Find the perfect 3D sensor for your application in minutes.

We created a new Sensor Selector to instantly match you with the right device across our three line-ups.
How it works:

๐Ÿ”น Enter your object dimensions and scanning distance
๐Ÿ”น Filter by RGB color output, scanning in motion, or high resolution
๐Ÿ”น Choose between blue and red laser, or combine both
๐Ÿ”น Compare field-of-view simulations and specs

450 pieces per hour, 20kg each. Zero human lifting?

Yes, if the robot has the right eyes ๐Ÿ‘€

Working with Rebl Industries AB, we helped a global retailer automate one of their toughest stations.
By combining Rebl's AI stacking with our MotionCam-3D and Zebra Technologies barcode scanners, the system identifies, measures and picks parcels of any size without hitting the "pause" button on the conveyor.

Heavy parts - short cycle times. A classic automation challenge, solved โœ…

Picking 15 kg cast iron brake discs piled randomly in a bin is a tough job for a human, and an even tougher one to automate.

For Fonderia di Torbole S.r.l. this was the bottleneck in full automation of brake discs handling. Integrator Tiesse Robot S.p.a. (hturned to Photoneo 3D vision for a solution that could deliver both speed and reliability.

Our PhoXi 3D Scanner XL, paired with the intelligence of Bin Picking Studio, now guides a Kawasaki Robotics robot to flawlessly execute the task with a cycle time under 45 seconds. The system handles everything - from finding the part to planning a collision-free path.

The result?

๐Ÿ“ Accurately identified and located heavy, metallic parts in any orientation.
๐Ÿ“ Calculated collision-free paths to grip and extract discs from a cluttered bin.
๐Ÿง  Intelligent flipping of upside-down parts to ensure correct orientation for the next stage.
โณA cycle time required to keep the entire production line moving.

Thanks to our strong collaboration with our local distributor, Basler Italy, Photoneo could bring the power of 3D vision to this application ๐Ÿฆพ

How do you make a robot flexible enough to pick something it has never seen before? ๐Ÿค–

At Automate Show 2026, our Global Sales & Marketing Leader, Daniel Otto, sat down with Jake Hall to talk about the shift from a known part in a known position to an unknown part in an unknown position.

A few takeaways from the conversation:

๐Ÿ”น Flexibility is the nr. 1 challenge in logistics, and AI is the answer. Our neural network can be trained to recognize hundreds of thousands of different boxes, totes, and items.

๐Ÿ”น One portfolio, any scene: static, moving, or camera-on-robot. From MotionCam-3D scanning at up to 40 m/s (no need to stop the conveyor) to red- and blue-laser scanners for shiny and transparent parts.

๐Ÿ”น Beyond coordinates: path planning and collision avoidance built in, so the robot moves exactly the way our software calculates.

And now, as part of Zebra Technologies integrators get 2D and 3D machine vision from a single one-stop shop.

"One of the most important features with OmniCore EyeMotion is that it is hardware-agnostic. That means based on the customer's need, they can choose 2D camera or a very sophisticated 3D vision system, such as we have here from Zebra Photoneo."
โ€” Andrea Cassoni, Global Head of Collaborative Robotics and Ecosystem Partnerships Development at ABB Robotics.

During the recent LinkedIn Live event hosted by Jake Hall, the new POWA cobot family was unveiled, showcasing its ability to bring industrial speed to collaborative environments. For robotics system integrators, the integration with the OmniCore EyeMotion platform offers significant flexibility in selecting the right vision technology for complex tasks.

We are proud to see our PhoXi 3D Scanner Gen3 featured as part of this ecosystem, supporting advanced applications like 3D bin picking with collision-free path planning.

The future of collaborative robotics is definitely STRONGER, FASTER, and READY FOR MORE! ๐Ÿค–โœจ ๐Ÿ‘‰ Thank you so much - Andrea Cassoni Erika D'Antonio Mattia Marconi Gloria Farinella!

PhoXi Control 1.17 replaces the numeric Region of Interest configuration workflow with a fully interactive 3D bounding box in the viewer.

1๏ธโƒฃ Drag it to fit your scene.
2๏ธโƒฃ See the result immediately.
3๏ธโƒฃ Move on.

If you've spent time iterating through X/Y/Z coordinate fields and re-scanning to verify, you'll notice the difference on the first commissioning task.

The ROI acts as a post-acquisition filter.

So now you can quickly and accurately define exactly which part of the scene your pipeline actually needs to process, saving time and resources in your downstreaming pipeline.

Less time configuring. Faster path to reliable data. Every deployment.

That's the problem Settings Assistant was built to solve. And Settings Assistant 1.1 Results now sorted by scanning time makes it faster.

Updates that matter:

- Results are now sorted by scanning time. The performance trade-off is visible immediately, no mental bookkeeping required.

- Scanning time and valid point count are shown inline on every result tile. The two numbers that drive most configuration decisions, right there at a glance.

- Full parameter coverage for current-generation Photoneo hardware. If you're running newer devices and found the assistant feeling incomplete, that's fixed.

Ever needed to scan beyond the standard calibrated volume? ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ‘€

PhoXi 3D Scanner Gen3 is already a powerhouse for complex 3D tasks, giving you incredibly detailed point clouds across multiple materials.

โœ… 5.1 Megapixel camera with improved HDR
โœ… Built-in 8MP RGB camera
โœ… Blue Laser technology
โœ… Auto Maintenance tool

But how can you push these new capabilities even further?

In this quick video, Tomas Michalik shares a simple hack to easily extend your camera's calibrated volume so you can scan much further into the scene.

Instead of relying on a single scan, our vision system takes a simultaneous multi-view approach.

๐Ÿ”ด๐Ÿ”ต Using both Red and Blue Laser 3D sensors, we capture the bin from multiple perspectives at once.

What does this mean in practice?

- Faster cycle times: We're seeing scanning cycle times about twice as fast.

- Better data: The scans are 50% more complete, which helps the robot avoid mispicks.

- No interference: Using two different colored lasers means that their wavelengths don't get in each other's way.

- High precision: It all works with sub-millimeter accuracy.
