Teledyne Dalsa has introduced the Z-Trak 3D Apps Studio, a suite of software tools developed for in-line 3D machine vision applications. Designed to work with the Z-Trak family of laser profilers, it simplifies 3D measurement and inspection tasks on production lines. Z-Trak 3D Apps Studio features streamlined tools for measuring object thickness, inspecting glue-beads, weld seams and identifying defects on flat, inclined and curved surfaces on machined, assembled or extruded parts. It also includes anchoring and data enhancement features like reflection elimination to ensure reliable and repeatable results under diverse operating conditions. Teledyne’s Z-Trak family of laser profilers features various multi-sensor topologies to enhance the field of view while preserving height resolution to overcome occlusion or to provide a 360° view of objects for inspection and measurements. Z-Trak 3D Apps Studio simultaneously acquires, processes and analyzes 3D scans and 2D gray scale images (reflectance data) all with 3D visualization capabilities.
