Stingray µFocus laser line generators enable detection of smaller features in machine vision applications based on triangulation. The lasers can achieve focused linewidths as small as 20 µm, providing increased spatial resolution and the ability to discern finer details. Based on the company's laser diode technology, the lasers are available at 520, 660, 785, and 830 nm wavelengths, at power levels up to 200 mW. The lasers support "dynamic line balancing," which allows for correction of any intensity bias in configurations where the laser must be used at off-axis illumination angles.
