Micro-Epsilon:surfaceCONTROL

surfaceCONTROL is a family of 3D snapshot sensors from the German company Micro-Epsilon. It uses structured light, projecting a stripe pattern onto the surface with a projector and capturing it with a camera to obtain a 3D point cloud of a large area in a single shot, and is used to inspect the flatness, height, and shape deviation of diffuse surfaces at the micron level. Unlike scanCONTROL, which scans by moving a laser line, it measures while stationary; for reflective surfaces, the same company offers reflectCONTROL.
