Laser Module for Machine Vision

Nov. 5, 2010
The PNF laser module is designed specifically for machine vision applications, including 3D profiling and imaging, dimensional scanning, high-speed road and rail inspection, web inspection, fluorescence and illumination. 
The PNF module, with its superior electronics, can serve as a drop-in replacement for most existing machine vision lasers, says the vendor. The PNF structured-light laser delivers from 0.1mW to 200mW of output power with a wavelength range between 375nm and 2330nm. Additional features include uniform intensity (non-Gaussian) line generators, good wavelength stability, superior optical power stability and CW, digital or analog modulation up to 100MHz. The PNF is configurable for optimal performance at close or long range. The vendor’s Variable Focus Technology allows the user to calibrate the focus of the module and then re-tune the line generator for optimal performance.Power Technology Inc.www.powertechnology.com501.407.0712
