All manuals

Every app, every tool, every camera – with installation, configuration, interfaces and examples.

Core components

The foundation of every LumiScan application: camera connection, common interface and live view.

  • LumiScan Keryx
    Addresses, handshake, execute and stream calls, status codes – what all LumiScan apps have in common.

  • LumiScan Cam Driver
    Connects GenICam cameras to ctrlX OS or a PC and publishes images and camera functions on the Data Layer.

  • LumiScan Cockpit
    Live view of the images and results of all vision apps – in the browser on ctrlX OS, in its own window on a PC.

3D vision-guided robotics

Robots that see: bin picking, machine tending and automated assembly.

  • LumiScan VGR
    3D vision-guided robotics for bin picking and automated assembly.

  • LumiScan File Transfer
    Exchanges annotated images and trained models between the production system and the training computer.

Object detection

Find, match and locate parts – with templates, shapes or neural networks.

Reading codes and text

Traceability on the part: read codes and plain text reliably.

Processing

From pixel to robot coordinate.

  • LumiScan Calibration
    Converts 2D image coordinates into 3D coordinates on a calibrated plane, e.g. for picking and placing.

Engineering software

Teach your own objects and configure applications step by step – without writing vision code.

3D vision hardware and licensing

The light-field camera and everything about licences.

  • LumiScan X
    The 3D light-field camera: hardware, safe installation and use, and the software that comes with it.

  • LumiScan Licensing
    LumiScan Key, CodeMeter Runtime, licence updates and ctrlX licences for all products.
