The Eyeonic Trace Laser Line Scanner by SiLC Technologies is making waves in the world of industrial automation. With its innovative technology, this device brings sub-millimeter depth precision to applications like warehouse operations, robotics, farming, construction, and manufacturing. By combining advanced LiDAR capabilities with practical design features, the scanner offers a glimpse into the future of automated workflows.
Precision Redefined: Beyond Human Vision
One of the standout features of the Eyeonic Trace is its unparalleled accuracy. Built on
Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) LiDAR technology, it measures object dimensions with millimeter precision from as close as 10 centimeters to a range of 10 meters. This level of detail surpasses human vision, making the scanner an ideal tool for applications requiring meticulous accuracy, such as high-speed conveyor belts and robotic arms. Its ability to measure diverse objects, regardless of reflective properties, adds to its versatility.
A Design That Prioritizes Flexibility
Compact and lightweight, the scanner measures just 200 x 135 x 75 millimeters. Its small footprint allows it to be mounted in tight spaces, such as above conveyor belts or on robotic arms. Additionally, the 72° field of view ensures the device can handle a variety of object sizes, from large packages to smaller, detailed components. The Class 1 eye-safe laser makes it suitable for environments with human workers, eliminating the need for restricted zones or protective gear.
Ready for Diverse Environments
Industrial settings vary widely in lighting and conditions, but the Eyeonic Trace rises to the challenge. With ambient light immunity, it performs reliably in dim warehouses and bright outdoor settings alike. The scanner’s robust design ensures dependable operation even in dynamic environments, catering to the increasing demands of automation across industries like construction and farming.
Innovation at the Core
At the heart of the Eyeonic Trace is SiLC’s Eyeonic Vision Sensor, an integrated silicon photonics chip featuring low-loss waveguides, coherent detection, and optical amplifiers. This compact, energy-efficient design allows the scanner to set a new standard for line scanning technology. As SiLC’s first fully integrated product, the Eyeonic Trace represents a shift in their approach, making advanced scanning technology accessible to customers without in-house integration capabilities.
Conclusion
With its technical advancements and user-friendly design, the Eyeonic Trace Laser Line Scanner is set to make a significant impact on industrial automation. SiLC plans to release samples in Q2 2025, with production scheduled for the latter half of the year. The scanner’s debut at CES 2025 in Las Vegas is eagerly anticipated as industries continue to adopt smarter, more precise automation solutions.
