SiLC Technologies Announces Eyeonic Trace Laser Line Scanner
SiLC Technologies, Inc. (SiLC) has announced the launch of Eyeonic® Trace, its revolutionary Class 1 Laser Line Scanner capable of dimensioning objects with extreme accuracy, even from distances up to 10 meters. Targeted to industrial automation applications, the new Eyeonic Trace is an all-in-one inspection and measurement tool for objects moving on conveyor belts, bucket elevators and assembly lines or being scanned by a robotic arm.
“What we’re seeing in mobility related to machine vision that is human-like and predictive is following suit in industrial automation, warehouse operations, robotics and manufacturing,” said Dr. Mehdi Asghari, CEO of SiLC Technologies. “The new Eyeonic Trace Laser Line Scanner provides better depth precision than the human eye. Not only does our Eyeonic Trace measure objects with great precision, but the laser is also Class 1 eye safe, which means that factory workers can use it without the constraints of a ‘Keep Out’ area or ‘Special Eye Protection Required’ mandate.”
The Eyeonic Trace marks SiLC’s first entry into offering a turnkey, fully integrated product. Until now, SiLC has provided technology solutions as key components to strategic customers that integrate it into their own product lines. This expansion in SiLC’s business model is by popular demand and enables the company to access a broader range of customers who do not have their own product integration capability.
At the core of the Eyeonic Trace design is the company’s Eyeonic Vision Sensor with a highly integrated silicon photonics chip containing low-loss waveguides, coherent detection, semiconductor optical amplifiers and other photonic functions. In addition, the laser in the Eyeonic Trace is very low power and meets the Class 1 laser specifications, meaning that it is eye safe when deployed in any automation application.
