Z-LASER
Positioning laser
-
Positioning lasers  Light the way
Positioning lasers are always used where precision in alignment and positioning is required. They indicate certain positions safely and reliably on a wide variety of materials. As line lasers, they are often used on band saws, cross-cut saws, press brakes and various cutting machines. Therefore they are often found in the wood, metal or textile industry. As cross lasers, these laser modules reliably mark points for drilling or other processing steps. With the help of circular lasers, the correct positioning of round objects is made much easier.
Laser for machine vision
-
Lasers for machine vision from Z-LASER are used as structured illumination in many machine vision systems. The combination of laser illumination and machine vision offers interesting possibilities for the automation of optical quality control. With this form of illumination the spatial contours of moving and non-moving objects can be captured.
The lasers are used in combination with an industrial camera to detect and measure defects, presence, diameter, edges, gaps and more. Depending on the type of objects to be examined, line lasers with homogeneous and thin line projections or different patterns (multi lines, dot grids, grid structures, random patterns etc.) as well as wavelengths (blue, green, red, IR) are usually used.
Laser projectors
-
Material and time savings thanks to laser projectors from Z-LASER
Industrial laser projectors serve as optical guidance systems. In many manufacturing processes, they allow working without templates by indicating directly on the workpiece how tools have to be positioned or material has to be mounted.
This can be the case, for example, in welding and assembly or in so-called light guide systems. In this way, laser projectors guide employees step-by-step through the assembly process.The laser projectors from Z-LASER are particularly convincing due to their fast and stable projection with a high repetition rate, so that visual flickering is reduced or at best prevented. The Z-LASER laser projectors are optimized for 2D and 3D applications and offer a highly accurate projection in the sub-millimeter range. The optical angles (80° x 80°) allow the coverage of large working areas.
