Powered by an innovative blue laser, the camera offers superior precision, reliability, and comprehensive data capture, transforming complex vision-guided automation, particularly for challenging materials and high-speed vision-guided robotics (VGR) applications. Building on the success of the world's only 3D camera capable of scanning in motion, the MotionCam-3D Color (Blue) tackles long-standing automation hurdles.

"MotionCam-3D Color (Blue) excels where traditional systems falter, significantly improving the scanning of transparent, reflective, and metallic objects with 25% better reconstruction," says Martin Michalik from Photoneo Product Team, "This advancement makes an unprecedented 97% of logistics items pickable without pre-sorting, dramatically expanding automation possibilities and eliminating bottlenecks."

The camera retains Photoneo's patented parallel structured light technology, enabling real-time, high-resolution 3D scanning of objects moving up to 40 m/s without halting production lines. This capability can decrease cycle times by up to 2 seconds and increase application throughput up to 2.5 times compared to static scanning methods.

The MotionCam-3D Color (Blue)'s powerful blue laser technology unlocks several key advantages:

● Breakthrough in Transparent & Reflective Objects: Achieves 25% better reconstruction of challenging materials like shrink wrap, glossy sheets, medical containers, and plastic wrap, making 97% of logistics objects pickable.
● Enhanced Long-Distance Scanning: A 50% performance boost, thanks to a stronger projection unit and improved signal-to-noise ratio, enables clearer, faster scans at greater distances (e.g., 4m / 13 feet). This is ideal for large-scale applications like pallet scanning, car body inspection, and demanding tasks, cutting scan durations significantly (e.g., from 1.5s to just 0.7s).
● Best-in-Class RGB 3D Data for AI: Provides high-fidelity color point clouds ready for AI inference, perfect for complex tasks like AI-driven inspection, delayering, and digital twinning.
● Superior Performance on Difficult Surfaces: Precisely scans even hot metal objects exceeding 1200°C (2200°F) and minimizes interreflections on shiny materials.
● Robust Ambient Light Resistance: Next-generation technology ensures accurate data capture in both static and dynamic scenes, even in challenging lighting conditions including direct sunlight.
● Simultaneous, Interference-Free Scanning: Enables the simultaneous operation of blue and red laser MotionCam-3D devices without interference. This advanced capability can cut cycle times by 30% in multi-camera setups, boosting data capture rates and completeness for demanding bin picking and digital twinning applications.
● Autonomous Maintenance: Features true Autonomous Maintenance integrated into the software suite. Users can effortlessly auto-maintain the device with a single click, eliminating the need for calibration patterns and manual adjustments, reducing downtime.

The MotionCam-3D Color (Blue) is poised to redefine efficiency and capability in robotic automation. Its enhanced capabilities significantly benefit applications such as:


● Next-Generation Bin Picking: Handling a wider range of items faster and more reliably, potentially halving cycle times.
● High-Throughput Depalletization & Conveyor Picking: Capturing moving objects accurately at speed.
● In-Motion Inspection & Quality Control: Performing detailed checks on moving production lines, including hot or reflective parts.
● Accurate Digital Twinning: Creating high-fidelity models of dynamic scenes or large objects like vehicles or logs.
