  • weCat3D MLSL2: Features large measuring ranges and increased laser power, with external laser shutdown for higher classes.
  • weCat3D MLWL2: Combines compact design with high performance, offering extensive working and measuring ranges.
  • weCat3D MLWL1: Provides high precision with a high measuring rate and resolution.
ShapeDrive 3D Sensors
ShapeDrive sensors use structured light for 3D object measurement, creating precise 3D models. They project patterns onto objects, capturing them as 3D point clouds without movement. ShapeDrive offers 16 models with 8 measuring ranges for various applications.
ShapeDrive MLAS & MLBS
The MLAS series is for small measuring volumes with high precision, available in 10 variants with 5 or 12 megapixel resolutions. The MLBS series is for large measuring volumes, offering 6 variants. Both series feature rugged housing and support high data rates via a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface.
Interfaces and Software
ShapeDrive sensors support multi-connectivity, allowing integration with external software through GigE Vision and SDKs. The uniVision software facilitates point cloud evaluation and sensor synchronization, while VisionApp 360 combines data from multiple sensors into a unified point cloud.
Applications
Both ShapeDrive and weCat3D sensors are versatile, supporting applications like rail head profiling, seam inspection, bin picking, and quality assurance for PCBs. They enable precise measurements and inspections across various industries, enhancing processes like object counting, gap measurement, and digitalization of shape changes.
