The ShapeDrive G4 3D sensors are high-performance sensors in the field of resolution and measuring speed and are the pioneers among 3D machine vision sensors. Thanks to the integrated processing of the data into a 3D point cloud and a fast Ethernet interface with up to 10 Gbit/s, users can receive and process 3D point clouds in the shortest possible time.

The measuring principle of the 3D machine vision sensor ShapeDrive G4 is based on triangulation and structured light. Several patterns are projected onto the object via the illumination, while it is captured synchronously by a camera. Sophisticated algorithms are used to calculate a 3D point cloud from the various images. The internal calculation is carried out using the fastest electronics. The 3D sensors of the ShapeDrive G4 series, also known as snapshot sensors, are available with different measuring ranges or measuring volumes, so that a sensor can always be selected to suit the application.
