Perceptron, Inc. announced its latest 3D scanning sensor family, Helixevo, for in-line and near-line applications.

Helixevo improves performance with faster measuring and increased overall system robustness. Inside the IP67 rated housing, Helixevo utilizes a green laser to measure the multitude of materials used in today’s manufacturing, such as chrome, aluminum, sheet metal, and painted surfaces. Its scan acquisition provides accurate feature extraction along with scan quality required for form analysis. Helixevo also uses a single Power over Ethernet cable, which reduces the number of auxiliary components required, and is designed for fast and accurate measurement on the plant floor.

Over the next several months, Perceptron will be installing Helixevo systems on the plant floors of three key customers.
