SAFETY INFORMATION 2
2.3
Laser safety
The TriSpector1000 is equipped with a Class 2 laser according to EN/IEC
60825-1:2014 (Class 2M according to EN/IEC 60825-1:2007). It complies to 21 CFR
1040.10 except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No.50, dated June 24, 2007.
The legal regulations on laser safety for the laser class of TriSpector1000 must be
adhered to.
CAUTION
Optical radiation: Laser class 2
The human eye is not at risk when briefly exposed to the radiation for up to 0.25 sec‐
onds. Exposure to the laser beam for longer periods of time may cause damage to the
retina. The laser radiation is harmless to human skin.
■
Do not look into the laser beam intentionally.
■
Never point the laser beam at people's eyes.
■
If it is not possible to avoid looking directly into the laser beam, e.g., during com‐
missioning and maintenance work, suitable eye protection must be worn.
■
Avoid laser beam reflections caused by reflective surfaces. Be particularly careful
during mounting and alignment work.
■
Do not open the housing. Opening the housing will not switch off the laser. Open‐
ing the housing may increase the level of risk.
■
Current national regulations regarding laser protection must be observed.
NOTICE
If the TriSpector1000 is mounted in a system or a casing, so that the laser safety notice
signs are hidden, additional signs must be placed beside the exit aperture of the laser

3 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
3Product description
3.1System overview
The TriSpector1000 uses laser triangulation on objects to produce 3D images. Embed‐
ded 3D image analysis tools are applied to the 3D images. The results are sent to a
control system via external interfaces.
Laser triangulation means that the object is illuminated with a laser from one direction,
and the camera acquires an image of the laser line from another direction. Each
acquired image contains a height profile, which corresponds to a cross-section of the
object. By making a scan, which means collecting height profiles across the object
while it moves, a complete 3D image can be acquired.

6Electrical installation
6.1Prerequisites for the safe operation of the device in a system
WARNING
Risk of injury and damage due to electrical current!
Incorrect grounding of the device can result in equipotential bonding currents between
the device and other grounded devices in the system. This can lead to the following
dangers and faults:
Hazardous voltages are applied to the metal housings.
•
Devices will malfunction or sustain irrepairable damage.
•
Cable shieldings are damaged by overheating and cause cable fires.
•
Remedial measures:
Only qualified electricians should be permitted to carry out work on the electrical
•
system.
Install the grounding for the sensor and the system in accordance with national
•
and regional regulations.
Ensure that the ground potential is the same at all grounding points.
•
If the cable insulation is damaged, disconnect the voltage supply immediately and
•
have the damage repaired.
Observe the following safety measures:
■
Only skilled electricians with appropriate training and qualifications are permitted
to perform electrical installation.
■
Standard safety requirements must be met when working in electrical systems.
■
Electrical connections between the TriSpector1000 and other devices may only be
made or disconnected when there is no power to the system. Otherwise, the
devices may be damaged.
■
Where connecting cables with one end open are concerned, make sure that bare
wire ends do not touch each other (risk of short circuit when the supply voltage is
switched on). Wires must be appropriately insulated from each other.
■
Wire cross sections of the supply cable from the customer's power system should
be designed and protected in accordance with the applicable standards.
■
If the supply voltage for the TriSpector1000 is not supplied via the CDB650-204
connection module, the TriSpector1000 must be protected by a separate slowblow fuse with a max. rating of 2.0 A. This fuse must be located at the start of the
supply circuit.
■
All circuits connected to the TriSpector1000 must be designed as SELV circuits
(SELV = Safety Extra Low Voltage).

6.3Encoder
NOTICE
It is strongly recommended to use an encoder for measuring applications, such as
shape measuring and volume measuring. If no encoder is used, analysis results may be
inaccurate due to object traversing speed variations.
The encoder must fulfill the following requirements:
■
The encoder must be an incremental encoder.
■
The encoder must have a RS-422/TTL interface. In the case of strong magnetic
fields in proximity to the TriSpector1000 a recommended encoder (no. 1068997)
must be used to ensure optimal performance.
■
The connection requires two encoder channels (A/A¯ and B/B¯) to keep track of
movement and direction.

