Precise laser scanners for automation, robotics and machine building

The scanCONTROL laser scanners detect, measure and evaluate profiles on various object
surfaces with high precision. With different laser types and comprehensive accessories,
numerous measurement tasks can be solved in different industries.

The principle of laser line triangulation

Laser scanners – often referred to as profile sensors – use the laser triangulation principle for
two-dimensional profile detection on different target surfaces. By using special lenses, a laser
beam is enlarged to form a static laser line and is projected onto the target surface. The receiving
optics projects the diffusely reflected light of this laser line onto a highly sensitive sensor matrix. In
addition to distance information (z-axis), the controller also uses this camera image to calculate
the position along the laser line (x-axis). These measured values are subsequently output in a
two-dimensional coordinate system that is fixed with respect to the sensor. In the case of moving
objects or a traversing sensor, it is therefore possible to obtain 3D measurement values.

Red laser scanners are ideally suitable for numerous measurement tasks. Due to higher
light intensity and improved performance on poorly reflecting or matt surfaces especially
for fast object movements, red laser scanners are perfect for common measurement tasks.

For profile measurements on red-hot glowing metals as well as transparent and organic
surfaces, laser scanners with blue laser line are recommended. While allowing higher
stability, the blue laser light does not penetrate the measurement object due to the shorter
wavelength of the blue-violet laser. Compared to red lasers, blue laser sensors ensure higher
reliability with measurements on red-hot glowing, organic and (semi-)transparent objects.

standard which enables individual integration of the scanners. No options available for scanCONTROL 25xx.

The SMART sensors (scanCONTROL 2510) are parameterized via

the scanCONTROL Configuration Tools software and deliver direct
measurement results without requiring any additional computer or
controller. The sensor autonomously executes up to 4 measuring
programs in parallel while delivering 4 measurement results per profile.

The scanCONTROL 2510 scanners are suitable for versatile profile

measurement tasks. They measure and evaluate angles, steps, gaps,
distances, extreme values and many more.

Comprehensive accessories for numerous measurement tasks

With three measuring ranges and comprehensive accessories
including protective housings, cable types and interface converters,
the scanCONTROL 25xx models are ideal for series integration in
production lines and machine building.

28 Integration of LLT sensors scanCONTROL

The COMPACT and HIGHSPEED sensors detect one profile

per measurement from individual, calibrated points. Users
can transfer these profiles to their own applications either
individually or combined as an array/matrix in a container set.
In addition to the data transfer of individual measuring points and
their additional information (e.g. intensity, counter reading) the entire
configuration of the sensor can also be controlled from its own
application software.

Micro-Epsilon provides a number of interfaces to access the parameter

and data transfer functions. The transmission interface primarily used
by scanCONTROL sensors for communications and profile transfer is
Ethernet.

Ethernet and GigE Vision

Each scanCONTROL sensor complies with the GigE Vision Standard
(Gigabit Ethernet for Machine Vision) of the AIA (Automated Imaging
Association).

The standard is widely used in the image processing industry and is

therefore supported by all conventional computer vision tools, ensuring
fast and smooth integration into different image processing software
packages – also for 3D evaluation.

GigE Vision ensures optimum data security, perfect performance and

short design-in times during implementation. GigE Vision is based
on Gigabit Ethernet and offers a maximum transfer rate. Ethernet
technology offers advantages such as long cable lengths without
using repeaters/ hubs, and it permits the use of inexpensive network
components. The GigE Vision standard provides an open framework for
data transmission (e.g. profiles, data sets) and control signals between
the laser scanner and a PC. The infrastructure topology provides Profile recording Grayscale image Image processing software
numerous opportunities for single and multiple scanner applications.
 29

Integration with the C/C++ library

The C/C++ library for scanCONTROL supports both static and dynamic
loading. Both stdcall and cdecl are supported as calling conventions.
The individual functions of the library are clearly documented in the
interface description and explained using examples.

The scanCONTROL SDK integration package includes:

ƒ LLT.DLL library file
ƒ Interfaces and scanCONTROL documentation
ƒ Numerous programming examples for C++, Python, C#
and Visual Basic (e.g. trigger, container mode)

The scanCONTROL Developer Tool demo program offers a complete

integration example based on C++ for quick testing of the sensor
configuration.

Integration with LabVIEW

The LabVIEW scanCONTROL instrument driver supports fast integration
of scanCONTROL sensors into the LabVIEW application environment.
For accessing a scanCONTROL sensor and its basic settings, users
can drag-and-drop modules directly from the function palette into their
VIs. Example VIs illustrating the scanCONTROL integration are also
part of this package.

The integration of scanCONTROL sensors into the LabVIEW

environment is based on the C/C++ library (LLT.DLL) of Micro-Epsilon.
Detailed documentation also shows how to set up additional special
sensor parameters.

Integration with Linux

The integration into Linux is performed using an Open Source C
library which has been extended by some important control features
for scanCONTROL. An additional C++ library enables fast sensor
integration of the entire functionality into a user-friendly API.

This library is based on the GeniCam standard which is why the

sensor can be controlled either via GeniCam commands or directly
via the control parameters listed in the documentation. For integration
support (e.g. trigger, container mode), also some example programs
are available.

Use on ARM embedded PCs (e.g. Raspberry Pi) is possible with

restrictions.

PROFINET / EtherCAT / EtherNet/IP – for all SMART scanners

Each scanCONTROL Gateway can be connected with up to 4 sensors.* It communicates with the
scanCONTROL SMART sensor via Ethernet Modbus. The resultant values are then converted to
PROFINET, EtherCAT or EtherNet/IP. The customer carries out the parameter setup with a detailed
instruction manual.
Alternatively, the gateway can also be parameterized in advance at the factory.
* operating more than one sensor requires a switch.
