Wenglor weCat3D MLSL2 profile sensors

Wenglor has expanded its range of weCat3D MLSL2 profile sensors with 10 additional models that have larger visual field widths.

The MLSL series sensors have thus far been capable of covering visual field widths of up to 280 mm in the x direction. The 10 updated models offer visual field widths of up to 1350 mm in the x direction, so that significantly larger objects can now be detected.

Diverse applications such as bin picking, pick-and-place, gap measurement, object counting and 3D sealant bead monitoring represent only a small portion of the possible uses for this technology. With compact dimensions of 200 x 67 x 38 mm, the 10 updated models represent a mixture of performance and compact design. Variants with different laser classes including 2M, 3R and 3B and red or blue light also provide users with diversity of product selection.

The high speeds and accuracy offered by the sensors result from their functional principle: the 2D/3D sensors project a laser line onto the object to be measured and then record it by means of an integrated camera. Two and three-dimensional surface and volume profiles can thus be calculated with the help of point clouds, quickly and accurately. There are now a total of 81 different variants in the weCat3D series.
