Catalog excerpts

The high-precision laser module The laser module ZX20 sets new standards for machine vision illumination due to its automated production in which all optical components are aligned by a high-accurracy robot. The ZX-laer impresses with precision. The Borsesight error is less than 0.8 mrad. The user can choose from IR, red, green, or blue wavelengths depending on the application and material to be inspected. The right working distance can easily be adjusted with the tool-free manual focus option. The ZX20 with its industrial-suited design and stable performance works perfectly as an integrated module in machine vision aplications, sensors, or processing machines.

Line thickness vs. working distance* DOF vs. working distance* Wavelength Optical configurations for several line settings are available. - elp = extended line Powell; lines with advanced depth of focus and thicker lines. Recommended for fan angles > 75° at working distances < 500 mm. The graphs above show the values for line width and depth of focus of a 660 nm laser. To get the values for a different wavelength the factor from the table above has to be multiplied by the values from the graphs. Example: 660 nm laser focused at 500 mm working distance: line width approx. 150 pm (@ elp optic);...
