Intensity data enhances 3D navigation and allows the sensor to check for object rotation or the presence of a label or printed pattern.

The TriSpector1000 is especially suited for solving quality-control applications in the packaging industry and can be used for volume and thickness measurement and inspection of box integrity, including content verification, completeness, and emptiness checks. The TriSpector1000 also features IP 67 metal housing with plastic windows durable enough to withstand harsh food processing environments.
