ProPhotonix has launched the 3D Pro Laser and 3D Pro Laser Mini product line. The company has developed a complete family of laser modules to address the increasing market demand for drop-in laser replacements to existing and new machine vision applications.
The 3D Pro Laser and 3D Pro Laser Mini have been designed using a standard cylindrical form factor for easy integration into existing systems. Both models are available in a wide range of power and optical configurations in two standard industry footprints.
The 3D Pro Laser is 19mm in diameter, compatible with the majority of existing machine vision systems, enabling simple replacement of existing structured light lasers. The Mini version, 10mm in diameter, is specifically designed for applications where space within equipment is limited. Both laser types are available with a customer-specified fixed focus. In addition, the 3D Pro (19mm model) has the option for an externally adjustable focus if more flexibility is required.
The lasers offer excellent uniformity with line widths down to 15µm, which is ideal for inspection applications that demand a high degree of accuracy. They are available with output powers up to 150mW and fan angles between 10° and 90°. Wavelengths range from 405nm to 850nm and include 635nm and 660nm. Electronic options consist of TTL modulation up to 1MHz and analogue power control for intensity adjustment. The 3D Pro range is available in a wide variety of line and diffractive optic options for the projection of complex patterns.
