LMI Gocator 2880 Review: Specs and Uses of the Dual-Camera 3D Laser Profiler
Updated: 7 days ago
The LMI Gocator 2880 is a smart 3D laser line profiler with two cameras, made for large objects such as logs. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
A single-camera profiler loses data where the surface hides the laser line from the camera. The Gocator 2880 places a camera on each side of the laser, so one covers what the other cannot see. With a field of view up to 1.26 m and a measurement range of 800 mm it is sized for large, irregular objects, and LMI names primary log scanning in sawmills as its application. Resolution is modest, 0.375 mm across the line, which suits that scale. Scan rate and weight are not on the page.
