3D-A1000 DIMENSIONING SYSTEM

Fast, accurate, and intuitive dimensioning technology

The 3D-A1000 dimensioning system is a compact and industrial 3D + 2D

motion-capable smart camera used for dimensioning both regular and
irregularly-shaped items. Patented 3D technology combined with 2D inspection
capabilities delivers precision at high speed. The 3D-A1000 provides reliable
and effective results without any complicated setup or maintenance.

3D + 2D technology provides
functionality beyond dimensioning
Unlike conventional methods, the 3D-A1000 uses
patented 3D symbolic light technology to freeze motion
3D point cloud
with a single image. This generates more accurate
3D point cloud data, eliminating the need for complex
calibration and encoder integration. Embedded
processing enables use of powerful Cognex vision
tools to run additional 3D + 2D inspections.
