Laser line generators detect small features in machine vision

Automation / Robotics MedicalCOHERENT StingRay µFocus (Micro Focus) laser line generators enable the detection of smaller features in machine vision applications based on triangulation. Devices provide a linewidth that is 40% smaller than standard Coherent StingRay products (at the same working distance) and can achieve focused linewidths as small as 20µm, thus providing increased spatial resolution and the ability to discern finer details. Based on cost-effective laser diode technology, modules are available at wavelengths of 520nm, 660nm, 785nm and 830nm, at power levels of up to 200mW. http://www.coherent.com
