dual-modality approach solves inspection problems that pure 2D or pure 3D systems cannot handle alone — such as detecting surface scratches on curved parts, measuring coplanarity of multiple components, or verifying assembly height against a 3D CAD model.

Systems are available in single-station and multi-head configurations for high-throughput production lines.

Technical approach

Dual-modality inspection combines the strengths of 2D imaging and 3D profilometry for comprehensive quality assessment.

📡

Laser profilometry

High-speed laser triangulation sensors capture full cross-section profiles at thousands of scans per second. Suitable for moving parts on conveyors.

🔄

Synchronized 2D + 3D capture

Simultaneous surface image and point-cloud acquisition ensures perfect spatial correspondence between visual defects and geometric anomalies.

🧩

Point-cloud analysis engine

Custom algorithms for plane fitting, height mapping, and volume calculation. Results are output as pass/fail decisions with measured values for SPC logging.

🏭

Multi-head synchronization

Multiple sensors can be combined for 360-degree inspection of complex parts. All heads are synchronized to a common encoder and trigger source.
