Gocator Line Profile Sensors: User Manual
How Gocator Works • 56
You can use most of Gocator's profile measurement tools on a section, letting you perform
measurements that are not possible with surface measurement tools.
For more information on sections, see Sections on page 149.
Part Matching
Gocator can match scanned parts to the edges of a model based on a previously scanned part (see Using
Edge Detection on page 136) or to the dimensions of a fitted bounding box or ellipse that encapsulate
the model (see Using Bounding Box and Ellipse on page 145). When parts match, Gocator can rotate
scans so that they are all oriented in the same way. This allows measurement tools to be applied
consistently to parts, regardless of the orientation of the part you are trying to match.
Measurement and Anchoring
After a target has been scanned and, optionally, the data has been further processed, Gocator is ready to
take measurements on the scan data.
