Portable System Provides Greater Scope in Measuring

The flexible Comet L3D 2 from Zeiss offers simple on-site calibration that can change the measuring field by swapping the lenses for new measuring tasks in virtually no time.

Posted: May 6, 2016

Ideal for inspection, tool manufacture and mold making, design, rapid manufacturing and reverse engineering, the extremely compact and lightweight Comet L3D 2 sensor system from Zeiss can be transported between application sites without difficulty. Simple on-site calibration enables changing the measuring field by swapping the lenses so that the system is ready for new measuring tasks in virtually no time.

Carl Zeiss Industrial Metrology, LLC (Maple Grove, MN) introduces the Comet L3D 2, the newest member of its compact 3D sensor family for easy and fast measurements. “The Comet L3D 2 uses the latest sensor technology and project-oriented software for easy and reliable 3D data capture of components and objects that is fast and precise, offering superb performance,” explains Dr. Marcus Steinbichler, the chief executive officer of Carl Zeiss Optotechnik GmbH (Neubeuern, Germany). “At the same time, the shop has greater scope to perform a multitude of measuring tasks thanks to the unique flexibility of the system. Our colin3D high-performance software platform also ensures a consistently efficient and goal-oriented workflow during the entire measuring process.”

With a range of working distances from 45 mm to 500 mm, the Comet L3D 2 sensor ensures problem-free operation, even in cramped conditions. This innovative solution has an extremely fast warm-up mode, allowing the operator to concentrate fully on the measuring task. Available options to create an integrated measurement system include rotary tables, tripods, a variety of computers and in-depth, on-site technical training. The Comet L3D 2 sensor makes flexible application possibilities the number one priority. The extremely compact and lightweight sensor system can be transported between application sites without difficulty. Its simple on-site calibration enables changing the measuring field by swapping the lenses so that the system is ready for new measuring tasks in virtually no time.

The range of applications for the Comet L3D 2 includes inspection, tool manufacture and mold making, design, rapid manufacturing, reverse engineering as well as the archeology and capture of art-historical objects. With high light intensity and a fast camera (with a 2448 x 2050 pixel array), the Comet L3D 2 allows users to have extreme flexibility when it comes to the application site. “Even in difficult ambient conditions, it delivers precise 3D data, automatically recognizes changes in vibration and exposure and offers high-end technology for exceptional data quality with maximum ease of use,” notes Steinbichler. “Its enormous light yield and distinctively high measuring speed ensure reliable data capture on extremely different object surfaces.”

COMET models with 1M, 2M, 5M, 8M and 16M pixel arrays are immediately available through Zeiss direct sales and authorized business partners.
