Faro 9MP version Cobalt Array Imager is for inspection, factory automation and in-process verification

Faro has launched a higher resolution version (9MP) of its Cobalt Array Imager, which is geared toward inspection, factory automation and in-process verification applications.

The 9MP is suitable for when there is a need to capture fine details and features on edges and surfaces, including stamped, machined and engraved parts. It features on-board processing, blue light technology, interchangeable lenses, a high dynamic range and automatic exposure.

On-board processing, which is said to be an industry first, enables multi-imager array configurations of an unlimited number of Cobalt sensors. Multi-imager arrays expand the scan area to deliver rapid and automated inspection of all surfaces of an object, thus reducing cycle time, says Faro. The actionable data is delivered as a simple go/no-go result or a dimensional deviation colour map.
