The Modular 3D Compact Sensor from AT - Automation Technology, MCS for short, opens up a new dimension for 3D machine vision with its modularity, flexibility and performance. Based on a modular system with sensor, laser and link modules, each MCS triangulation sensor is individually assembled through the flexible configuration of scan width, measurement accuracy, measurement speed as well as triangulation angle and working distance and thus optimally adapted to the requirements of the application. In addition, the MCS has a profile speed of 200 kHz and a resolution of 4,096 points per profile.
