Cobra™ laser profile scanners are precision instruments for quantifiable analysis of surface contours, profile, and texture without physical contact
COBRA 2D / 3D
Laser Profile Scanner
Cobra™ is an economical, non-contact measurement system for quickly scanning virtually any surface to produce high resolution two or three dimensional profiles. Cobra provides speed and precision at an attractive price.
Its laser technology, computer-controlled moving sensor, and dedicated metrology software make Cobra an extremely versatile profile scanner. A choice of DRS™ sensors allow measurement of polished or diffuse materials with Z-axis height resolutions to 0.125 µm. The DRS sensor scans up to 50 mm across the surface in the Y axis, accumulating variations in surface heights in the Z-axis.
Cobra 3D adds a motorized stage to move the sample up to 100 mm in the X-axis, allowing parallel linear profiles to generate a three dimensional image. The Cobra and its stage are secured to a granite plate, creating an extremely stable integrated measurement system. Cobra connects to the parallel port of a PC-compatible computer. Use QVI's Scan-X metrology software to control data acquisition and display the part profile to generate a three dimensional image. The Cobra and its stage are secured to a granite plate, creating an extremely stable integrated measurement system.
- Use on benchtop, in-line, or place directly on the component being scanned.
- Perfect for non-destructive measurement of fragile or pliable parts.
- Connect Cobra directly to QVI video machines for results to complement video measurements.
