STEMMER IMAGING to Distribute LMI Technologies’ 3D Sensors in Europe
POSTED 04/06/2011

VANCOUVER, CANADA, April 1, 2011/ Gocator 2000 series is an exciting new breed of pre-calibrated sensors that make industrial 3D measurements more affordable and available to a wide range of applications. Ease of use is leveraged by the built-in web server as an effective GUI for rapid setup and control. Users can connect, set up exposure and speeds, visualize profiles, measure dimensions, select communication outputs, and monitor results using Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Safari web browsers. This built-in web connectivity enables users to access the sensor from any PC without additional software, drivers, control boxes, amplifiers, or dependency on a specific operating system.
"Gocator represents an evolutionary leap as it creates a new category of flexible 3D sensors that are powerful, easy to use, and competitively priced," said LMI Technologies CEO, Terry Arden. "Gocator was developed to carry out 3D inspection and integrate with factory I/O - all from a web browser experience. You don’t have to be a system integrator or machine vision expert to perform 3D measurement!" LMI selected STEMMER IMAGING as a leading distributor with expertise in vision systems who provide in-house training and next day delivery from their European inventory supply.
"Both STEMMER IMAGING’s 3D components business and 2D smart camera and sensor business are sectors that are delivering significant growth," said Mark Williamson, Director – Corporate Market Development at STEMMER IMAGING. "The addition of 3D smart camera technology to our portfolio brings together both these technologies into an easy to deploy product using web based configuration. LMI Technologies is a world leader in delivering 3D technology to many OEMs and we are delighted to be able to bring this state of the art sensor technology to both Europe and the end user factory automation marketplace."
Users can also go beyond the built-in measurement tools by using "C" language scripting to perform custom calculations or define unique logic decisions. All of the Gocators in the 2000 series are network “aware” allowing one sensor to be paired with a "buddy" Gocator for more sophisticated differential measurement tasks. A Software Development Kit (SDK) is available for power users to connect a series of Gocators to form a networked system to scan large or complex objects. Rich I/O and simplified cabling support a variety of common digital and analog interface requirements.
