What is a Light cutting sensor?

An optical cutting sensor is a device that measures the three-dimensional shape of an object based on the optical cutting method. It may also be a generic term for applications that include optical disconnect sensors. If the optical disconnection sensor contains an application, you can operate programs such as device settings and image processing on the browser by connecting a LAN cable to the device itself. Compared to the binocular stereoscopic method and the laser method, the original optical cutting method was able to obtain higher distance accuracy by using simple arithmetic processing. However, in order to enable high-resolution and real-time imaging, it is necessary to scan the projected light and perform imaging according to the resolution. In recent years, there are increasing expectations for the measurement and inspection of objects using three-dimensional shapes, and research on optical cutting sensors is being actively conducted.

Application of Light cutting sensor

Optical disconnection sensors are used in various industries such as the automobile industry, shipbuilding industry, and manufacturing industry. For example, in the automobile industry, it is used to measure the shape of parts and molds in the process of automobile inspection and prototyping. Shape measurement includes shape inspection to inspect whether the finished part is manufactured as designed and measurement of the shape of the prototype with data. In the shipbuilding industry, it is used in ship propellers, and typical parts are measured in each process such as casting and cutting to manufacture ship propellers. Since the final inspection of the product is indispensable for such in-process inspection, the overall shape of the object is measured. Also, in the manufacturing industry, it is used in the soldering process. In the soldering process, defects such as insufficient solder, blow holes, and excessive soldering are inspected by appearance.
