LMI Gocator 3210 Review: Specs and Uses of the Large-Field 3D Snapshot Sensor
Updated: 7 days ago
The LMI Gocator 3210 is a smart 3D snapshot sensor that uses blue-LED structured light and a 2-megapixel stereo camera. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
The 3210 is the general-purpose snapshot sensor in the Gocator range. It captures an area of up to 100 by 154 mm in one shot, with accuracy of 35 µm, and is aimed at automotive components and assemblies where a robot stops over holes, studs, gaps and edges. Compared with the newer 3500 series it has a lower-resolution camera. The rate of 6 Hz requires acceleration. The page gives no weight.
