The API Dynamic 9D LADAR is a breakthrough non-contact measurement system that combines high-speed scanning with micron-level precision using patented Optical Frequency Chirping Interferometry (OFCI) technology. It captures detailed surface geometry and dimensional data simultaneously—delivering dense, accurate 3D point clouds even at challenging angles.
Compact, rugged, and built for automation, the system integrates easily with robots, gantries, or CMM frames for in-line inspection and automated quality control. With real-time visualization, RGB data capture, and exceptional performance at speed, the 9D LADAR enables advanced metrology workflows without slowing production.
The 9D LADAR is designed for industries and professionals who require high-precision, non-contact measurements in real-time. It’s beneficial in quality control, inspection, and manufacturing processes that need to capture both dimensional and surface geometry data rapidly and accurately.
DYNAMIC 9D LADAR provides micron-level resolution while eliminating issues associated with surface reflectivity, slow data acquisition speeds, limited accuracies, restrictive incident angles, and susceptibility to production environment noise. Laser Radar systems require large sample averaging to obtain reasonable accuracy, effectively slowing data rates. API’s OFCI technology uses fast laser chirping to generate a wide spectrum for optical interference. The interference signal detected yields 100x higher sensitivity than Laser Radar
API’s 9D LADAR is pivotal in sectors like Aerospace, Automotive, and Energy, Heavy Machinery, Manufacturing, Military & Defense, Transportation, Machine Tools, and Robotics where precision is crucial for safety and efficiency.
