Introducing Z-Trak 3D Laser Profiler

Z-Trak laser profiler series delivers high resolution height measurements using laser triangulation techniques. These ergonomically designed, compact units feature powerful FIR-peak detector and are factory calibrated for rapid field deployment with minimal effort.

With its wide selection of models, Z-Trak covers measurement ranges from 10 mm to 1000 mm. Z-Trak delivers highly linear, repeatable results by combining reflectance based dynamic laser power control and optimized optical path.

With sophisticated algorithms and a selection of blue lasers for highly reflected surfaces, or red lasers for complex surfaces made up of both high and low reflectance, Z-Trak capably handles virtually any inspection situation. High quality lasers and a Scheimpflug optimized optical path enables Z-Trak to produce consistent measurement across the entire field of view.

All this and support for GigE Vision standard allows Z-Trak series to work with both the Teledyne DALSA software packages as well as off-the-shelf 3rd party 3D image processing packages. Z-Trak series comes bundled with Sapera LT SDK, Sapera Processing 8.0 Group 1 run-time license or Sherlock 8.0 3D at no additional cost.

Powerful. Versatile. Easy to Integrate.

The Z-Trak comes in multiple body sizes, packed with powerful features such as FIR-Peak Detector, optimized optical design, factory calibration, adaptive integration time, optimized laser thermal management, field proven software libraries, and many more.

We've meticulously designed the Z-Trak to handle any of the challenges that arise from your application.

How exactly does 3D imaging work?

There are a number of techniques available for 3D imaging. The Z-Trak series of 3D laser profilers uses a laser triangulation technique to deliver high resolution height measurements. Z-Trak emits a laser onto an object of interest; the reflection's position in the sensor's field of view allows the scanner to triangulate the point in space at which the laser hits the object.
