Page 21 Network adapters The Z-Trak2 3D sensor connects to a computer's gigabit network adapter (NIC). If the computer is already connected to a network, it will require a second network adapter. Multiple devices may be controlled by one host computer on a single NIC through a switch. Two recommended 5GigE network adapters (not exhaustive): •...
Page 22: Theory Of Operation
Theory of operation How a 3D profiler sensor works There are three components to the Z-Trak2 profiler: • a laser source (blue or red depending on model) that emits a laser line projected on the object. • a 2D sensor that captures the light reflected from the object. A narrow bandpass optical filter tuned to the laser color is placed over the 2D sensor view window to minimize ambient light interference.
Page 23: Definitions
Figure 5. (Left) X, Y and Z axes in relation to the profiler plane of light (in purple). (Right) Each captured profile, depicted as a white line in the XZ-plane, outputs Z (height) values. A scan captures a sequence of profiles;...
Page 24 Figure 6. The various terms used in this document (defined below) are depicted here, seen in the XZ-plane. The Y-axis is perpendicular to the page. Note that the diagram is not to scale. X-Axis The X-axis is the lateral axis that runs along the laser line emitted by the profiler. Z-Axis The Z-axis is the vertical axis where height measurements are made.
Page 25 Z range (Measurement Range) The Z range is the maximum height, in world measurement units, that the 3D profile sensor can measure. The Z range, also called depth of field (DOF), is model dependent and factory calibrated, and cannot be changed by users. The start of the Z range (the 0 value) is the farthest point from the laser exit window;...
Page 26: Installation
Installation Z-Trak2 profile sensors require proper setup to produce correct measurements. The Z-Trak2 installation consists of the physical setup, software setup and network connection. Please review the following sections as they include information and advice on how to install your device. Physical setup The 3D laser profile sensors are generally used with moving object, but some setups require the sensors to move instead of the object.
Page 27 Figure 8. The laser sheet must be parallel to the X-axis and perpendicular to the Y-axis. • The target object must be in the measurement area (see Figure 6) to obtain valid measurement results. • Z-Trak2 profiler is designed to dissipate heat through its housing. As such, ensure that it is mounted on a heat conductive metallic structure and that the entire surface of one of the sides of the housing makes full contact with the conductive surface.
Page 28: Z-Trak2 Mounting
• Power supplies must meet the requirements defined in sections PoE+ power requirements (PoE supply) or General-purpose inputs characteristics. • Ethernet cables must be CAT6. Note that Z-Trak2 mechanical specifications will vary for different models. Z-Trak2 Mounting Planning machine opening space Connector length, cable bend radius, enclosure height (height of Z-Trak2 casing), working distance, and height of the measurement area determine the minimum machine opening required for installation.
Page 29 Machine opening space NOT TO SCALE Enclosure height Working distance Standoff distance Measurement area Z range Working range Measurement AOI (measurement range max) Figure 10. Machine opening space (example). The green rectangle depicts the maximal height of the opening space, when the target object is placed farthest from the 3D sensor. The object must be placed within the measurement area.
Page 30: Planning For Unwanted Light Reflection Or Obstructed View
The dimensions of the machine opening required for setup are determined as follows: H max = enclosure height + standoff distance + Z range W min = Far FOV width D = enclosure length + connector length + cable bend radius The enclosure height, standoff distance, Z range, Far FOV width are AOI features, found in the Data Output category in Z-Expert.
Page 31: Controlling Ambient Illumination
Figure 13. The form of the object blocks the sensor from seeing the laser. Objects made of reflective surfaces Scanning reflective surfaces and oddly angled surfaces may scatter the laser light, making it difficult to obtain a clean line profile. The profiler may need to be pitched forward or backwards to change laser light reflection angles away from entering the profiler’s image sensor window.
Page 32: Powering Z-Trak2 With Poe
If the Z-Trak2 is used in a location with direct sunlight or any other type of bright full spectrum lighting, profiles may distort due to interference with the laser emission. Bright ambient light of wavelength close to that of the laser will pass through the 3D sensor filter and interfere with measurements.
Page 33: Powering Z-Trak2 Using The I/O Connector
Powering Z-Trak2 using the I/O connector It is also possible to power a Z-Trak2 unit via its I/O connector using a 24 VDC power supply. Connect power via the I/O or PoE, not both. Although Z-Trak2 has protection, differences in ground levels may cause operational issues or electrical faults. For additional details see Cables and accessories.

