(Perceptron Inc.: Plymouth, MI) -- Perceptron Inc., a global provider of noncontact measurement and inspection solutions, has introduced its groundbreaking Helix 3D Metrology Solution.

Helix is an innovative and versatile 3-D metrology platform that enables manufacturers to perform their most challenging measurement tasks with ease and precision. It combines more than 25 years of laser-triangulation and 3-D metrology experience with recent technological advances to create a unique and powerful measuring solution.

Helix manufactures sensors with Intelligent Illumination, a patent-pending breakthrough that allows users to control virtually every aspect of the sensor’s calibrated light source. By customizing the quantity, density, and orientation of the sensor’s laser lines through a simple user interface, image acquisition is optimized on a feature-by-feature basis. The user can configure tightly spaced laser lines for small, complex features, increase the number of laser lines to robustly measure challenging materials, and alter the orientation of the laser lines to accommodate the differences between multiple parts manufactured on the same assembly line.
