LTPRSMHP3W series are LED pattern projectors specifically designed for the most demanding 3D profiling and measurement applications. Triangulation techniques require that structured light is directed onto a sample at a considerable angle from vertical. Tilting the light source pattern becomes essential to ensure that the patterned light is properly focused across the entire sample surface.

LTPRSMHP3W pattern projectors integrate a precision tilting mechanism based on the Scheimpflug condition. This ensures that focus is maintained across the entire part, and reconstruction of the 3d surface is as accurate as possible. Moreover, the internal focus mechanism offers the maximum optical throughput.

KEY ADVANTAGES

Scheimpflug tilt adjustment compatible with C-mount optics
Focus is maintained even when the pattern is tilted.
Light condenser focusing mechanism
For excellent optical coupling and light throughput.
Enhanced optical power

With the Scheimpflug adjustment focus is maintained across the entire plane.

LTPRHP3W Electrical features

These LED devices integrate built-in switching electronics that control the current flow through the LED and which can be easily tuned by the user. This ensures both high light stability and a longer lifetime of the product.

The inner circuitry can be bypassed in order to directly drive the LED. Simply connect the black and blue wires to your power supply instead of the black and brown ones, ensuring that the maximum rates are not exceeded.

LTPRSM series units can be interfaced with any type of optics, but the best results are achieved with bi-telecentric lenses.
The projection area is undistorted since tilting the pattern causes a linear extension along only one direction.

Excellent results can also be obtained with zero distortion macro lenses; here, the magnification changes along both axes, but image resolution and distortion still easily allows 3D reconstruction.

With non bi-telecentric lenses, a square pattern becomes a trapezoid in the projection plane, whose parallel sides are indicated as “w” and “W” in the drawings below.

The projection area shown in the chart are also a good approximation for standard C-mount lenses used as macro lenses (eventually equipped with spacers).

About projection patterns

The projection pattern placed inside the unit can be changed and integrated with ease: just remove the C-mount adaptor by loosening the set-screws and fix the pattern by screwing the retaining ring.

Different types of stripe and grid patterns are available; the chart below shows the line thickness (0.05 mm) and the gap between neighboring lines for each pattern type.

When these features are projected, they become 1/M times larger, with “M” being the magnification of the projection lens. The number of lines mentioned after each part number indicates the number of features on the active area of the pattern.
