Seen our exclusive product launch event? We unveiled our latest flagship 3D sensor, building upon the success of our groundbreaking innovation: the MotionCam-3D Color (Blue). 

Following up on our leading MotionCam-3D line-up, this next-generation 3D camera is set to redefine high-throughput applications and solve time-critical automation challenges like never before.

For years, industries have grappled with the limitations of traditional 3D scanning, especially when dealing with tricky materials or high-speed operations. But what if you could achieve a remarkable 50% enhancement in 3D scanning performance? 

With the MotionCam-3D Color (Blue), that’s exactly what we’re delivering.

The Power of Blue: Seeing What Others Can’t

While the stronger blue laser projection unit is a key factor in capabilities of MotionCam-3D Color (Blue), the overall performance boost also comes from numerous other significant component-level improvements

This combination—an advanced blue laser working alongside these upgraded internal components—directly results in superior precision, greater reliability, and higher quality data capture.

As Martin Michalik from our Product Team explained during the launch, “MotionCam-3D Color (Blue) excels where traditional systems falter, significantly improving the scanning of transparent, reflective, and metallic objects with 25% better reconstruction.” 

What does this mean for our customers? 

It means an unprecedented 97% of automotive and logistics items become pickable without pre-sorting, dramatically expanding automation possibilities and eliminating persistent bottlenecks.

Work Faster, Pick More – In Motion

The MotionCam-3D Color (Blue) proudly carries forward Photoneo’s patented parallel structured light technology. This allows for real-time, high-resolution 3D scanning of objects moving at speeds up to 144 km/h / 90 mph without the need to halt production lines. Imagine decreasing cycle times by up to 2 seconds and boosting application throughput by up to 2.5 times compared to static scanning!

Here’s a closer look at the key advantages unveiled with the MotionCam-3D Color (Blue):

• Breakthrough in Transparent & Reflective Objects: Finally, a solution that achieves 25% better reconstruction of materials like shrink wrap, glossy sheets, and plastic wrap.
• Enhanced Long-Distance Scanning: A 50% performance boost means clearer, faster scans at greater distances (e.g., 4m / 13 feet). Large-scale tasks like pallet scanning or car body inspection can see scan durations slashed – for instance, from 1.5 seconds to just 0.7 seconds!
• Best-in-Class RGB 3D Data for AI: Get ready for high-fidelity color point clouds, perfectly primed for AI inference in complex tasks like AI-driven inspection and delayering.
• Superior Performance on Difficult Surfaces: Precisely scan even scorching hot metal objects (exceeding 1000°C / 1832°F) and effectively minimize interreflections on shiny materials.
• Robust Ambient Light Resistance: Our next-gen technology ensures accurate data capture, whether your scene is static or dynamic, even under direct sunlight.
• Simultaneous, Interference-Free Scanning: Operate blue and red laser MotionCam-3D devices together without a hitch. This can cut cycle times by an additional 30% in multi-camera setups.
• Autonomous Maintenance: A single click is all it takes. Our true Autonomous Maintenance, integrated into the software suite, eliminates the need for calibration patterns and manual adjustments, significantly reducing downtime.

Redefining Efficiency Across Industries

Attendees at our launch event witnessed firsthand how the MotionCam-3D Color (Blue) transforms robotic automation. Its enhanced capabilities will bring significant benefits to applications such as:

• Next-Generation Bin Picking: Handle a wider array of items with increased speed and reliability, potentially halving cycle times.
• High-Throughput Depalletization & Conveyor Picking: Accurately capture moving objects at production speed.
• In-Motion Inspection & Quality Control: Conduct detailed checks on the fly, even for hot or reflective parts.
• The Most Accurate Digital Twinning: Create rich, high-fidelity models of dynamic scenes or large objects.
