Z-Trak Express

Introducing the Z-Trak™ Express 1K5 3D Laser Profiler

The Z-Trak™ Express 1K5 series represents the latest innovation in 3D measurement and inspection technology from Teledyne DALSA. Engineered for cost-effective, in-line 3D measurement, the Z-Trak Xpress 1K5 sets a new standard with its high-speed inspection capabilities and real-time processing. Achieving a maximum profile rate of 5,000 profiles per second across at full measurement range, the Z-Trak Express 1K5 is perfectly suited for various industries, including:

• Secondary battery production
• Automotive
• Lumber inspection
• Factory automation
• Logistics

Unmatched Simplicity and Value

Featuring a 1,700mm horizontal field-of-view, the Z-Trak Express 1K5 model enables precise measurement and inspection of wide-body objects such as wooden planks, road surfaces, pallets, and automotive body parts, using a single sensor. It supports the integration of multiple sensors in various topologies, allowing for advanced measurement tasks such as:

• Measuring the thickness of moving parts
• Performing continuous 360° inspections
• Extending the horizontal field-of-view without compromising Z-resolution

To simplify deployment and reduce costs, the Z-Trak Express 1K5 synchronizes multiple sensors via the data cables and supports content-based triggering for enhanced flexibility.

Ready for Deployment

All Z-Trak profilers deliver micrometer-level measurements without the need for in-field calibration. The Z-Trak Express 1K5 accommodates a wide range of objects, regardless of size, shape, color, finish, or material composition. Key features include:

• Real-time, user-programmable profile enhancement functions
• Two-point HDR
• Models with eye-safe red or blue lasers

Like all Z-Trak laser profilers, the Z-Trak Express 1K5 performs on-board processing without compromising the profile rate.
