Mobile Device for Surface Characterization
Gelsight introduced the new version of its GelSight Mobile probe, the Series 2. The mobile device offers a sleek form-factor that is one-third lighter and less than half the volume of its predecessor, allowing it to scan surfaces in tighter spaces, while maintaining accuracy, speed, and field of view. The technology enables digital tactile sensing with the sensitivity and resolution of human touch. Data captured by the elastomeric tactile sensing platform leverages proprietary software and algorithms to provide detailed, accurate surface characterization. The handheld device can be deployed on production and assembly lines to enable rapid and documented quality assurance decisions.
GelSight Mobile Series 2 Offers Compact and Ergonomic Tactile Measurement
GelSight has introduced the latest version of its GelSight Mobile probe, the Series 2. This new generation of GelSight’s mobile device offers a sleek form-factor that is one-third lighter and less than half the volume of its predecessor, allowing it to scan surfaces in tighter spaces, while maintaining accuracy, speed, and field of view.
GelSight’s technology enables digital tactile sensing with the sensitivity and resolution of human touch. Data captured by GelSight’s elastomeric tactile sensing platform leverages proprietary software and algorithms to provide detailed, accurate surface characterization that can generate significant gains in productivity both on the production floor and in the field while also reducing the costs associated with manual or tool-based visual inspection. The handheld GelSight Mobile device can be deployed on production and assembly lines to enable rapid and well documented quality assurance decisions. Dimensions of scratches, dents, hits, gaps, offset, hole diameter, and fastener flushness can be measured in high-resolution, on any surface, in seconds.