7.3Handling jobs and configurations
A set of image, task and result settings is referred to as a job in SOPAS ET, while a set
of jobs and interface settings is referred to as a configuration.
Use SOPAS ET to manage jobs and to save the resulting configuration. A maximum of
32 jobs can be included in a configuration. Up to 32 tools can be applied to each job,
but only one Shape tool.
Loading a configuration
When powering on the TriSpector1000, the configuration stored on the microSD mem‐
ory card is automatically loaded into the device's working memory. If no microSD mem‐
ory card is inserted, or if there is no configuration stored on the microSD memory card,
the configuration is loaded from the device's flash memory to the working memory.
Managing jobs
Click the Select job menu in the SOPAS ET functions panel to manage and select jobs.
At the first use of the TriSpector1000, a new job ('Job 0') is created in the device's work‐
ing memory. When an existing configuration is loaded into the device's working memory,
the job that was active when the configuration was saved is automatically activated.

Image
The Image workflow step is used to set up image acquisition for good image quality. Two
different views are available: Live 3D and Sensor. See "Image workflow step", page 29
for more information.
Task
The Task workflow step contains tools for image analysis. Two different views are avail‐
able: Live 3D and Job. The Job image is the reference image where the tools are applied
and the tool configuration is done. See "Task workflow step", page 32 for more infor‐
mation.
Results
The Results workflow step contains settings for result processing and output handling.
Note that a bold red underscore in the input fields indicates syntax error. See "Results
workflow step", page 43 for more information.

7.5.1Scanning an object
The TriSpector1000 builds the image by acquiring a number of laser line profiles of a
moving object. Use an encoder if motion is not constant.
1.In the Motion section, select Profile trigger:Free running or Incremental encoder and
specify the parameters accordingly. If applicable, click Calculate for assistance with
encoder calculation. See "Encoder modes", page 29 for descriptions of the
encoder modes.
2.Move the object under the TriSpector1000 laser line to make a scan.
7.5.1.1Encoder modes
The TriSpector1000 has a two directional (up/down) encoder pulse counter. The for‐
ward (up) scanning direction is defined as clockwise encoder shaft movement, as seen
from the tip of the shaft. See the Current speed parameter in the Image workflow step for
traversing speed. There are five encoder pulse counter-modes: direction up/down, posi‐
tion up/down and motion.

7.5.2Setting the field of view
Figure 21: Field of view
The field of view consists of two regions displayed in the image area:
■
Guaranteed field of view (green region): The field of view where image acquisition
is possible. The guaranteed field of view for the TriSpector1000 consists of 2500
profiles, and the region length is determined by the Profile distance parameter.
■
Selected field of view (blue region): The region in which the camera acquires range
data for image analysis. The Width and Height of this region are set to maximum by
default. The default Length depends on the device model (120-480 mm).
Adjust the field of view to optimize performance:
■
Edit the Profile distance parameter in the Motion section in the parameter pane to
change the length of the guaranteed field of view. A smaller profile distance allows
a higher scan density but reduces the region length.
■
Use the value boxes in the Field of view section in the parameter pane to resize the
selected field of view. A smaller region allows faster processing and higher profile
frequency rate.
■
Make the pixels in the selected field of view more square by setting the X-resolution
parameter to a value similar to the Profile distance parameter.
NOTE
If the X-resolution and the profile distance differ more than a factor 3, some tools may
not work properly.
7.5.3Adjusting the image settings
To adjust the image settings to get a good 3D image:
1.Click the Sensor button located above the image area to see the laser profile which
can be used as reference when adjusting the exposure time and gain. See "Laser
line exposure time", page 31 for examples.
2.Click the Live 3D button and perform a scan.
3.In the Acquisition section, adjust the Exposure time and Gain until the 3D live view
looks good.
Try to keep the gain low, and instead increase the exposure time. This will reduce
noise in the image.
4.Adjust the Laser threshold parameter to determine which image sensor intensity val‐
ues to include when locating laser peaks. A high threshold value results in less
