LMI Gocator 2300 Review: Specs and Uses of the Megapixel 3D Laser Line Profilers

The LMI Gocator 2300 is a series of smart 3D laser line profilers with a megapixel imager and 1280 points per profile. The manufacturer does not publish prices. This review covers the models, specifications, features and uses.

Quick Verdict

The 2300 series is the long-standing workhorse of the Gocator family. It doubles the lateral resolution of the entry-level 2100 series while keeping the same seven fields of view, from 18 mm to more than a metre. LMI describes it as suited to high-speed, high-volume applications. Like the rest of the family it measures inside the sensor and is certified for Universal Robots. Newer lines exceed it: the 2400 has a 2-megapixel imager and blue lasers, and the 2500 is faster. The series page gives no scan rates or weights.

Design and Build Quality

Each model has the same field of view, clearance distance and measurement range as its 2100 counterpart, with half the X resolution figure, meaning twice the detail across the laser line. Height resolution is the same on both lines.

Software and Integration

Setup

A browser-based interface and an open-source SDK are used for configuration and real-time 3D visualization.

Connectivity

Native drivers and industrial protocols connect the sensor to robots and PLCs.

Universal Robots

The series is Universal Robots+ certified.
