Stemmer Imaging has announced that the latest version of the Gocator series of 3D smart cameras from LMI Technologies has introduced a host of new features to further enhance its performance in machine vision applications. These include whole part measurement including volumetric measurements, 2D surface inspection, Modbus TCP support and a number of triggering enhancements.

The new whole part feature is said to make factory automation easier and less expensive by eliminating the multiple components and software engineering required for automated part scanning and detection. By automatically detecting the start and end point of a single or multiple components travelling along a conveyor, the whole part can be scanned and measured. With discrete parts segmented into 3D cloud datasets, Gocator can now perform volumetric measurements such as volume, centroid, orientation, etc to provide information on dimensions, location, and orientation.

Support for record/playback is also provided and it is possible to access whole part data using a Software Development Kit.
