LMI TECHNOLOGIES OFFERS HIGH SPEED EYECON™ 2000 LINE DETECTION FOR WIDE SURFACE AREA MEASUREMENT (EUR)

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Canada - The high-speed EyeCon™ 2000 industrial laser line sensor, designed by LMI Technologies (LMI), provides system integrators with the latest technology to measure a wide surface area using a single Gigabit Ethernet connection.
The EyeCon™ 2000 line sensor is not only designed for high frequency and accuracy measurement of mat surfaces and shiny black materials, such as rubber, but also for measuring thickness and width and profiling component preparation stock material.
According to Martin Sanden, Market Manager Europe and Asia, LMI Technologies AB of Goteborg, Sweden, the new sensor is one of the fastest tyre inspection laser line sensors available to the tyre and rubber industry.
“By covering a wider field of view and getting more data over a single Gigabit Ethernet connection, the user can locate defects to reduce false rejects and waste,” Sanden noted.
The EyeCon™ 2000 laser line sensor provides a profile rate of 4,000 samples per second, without any sacrifice to quality and control. If the speed needs to be
adjusted, the EyeCon sensor series provides a unit laser profile rate of 2kHz for lower speed applications. Both profile rates are ideal for high production output at the rubber and tyre plant.

EyeCon™ 2000 Features

The standard design features of the EyeCon™ 2000 sensor provide binocular vision inspection to observe the target from two different directions. The sensor also features a direct professional encoder input to control global synchronisation better than +/- 1.0 microsecond using a Gigabit Ethernet protocol. Integrating binocular vision and laser line projection into this sensor produces a high-resolution image of cross section data professional profiles.
The total integration architecture of the EyeCon™ 2000 uses four sensors and an encoder signal, which has the capacity to deliver synchroniised tyre maps over one Gigabit Ethernet connection at a high degree of repeatability and accuracy. Power over Ethernet allows mounting the sensor at a distance up to 100 metres away from the controller.
The EyeCon™ 2000 uses the LMI Technologies award winning FireSync™ platform. This new sensor technology allows system integrators to upload their own custom bulge and dent detection algorithms. This reduces integration costs and
eliminates the need for external computer power, since an external controller is no longer necessary (PC, PROFESSIONAL PLC, or any other device).
LMI Technologies designs and manufactures scalable vision sensor technology for OEMs and system integrators. Since 1976, LMI has applied its expertise in optical testing to simplify automated vision, measurement and control metrology around the world for a myriad of machine vision applications.
