3D scanning & dimensional inspection
Turn a projected line into a calibrated surface profile.
Application focusLine width & sampling
Field & depth range
Choose fan angle and working distance for the full measurement volume.
Surface contrast
Balance wavelength, exposure and reflected light without saturation.
Why the source matters
A camera observes the projected line across the surface to measure shape, height, flatness and dimensions with a calibrated triangulation geometry.
The correct source is defined at the sample or process—not at the laser aperture. Wavelength and operating mode set the interaction; stability, delivery, timing, and control determine whether it stays useful in the complete system.

Application workflow
Design from the result backward.
Three decisions turn the application into a practical source specification.
Define the measurement volume
Set field width, standoff, height range, required resolution and scan speed. Calibrate the camera and laser geometry over that volume.
Choose the line profile
Specify fan angle, usable line length, width and uniformity at the working distance. Test the real surface, including dark and reflective areas.
Coordinate acquisition
Match line power and modulation to camera exposure and motion. Validate profile accuracy, repeatability and background rejection on representative parts.
Selection guide
Match the architecture to the experiment.
These are starting architectures. Precisometer qualifies the final wavelength, output, delivery, control, and integration package against your setup.
- Wavelength band
- Select a listed wavelength from 375–1550 nm to match the surface and camera
- Operating mode
- CW line projection with TTL or analog modulation
Compact scanner
OEM-MF suits a compact instrument when the mounting, driver and thermal path are designed together.
Faster acquisition
MDL-III offers up to 100 kHz modulation with PSU-A-D; other listed drivers are limited to 30 kHz.
