New 3D sensors for the food industry, logistics sector

ECS stands for Eco Compact Sensor and is the latest innovation in 3D sensor technology in terms of performance and cost-effectiveness. Through the use of cheaper optics and sensors as well as the support of lasers with a wavelength of 660nm of class 2M, the products in the ECS series are available at a low price, but without sacrificing reliable performance.

Designed as a standardized variant, the ECS sensors are ideal for applications in the food and logistics industries as well as robot vision, for which high-performance technology is not required. With an output of 2048 points per profile and a high speed of up to 43 kHz, the ECS sensors offer fast and precise data acquisition using the principle of laser triangulation. In addition, various field of views are available, such as 100 or 160 mm (others are being planned), which enable adaptation to a wide variety of detection areas and requirements.

Another outstanding feature of the ECS series is its compact design. The sensors can be easily integrated into almost any application without the need for extensive customization. Thanks to the GigE-Vision / GenICam data interface, the software connection can be quickly implemented in machine vision applications. This makes them an ideal choice for projects where cost and efficiency are the priority without having to compromise on quality.
