MLAS201 3D Sensor

ShapeDrive MLAS 3D Sensors are distinguished by high precision for minimal measuring volumes. The ten models in this series are available in two performance classes with camera resolutions of 5 and 12 megapixels. All ShapeDrive sensors are ideally suited for use in industrial environments thanks to the rugged IP65 housing. With its 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface and five measuring ranges in each performance class, ShapeDrive is also distinguished by great diversity and high speed.
