3.1 Short Description
3.1.1 Measuring Principle
The scanCONTROL 30xx sensor operates according to
the principle of optical triangulation (light intersection
method):
- A laser line is projected onto the target surface via a
linear optical system.
- The diffusely reflected light from the laser line is
replicated on a sensor matrix by a high quality optical
system and evaluated in two dimensions.
The laser line triangulation corresponds in principle to
the triangulation of a laser point. In addition, during the
measurement a row of lines are simultaneously illumi-
nated by the laser line. Apart from the distance informa-
tion (Z-axis), the exact position of each point on the laser
line (X-axis) is also acquired and output by the system.

3.1.2 System Setup
The scanCONTROL 30xx sensor is a compact sensor with an integrated controller. All necessary integral parts are combined in one
housing.
