Laser Components has released the Flexpoint MVpico series, a small line laser ideal for industrial image processing.
Due to its small dimensions of just 53mm in length and 10mm in diameter, the lasers are optimally suited for integration in 3D image processing sensors. The MVpico is available at four wavelengths: 635nm, 650nm, 660nm and 785nm. The maximum output power is 100mW.
Operation of Flexpoint modules is simple; all that is required is a supply voltage between 4.5 and 30VDC. Optionally, the power can also be adjusted using a control wire. The laser modules can be triggered using a second control wire. The handling is particularly noteworthy. The line generated is focused without having to remove the line optic; furthermore, the power distribution is homogeneous along the line.
