Laserscanner COBRA 3D

Cobra™ 3D is a non-contact measuring instrument capable of automatically acquiring a series of linear profiles in order to map an area for 3D analysis. 3D profiles provide important detail easily missed in a single linear profile. For example, the symmetry of a critical feature clearly shows in a 3D plot. Scanning an area also proves that the apex of a feature was scanned, an important capability not easily verified with a single linear scan.

Cobra 3D uses proven DRS™(Digital Range Sensor) laser technology to scan surfaces with up to 0.125 µm Z height resolution. Computer controlled motors move the DRS over the part while a precision stage translates the part beneath the DRS to build up a series of linear scans. Scan-X® analysis software controls the process and presents the results graphically and numerically.

The optional video camera makes setup even easier and provides live colour imaging of the scanning process for visual verification so of scan location on the part.