Page 57: Creating A 3D Surface View
Creating a 3D surface view A 3D surface view is created by performing a scan, i.e. by acquiring multiple profiles in a single buffer. A scan can be configured by setting the value of the profilesPerScan feature to greater than 1 (see Data Output features).
Page 58: Adjusting Laser Intensity For Optical Performance
• Fixed scan: the number of profiles is determined by the Profiles per Scan feature. A single trigger starts acquisition. • Variable scan: the number of profiles is not precisely known. A start trigger and a stop trigger (optional) are used; the number of profiles is determined by the interval between the triggers, unless the Profiles per Scan value is reached, which will stop acquisition implicitly.
Page 59: Optimizing Profile Rate
Figure 20. (Left) Display showing a highly saturated profile. (Right) Same profile with decreased laser intensity and profile exposure time. Optimizing profile rate Use following guidelines to acquire profiles at the maximum speed: • In the Data Output category, change the number of Profiles Per Scan to 200 profiles or more.

Page 61: Multi-Sensor Systems
Multi-sensor systems Several Z-Trak profiler sensors may be configured over or around a target object to enlarge the measurement area, to measure different areas of interest, or to eliminate occlusion. In some cases, profile acquisition may be triggered synchronously or in sequence between sensors. In other cases, a larger, unified measurement space (UMS) can be created, such that all sensors report measurements within the same coordinate system.
Page 62 Multi-sensor synchronization can be done manually. However, Z-Expert provides a Synchronization wizard to help with the settings. All values can then be saved in a camera configuration file. The following timing diagrams depict how some of the Multi-Sensor Sync parameters are set. The diagrams do not include details about other synchronization settings such as exposure time or profile rate.

Page 64: Simultaneous Acquisition Settings
Simultaneous acquisition settings In All at once mode (simultaneous), all profiler sensors will start acquisition at the same time. The only available settings are the trigger rate, and the option between Internal Trigger or External Trigger. The wizard will determine the exposure time and Master Sync Delay (Group Trigger Delay) to optimize acquisition given the Trigger Rate.
Page 65: Synchronizing Without The Wizard
Synchronizing without the wizard Synchronization can be done manually without the help of the wizard. All parameters must be set manually. Note that some features may be set indirectly, such as the Trigger Rate/Profile Trigger Frequency (which depend on the trigger start source). The user is responsible for making sure of the proper timing between sensors.

External trigger usage Input signal is debounced to ensure that no voltage glitch is detected as a valid transition. This debounce circuit time constant can be programmed from 1 s to 255 µs. Any pulse smaller than the programmed value is blocked and therefore not seen by the board. If no debounce value is specified (value of 0 µs), the minimum value of 1 µs will be used.

Page 130: Data Type Output Format Description
3D Data Type output format description The Linescan 3D output type allows for different 3D data type output formats: UniformX Z (RectifiedC), XZ (CalibratedAC) and XZRW (CalibratedACRW). Things to know about 3D output data • Because of optical system considerations and because the measurement area forms a trapeze, the resolution varies in the X and Z directions, namely, the intervals between points in the X and Z axes vary.
Page 131: Uniformx Z (Rectifiedc)
UniformX Z (RectifiedC) As mentioned above, the sampling interval between points varies in both X and Z in the measurement area. The UniformX Z format intends to make the sampling interval uniform in the X direction; each profile only consists of 16-bit Z values, the interval in X-axis (called step size) is implicit.
Page 132 Resampling Points in X Details Maximum resolution between Near real points is at near FOV (without resampling) Distance The rectified output Z-points between real are an interpolation points is larger at between the closest left and the far FOV right real pixel (without resampling) uniform spacing in X...
Page 133: Xz (Calibratedac)
XZ (CalibratedAC) This output format takes into account that the resolution varies in the X and Z directions. So, any raw value in X and in Z is "compensated" for this variation; this process is done automatically in the sensor, which outputs "calibrated" data. The calibrated data must be multiplied by a scaling factor to obtain the real-world Z value in the specified measurement unit.
