Thank you for using Mech-Eye 3D Laser Profiler!

Introduction of Product and Documentation

Mech-Eye 3D Laser Profiler (“laser profiler”) is the 3D laser profiler developed by Mech-Mind. Through Mech-Eye SDK or third-party machine vision software, you can obtain intensity images, depth maps, and point clouds from the laser profiler.

This documentation provides contents including the software user manual of Mech-Eye SDK, hardware user manual of the laser profiler, and troubleshooting guidance.

If you use the full Mech-Mind solution (including the laser profiler hardware, Mech-Eye SDK, Mech-MSR, etc) to perform 3D measurement and inspection, please check out Learning Guidance for 3D Measurement and Inspection instead.

  • If you need to download the PDF hardware user manual and technical specifications, or obtain the 3D models, installation drawings, accessory information, product flyers, etc. of the laser profiler, please visit Mech-Mind Download Center.

  • If you encounter any issue while using the laser profiler, please visit Mech-Mind Online Community to get help (account registration and sign-in required).

Mech-Eye Viewer provides an easy-to-use graphical user interface. You can adjust parameters and check the effects immediately.

The following topic provides instructions on using Mech-Eye Viewer:

api icon Mech-Eye API

Mech-Eye API is the application programming interface of the laser profiler, available in C++, C#, and Python. It is applicable on both Windows and Ubuntu.

Based on Mech-Eye API, you can develop your own laser profiler control program:

Through Mech-Eye API, you can also use third-party machine vision software (such as Cognex VisionPro) to control the laser profiler and obtain data:

genicam icon GenICam Interface

Third-party machine vision software compliant with the GenICam standard (such as HALCON) can control the laser profiler through the GenICam interface, which lowers the difficulty of integration into existing systems.

The following topic provides instructions on using the HALCON samples:
