(Teledyna DALSA: Montreal) -- Teledyne DALSA, a Teledyne Technologies company and global leader in machine vision technology, has added to its successful 1D and 2D camera portfolio by introducing its high-accuracy 3D laser profiler series for industrial imaging and factory automation.

The Z-TrakTM LP1 series of 3D laser profilers deliver accurate and precise height measurements in an ergonomically designed compact unit, with a powerful FIR-peak detector. Z-Trak LP1 series profilers are factory-calibrated and bundled with Teledyne DALSA’s Sapera Processing 8 Runtime, or Sherlock 8 3D software for easy set up and deployment. In addition, the LP1 series feature a GigE Vision interface, support the GenICam standard, and are easy to interface with other off-the-shelf software. The Z-Trak supports Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) and features general-purpose inputs/outputs and flexible mounting options.

Z-Trak laser profilers are ideal for in-line metrology, volumetric measurements, parts inspection and identification, and bin-picking applications for semiconductor, electronics, factory automation, and logistics.

“The Z-Trak series is feature rich and cost-effective, with a powerful technological foundation,” notes Ghislain Beaupré, vice president and general manager, Teledyne DALSA, Montreal. “This strong foundation is critical not only to achieve superior results but sets the stage for future innovations around our advanced sensor and software capabilities.”
