SmartRay announced the launch of the latest addition to its ECCO X sensors. The ECCO X 025 Dual-Head is the first in the range to offer the full capabilities of the X family, delivering 100% inspection at metrology grade level combined with occlusion-free scanning.

While traditional single-head sensors experience shadowing from raised surface areas when the laser hits the target point but the camera is blocked from viewing it, the ECCO X 025 Dual-Head features a second camera head positioned symmetrically to the first, which significantly reduces occlusions and enables uninterrupted visibility even on complex surfaces.  

The dual-head sensor ensures accurate 3D point capture across all parts of the sample without missing data that could occur due to shadowing, as the two cameras overcome this. 

The ECCO X 025 Dual-Head is the first dual-head sensor to have X capabilities, which include up to 40 kHz scan rate and 4096 3D points per profile. It also comes standard in lc 3R, with higher scan speeds through shorter exposure times. 

It is suitable for a wide range of applications that may be affected by shadowing, including the automotive sector, where the ECCO X 025 Dual-Head can meet the high inspection demands of structural and reflective parts like battery trays.  In semiconductors and electronics, high precision is essential for inspecting small, shiny, metallic objects, including conductor wire bonding, BGA and also PCBA, and this new sensor is a game-changer in this process.

Claire Rathsack, ECCO Business Manager said: “We’re setting a new benchmark for high-precision, shadow-free 3D scanning with the launch of the ECCO X 025 Dual-Head. By integrating dual-head scanning into our industry-leading X platform, manufacturers can now achieve faster, more reliable inspection with precision, especially for challenging, reflective, or complex parts in demanding applications." 

Key specifications include a field of view (FOV) of 25mm at mid-field, a typical measurement range of 20mm and a laser wavelength of 450 nm (brilliant blue), the ECCO X 025 Dual-Head offer accurate inspection and precise measurement.
