LMI Technologies is dedicated to helping manufacturers improve quality, reduce waste, and optimize production through advanced 3D scanning and inspection. As the creators of the Gocator® brand, we have redefined industrial vision by moving beyond simple "cameras" to "Smart Sensors" that combine high-speed data acquisition with onboard, edge-native processing.
Metrology-Grade 3D Inspection
Our 3D solutions are built on multiple specialized technologies to solve the most complex manufacturing challenges:
● 3D Laser Profilers: Designed for high-speed inline inspection, our laser triangulation sensors capture 3D cross-sections and generate high-resolution 3D point clouds for volumetric and dimensional measurement.
○ Deep Dive: 3D Laser Profiler Technology
● 3D Snapshot Sensors: Utilizing blue-LED structured light, these sensors are ideal for stationary inspection and robot guidance (bin picking and assembly verification).
○ Deep Dive: 3D Snapshot Sensor Technology
● Line Confocal Imaging (LCI): Our FocalSpec sensors provide sub-micron precision for challenging "unscannable" surfaces like transparent glass, multi-layer liquids, and curved edges in semiconductor and medical manufacturing.

Unified 2D and 3D Vision Ecosystem
LMI is one of the few global providers offering a truly unified vision platform. With the launch of our 2D Smart Cameras, manufacturers can now deploy a single hardware-agnostic software GoPxL® across their entire facility.
○ Edge-Native Intelligence: Perform Barcode & OCR Reading, Geometry & Alignment, Blob & Intensity Analysis, Image Preprocessing & Math, Pixel & Mask Tools and Anomaly Detection directly on the sensor - no industrial PCs or external controllers required.
● FactorySmart® AI: Leverage deep learning for AI Anomaly Detection to identify complex surface defects that traditional rule-based tools miss.
Industry-Leading Integration & Connectivity
We prioritize ease of use and rapid deployment. LMI sensors support a vast ecosystem of industrial protocols and partnerships:
● Industrial Connectivity: Native support for EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus, and more.
○ Resource: Industrial Protocols and Integration Support
● Robot Integration: Seamlessly compatible with Universal Robots (UR+), FANUC, KUKA, and ABB for advanced robotic subsystems.
○ Resource: Gocator Robot Vision Integration
● Hardware Acceleration: Use GoMax® SMART 3D VISION ACCELERATOR to scale processing power for high-data-rate applications.
