after it has been generated, but the
generation itself does not depend
on the detection logic. To do this,
check Enabled in the Part
Detection panel.
To configure surface generation:
1. Go to the Scan page and choose Surface in the Scan Mode panel.
If this mode is not selected, you will not be able to configure surface generation.
2. Expand the Surface Generation panel by clicking on the panel header or the button.
3. Choose an option from the Type drop-down and any additional settings.
See the types and their settings described above.
Part Detection
In Surface mode, the Gocator sensor can analyze the 3Dpoint cloud created from profiles to identify
discrete objects. Surface measurements can then be performed on each discrete object. Part detection is
configured using the Part Detection panel on the Scan page.
Part detection must be manually enabled when Type is set to Fixed Length, Variable Length, or
Rotational in the Surface Generation panel. When Type is set to Continuous, part detection is
always enabled.
Part detection can be performed when Source in the Trigger panel is set to Time or Encoder. To use
the Time trigger source, the travel speed must be calibrated. To use the Encoder trigger source, the
encoder resolution must be calibrated. See Aligning Sensors on page 107 for more information.
Multiple parts can pass through the laser at the same time and will be individually tracked. Parts can be
separated along the laser line (X axis), in the direction of travel (Y axis), or by gated external input.
