Zebra 3S series 3D sensors · Mid range
3S40
Structured-light 3D sensor with high resolution and accuracy for depalletizing, static dimensioning and inspection of large products.
3S40 is a 3D sensor that delivers high resolution and accuracy for depalletizing, static dimensioning and inspection of large products. Structured light technology produces highly detailed point clouds and true per-pixel measurement on static scenes. It comes with Aurora Design Assistant or Aurora Vision Studio and pairs with 4Sight EV7. Scanning volume reaches up to 2 m.
