Product Description
Model Description: AZ1D4SB - Zebra AltiZ 3D profile sensor with a near FoV of 55 mm, range of 70 mm, far FoV of 75 mm, and blue (405 nm) laser
Matrox® AltiZ (1) is a series of high-fidelity 3D profile sensors. Each sensor features a dual-camera single-laser design that greatly lessens the scanning gaps often encountered at critical surface junctures because of optical occlusions.
- Leverage dual-camera single-laser design to deliver exceptionally high 3D reproduction fidelity.
- Scan scenes quickly with profiling rates of up to 11,000 per second
- Gain from unique embedded algorithms to generate consistent profiles, depth maps, or point clouds.
- Benefit from truly standard GigE Vision® interface to work directly with Matrox Imaging and third-party vision software.
- Simplify cabling with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) support.
High-fidelity 3D scanning
Zebra® AltiZ1 is a series of high-fidelity 3D profile sensors. Each sensor features a dual-camera single-laser design that greatly lessens the scanning gaps often encountered at critical surface junctures because of optical occlusions. Unique algorithms running inside the sensor automatically generate various types of reliable 3D data—individual profiles, depth maps, or point clouds— obtained by smartly combining or selecting the pixel data from the two integrated image sensors, which is automatically sampled for a constant horizontal resolution.

Standard interface, discrete I/Os, and power
The command and data interface of a Zebra AltiZ is done via a Gigabit Ethernet port with the GigE Vision communication protocol. The sensors’ 24 V-compatible digital I/Os are present for connecting to an incremental encoder and synchronizing multiple 3D sensors, which is useful when there is need to scan different sides of an object or surfaces larger than can be covered by a single 3D sensor. Zebra AltiZ supports PoE for simpler cabling but also features an alternate 24 V power input. Available as a separate accessory, the Zebra I/O Breakout Box simplifies the connection of a Zebra AltiZ by giving convenient access to the digital I/Os through terminal blocks. The I/O breakout box comes with push buttons and switches for testing connections; it can also power one Zebra AltiZ if PoE is unavailable and be mounted on a standard DIN rail. This accessory is also included in the Zebra AltiZ starter kit, a bundle of all the accessories needed to get going quickly with the Zebra AltiZ.
Solid construction and varied mounting
Zebra AltiZ features a sturdy IP67-rated2 aluminum housing with M12 connectors that make it perfectly suited for harsh industrial environments. Isolated discrete I/Os provide protection against improper electrical hookup. Back, side, and top attachment points accepting M4-threaded screws are available for fixing a Zebra AltiZ to gantries and robots. Through-hole guides are also included to enable higher-accuracy installation and the alignment of neighboring Zebra AltiZ units.
Field-proven application development software
Zebra AltiZ pairs well with Aurora Imaging Library, formerly Matrox Imaging Library (MIL)—a comprehensive software development kit (SDK) for Windows and Linux with a more than 25-year history of reliable performance. This toolkit features interactive software and programming functions for image capture, processing, analysis, display, and archiving. Refer to the Aurora Imaging Library datasheet for more information. The 3D sensors also work with Aurora Design Assistant, formerly Matrox Design Assistant (DA) a Windows-based integrated development environment (IDE) based on Aurora Image Library, where vision applications result from the construction of flowcharts and their human-machine interface (HMI) from the creation of web pages. Refer to the Aurora Design Assistant datasheet for more information.
Interactive profiler setup
Included in Aurora Image Library and Aurora Design Assistant is Aurora Capture Works, an interactive utility for Windows and Linux that enables users to conveniently verify the connection to, as well as configure and test acquisition from, cameras and devices using a GenICam™ -based interface standard such as Zebra AltiZ. Aurora Capture Works contains views specific to the Zebra AltiZ for tuning peak (laser line) extraction, configuring the scanning volume, and setting up device triggering.
