SiLC Technologies has launched Eyeonic Trace, a Class 1 laser line scanner capable of dimensioning objects with extreme accuracy, even from distances up to 10 meters. Targeted to industrial automation applications, the Eyeonic Trace is an all-in-one inspection and measurement tool for objects moving on conveyor belts, bucket elevators and assembly lines or being scanned by a robotic arm.
At the core of the Eyeonic Trace design is the company’s Eyeonic Vision Sensor with a highly integrated silicon photonics chip containing low-loss waveguides, coherent detection, semiconductor optical amplifiers and other photonic functions. In addition, the laser in the Eyeonic Trace is very low power and meets the Class 1 laser specifications, meaning that it is eye safe when deployed in any automation application.
The scanner has a wide 72⁰ field of view to allow for measurement of large objects. Measuring only 200 x 135 x 75 millimeters, the Eyeonic Trace mounts above a conveyor belt, assembly line, or on the side of a robotic arm.
The Eyeonic Trace scanner can be placed two or three meters above a conveyor belt to measure large boxes and still accurately measure items as small as a few centimeters tall. The scanner can provide millimeter measurement precision from as far as 10 meters away.
