(LMI: Vancouver, Canada) -- LMI Technologies, a global leader in 3-D laser measurement and control sensor technology, has launched upgraded firmware for its line of Gocator 3-D smart sensors. Release 3.3 expands Gocator’s built-in tools with new support for advanced measurements, improved scripting, and enhanced programmable logic controller (PLC) interoperation.
The Gocator is a series of precalibrated, laser line profile sensors that are easy to use and integrate into industrial measurement and control applications. Built-in measurement tools and PLC control connectivity and reporting make Gocator an ideal solution for automated in-line quality control.
Features highlighting v. 3.3 of the Gocator firmware include:
• Certified Ethernet/IP for easier integration into PLC controlled systems
• Advanced gap, flush, and groove measurement tools for common inline inspection tasks
• Improved scripting that carries measurements from one frame to another
• Occlusion prevention using two sensors to deliver more of the scanned surface
“Release 3.3 marks a major development milestone in Gocator’s evolution,” says LMI CEO, Terry Arden. “Having Ethernet/IP certification makes it easy to integrate Gocator into thousands of factories. Our gap and flush measurement tools are simple to use and a perfect fit for the automotive industry. The groove tool is perfect for tire-related applications, and beyond the automotive industry, these new tools can be used in hundreds of applications in a wide array of industries. Making Gocator simple to use is in our DNA, and release 3.3 is a just another step in the right direction for LMI.”
Release 3.3 is freely available for download now. To learn more about Gocator or to review a complete list of Release 3.3’s new features, functions, and improvements visit LMI’s website.
