FocalSpec Inc., a supplier of Line Confocal Imaging (LCI) sensors and LCI-based 3D Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) and Automated Optical Measurement (AOM) systems to the electronics industry, is pleased to announce the formal North American launch of its new 3D Line Confocal Imaging Scanner.

The new scanner is automatic and can be used in on-line, at line and laboratory applications on electronic and printed components, PCBs, assemblies, microdispensing, casings and other objects. It enables high-precision microtopographic 3D measurement of hard-to-measure surfaces where traditional technologies, such as lasers, do not perform satisfactorily.

"In addition to typical 3D measurement applications, our new scanner can also measure glossy, curved, slanted, high-contrast and transparent parts at sub-micron resolution," said Juha Saily, sales manager for FocalSpec. "I'm excited that a newcomer like us is in a leading position to offer new technology that allows manufacturers to automatically scan materials and surfaces that have previously been unmeasurable."

The launch of the Line Confocal Scanner coincides with FocalSpec exhibiting at IPC APEX EXPO 2016 in Las Vegas, March 15–17. The company and its scanner can be found at Booth 1559.
