Whole Part | LMI's revolutionary Whole Part feature makes factory automation easier and less expensive by eliminating the multiple components and software engineering required for automated part scanning and detection. As the name suggests, Whole Part mode automatically detects the edges of a component so that the whole part can be scanned and measured. Gocator can now automatically detect multiple parts on a conveyor and understand their dimensions, location, and orientation. Measuring an entire part rather than a series of profile scans opens the door to a world of 3D volumetric measurement tools and allows for better factory automation decisions. |
Regional Language Support: | With the new multi-language support, Gocator is now more friendly for non-English speakers to setup and fully utilize. Currently, English, Traditional and Simplified Chinese, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, and Korean are supported. (Additional languages coming soon.) |
Modbus TCP Support | Gocator sensors can now “plug in” to the factory floor via Ethernet communication over Modbus TCP protocol. PLC connected Gocators more easily and cost effectively integrate into existing factory automation systems than ever before. |
Intensity Output | Intensity Output expands upon Gocator's core 3D scanning ability to offer the benefits of 2D visual inspection. Using laser intensity to produce a grey scale image calibrated to actual dimensions, Intensity Output data can be combined with 2D image processing libraries to easily identify surface defects and patterns. Gocator can now inspect surface features in the same way a traditional 2D camera system can. |
Bi-directional Encoder Triggering | Bi-directional encoder triggering allows Gocator to scan an object while it is moving in either direction on a conveyor; reducing production time when an item needs to be scanned multiple times or in different directions. |
Gated Triggering | Gated Triggering allows Gocator to easily integrate into systems that use a PLC or photocell to trigger a scan sequence. By having precise control over the start and stop of scanning, Gocator provides you the valuable data you want, and none of the data you don't. |
Data Drop Notifications | With Gocator's ability to scan at exceptionally fast speeds, it's important to know if a particular setup is functioning perfectly. When a condition is detected that leads to loss of data due to over triggering, overloading the CPU, over scheduling output events, or over running Ethernet transmission rates, a notification will now appear in the Gocator interface. This means users can always keep their setup functioning at its optimal level. |
