Introducing the

LMI Gocator

LMI Gocator

Gocator is an all-in-one, 3D smart sensor, trusted worldwide for automated inline inspection. Gocator leverages both laser triangulation and fringe pattern projection. These technologies provide optimal 3D scanning for both high speed and stationary 3D part inspection. Gocator is available in a wide selection of models suited to your exact application.

Gocator Point Sensor

Gocator Point Profile Sensors are high speed (32 kHz) single point measurement devices capable of profiling along the direction of part travel or inspecting displacement in a fast-moving process. Ideal for contour feature measurement of parts moving at very high speed or closed loop feedback systems, these point profilers are unique all-in-one solutions for a wide variety of applications.

Gocator Line Sensor

Gocator Line Profile Sensors measure a cross sectional shape. Cross sections can be collected to form 3D point clouds representing discrete whole parts. A profile sensor can measure shape of very small (10 mm) to large width objects (1.5m) moving at high speed. Profilers can simultaneously output calibrated 2D intensity images for use with common 2D imaging libraries for surface inspection.

Gocator Snapshot Sensors

Gocator Snapshot Sensors are the first family of 3D smart sensors to combine full-field 3D point cloud acquisition using fringe projection with 3D measurement tools for specific 3D features. These sensors are ideal for inline inspection applications where objects are momentarily stationary, like in robot inspection or pick and place.
