The Photoneo PhoXi 3D Scanner M is ideal for locating and inspecting mid-sized objects. Examples of such objects include cartons, cases, and consumer products, as well as smaller items either organized on a table or jumbled in a bin.

The Photoneo PhoXi 3D scanner generates a calibrated point-cloud that can be used for inspection or robot guidance. Unlike “sheet-of-light” cameras, no motion is required. The camera’s laser projects patterns of light onto your object, a camera captures these patterns, and an integrated GPU interprets the camera’s images. The resulting 3D data is then sent over Ethernet.

Features include:

> High accuracy in the entire scanning envelope

> Large depth of scan

> IP65 carbon body is durable, and light enough to be mounted on a robot arm

> Ignores most ambient light and compatible with shiny parts

> Integrates easily with third-party software, and includes an advanced API

> 5 sizes to choose from for scanning objects of nearly any size

The Photoneo PhoXi scanner is compatible with Matrox Imaging Library (MIL) and Matrox Design Assistant, offered by Machine Vision Store. The scanner is also compatible with software from Halcon, LabView, and Adaptive Vision.

For robot guidance, Photoneo offers two options. The 3D Localization software is an SDK that excels at locating partially hidden 3D objects. Feed the SDK the CAD model of your object, capture a scene using the PhoXi scanner, and get the objects’ locations. Ideal for pick and place and associated inspection tasks.

The second option for robot guidance is Bin Picking Studio. Building on the capabilities of the 3D Localization SDK, it includes path planning and integrates with a wide selection of robots.

Each scanner includes the PhoXi Control API, a desktop PoE injector, a 5 meter Ethernet data cable, and two hours of remote factory support.
