Diode Laser Modules for Machine Vision Lighting - Prophotonix

Structured Light Lasers

To deliver high speed inspection or 3D measurements, we offer Structured Laser Light (SLL)- a technique for projecting a known pattern of pixels (singular line, horizontal lines, crosshair, grid) onto an object, known for its speed of data capture. If your machine vision application requires a structured light laser, we provide a range of high-uniformity machine vision lasers including the 3D PRO Laser series, designed for seamless integration into existing machine vision systems. In addition, the PROdigii digital laser has been designed to deliver outstanding wavelength stability and thermal management in even the most challenging operating environments. For machine vision laser lights, our design considerations include:

Uniformity
Depth of focus
Fan angle
Line quality
