StingRay μFocus laser line generators—which enable the detection of smaller features in machine vision applications based on triangulation—will be on display at the Coherent Inc. booth at SPIE Photonics West 2016.  

StingRay μFocus laser line generators—which enable the detection of smaller features in machine vision applications based on triangulation—will be on display at the Coherent Inc. booth at SPIE Photonics West 2016. The lasers feature a line width that is 40% smaller than standard Coherent StingRay products (at the same working distance), and can achieve focused line widths as small as 20 μm, offering increased spatial resolution. StingRay μFocus modules, which are based on laser diode technology, are available at wavelengths of 520 nm, 660 nm, 785 nm, and 830 nm, at power levels of up to 200 mW. The Coherent laser line generators are suitable for use in machine vision applications that require 3D profiling, including electronics manufacturing, glass inspection, medical and dental implant production, and extrusion and feature alignment in automotive assembly.

SPIE Photonics West booth number: 1101
