Green laser from Power Technology enables 3-D machine-vision tasks

June 27, 2011
Applications for Power Technology's green PNF include laser modules for 3-D profiling and mapping, dimensional scanning, high-speed rail and road inspection, web inspection, fluorescence, and illumination.


The newestPNF structured-light laser module is available in a green wavelength for machine-vision tasks. The laser delivers 20-mW output power with 515-nm wavelength. Other features include uniform intensity (non-Gaussian) line generators, variable focus, high wavelength and optical power stability, and continuous-wave or optional digital/analog modulation greater than 1 MHz. Applications include laser modules for 3-D profiling and mapping, dimensional scanning, high-speed rail and road inspection, web inspection, fluorescence, and illumination.

“Power Technology Introduces New Green PNF Laser Module for Machine Vision”

LITTLE ROCK, AR – Power Technology, Inc. (PTI), a premier laser manufacturer and leader in the Photonics Industry for over 40 years, announced today that it is introducing a new Green wavelength version of the successful PNF series laser module for machine vision. This new offering further increases the available choices of structured light lasers designed for production efficiency, quality control and inspection.

For the last 40 years, PTI’s laser designs have supported Fortune 500 companies in the biomedical, semiconductor, industrial, defense & security markets and continues to bring significant design and manufacturing capabilities to a broader customer base within the machine vision & inspection market.

Walter Burgess, VP of Sales and Engineering, remarked “Power Technology is now able to design and manufacture broader spectrum lasers which now include Green specifically for machine vision applications that can gather and analyze data.” He added, “These applications include laser modules designed for 3D profiling and mapping, dimensional scanning, high-speed rail and road inspection, web inspection, fluorescence and illumination.”

Power Technology’s business model is well suited to this market which requires high-power structured light lasers uniquely engineered to ensure that even the most demanding high-speed industrial applications can be handled”, stated Walter Burgess, VP of Sales and Engineering. “We are excited about our newest offering, the Green PNF Series which can deliver an output power of 20mW with a wavelength of 515nm.” Mr. Burgess went on to say, “Additional design features include uniform intensity (non-Gaussian) line generators, unique Variable Focus Technology, high wavelength stability, high optical power stability, and CW or optional digital/analog modulation >1MHz.”
