LMI Gocator 2400 Series Ultra High-Resolution 3D Laser Line Profile Sensors

The ultra high-resolution Gocator family for electronics, medical, tire, rail, and battery inspection. Six optical models, X resolution down to 6 microns, Z repeatability down to 0.2 microns, and a dual red/blue laser portfolio that solves dark and shiny material problems other line profilers cannot.

The Gocator 2400 Series is LMI Technologies' ultra high-resolution 3D laser line profiler family, engineered around a 2 megapixel imager and a next-generation processor that delivers double the scan rate of the 2300 Series at equivalent window sizes. Six models cover the full spectrum from micron-level small-part inspection (Gocator 2410, 5.8 micron X resolution) to large-target box volume gauging (Gocator 2490, 2 meter field of view). The 2400 Series introduces dual laser wavelength availability - red 660 nm for general-purpose applications and blue 405 nm for dark, shiny, and outdoor-light-resistant scanning - making it the only Gocator family with both wavelengths in a single product line.

Gocator 2400 Series Model Comparison

The 2400 Series is the most diverse Gocator line profiler family - six distinct optical models with different data points per profile, different laser wavelengths, and dramatically different working envelopes. Match the model to the part size, target material, and inspection environment.

Specifications based on recommended laser classes. Linearity Z, Resolution Z, and Repeatability Z may vary by laser class. Scan rate from 200 Hz up to 5 kHz across the family. Optical models, laser classes, and packages can be customized - contact Automation Distribution for details. Refer to the official Gocator 2400 Series datasheet for full specifications.

Red Laser vs Blue Laser: Which Wavelength Do I Need?

The Gocator 2400 Series is the only Gocator line profiler family available in both red 660 nm and blue 405 nm laser configurations. The wavelength is the most important application decision after choosing the optical model.

How to Choose Your Model and Part Number

Each Gocator 2400 Series model targets a specific working envelope and inspection use case. The 2410 and 2420 are blue-laser only (built for the smallest, finest features). The 2430 and 2440 are the most flexible - available in both red and blue with all three laser class options. The 2450 is blue-only for shiny and outdoor applications. The 2490 is red-only for large-target scanning where micron-level resolution is not the priority.

All 2400 Series models except the 2490 are supplied in Side Mount orientation. The Gocator 2490 is supplied in Top Mount orientation. Custom mount configurations are available on request.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Gocator 2400 Series used for?

The Gocator 2400 Series is LMI Technologies' ultra high-resolution 3D laser line profiler family, deployed across tire and rubber inspection, EV battery manufacturing, electronics and medical device QA, rail geometry measurement, packaging and logistics box volume gauging, and automotive weld profiling. Six optical models span the range from sub-6-micron X resolution (Gocator 2410) to 2-meter field of view (Gocator 2490). View the Gocator 2400 Series at Automation Distribution.

When should I choose a blue laser Gocator instead of red?

Blue 405 nm laser is the right choice when the target surface is dark, absorptive, shiny, or when the sensor will be deployed in ambient sunlight. Specifically: tire tread and sidewalls, dark rubber, gold-plated electronics, polished metals, train rails, EV battery foil, and outdoor or daylight-exposed applications. Blue light scatters more diffusely from these surfaces than red, producing usable profile data where red lasers fail. Red 660 nm is the lower-cost choice for general-purpose matte and diffusely-reflective surfaces.

What is the difference between Gocator 2300 and Gocator 2400?

The 2400 Series uses a 2 megapixel imager and a new processor that delivers approximately double the scan rate of the Gocator 2300 Series at equivalent window sizes. The 2400 also delivers significantly higher X resolution (down to 5.8 microns on the 2410 versus 14 microns on the 2320), is the only Gocator family available in both red and blue laser wavelengths, and adds the 2 meter FOV 2490 model for large-target scanning. The 2300 Series remains the right choice for general-purpose high-volume inspection where the 2400's ultra high resolution and dual-wavelength options are not required.

Which Gocator 2400 model has the highest resolution?

The Gocator 2410 delivers the highest X resolution in the entire Gocator portfolio at 5.8 to 6.2 microns, paired with 0.2 micron Z repeatability. The 2420 has the best linearity Z in the family at 0.006 percent of measurement range. Both are blue 405 nm Class 3R laser sensors and are the standard choice for the smallest, finest features in electronics, medical device, and semiconductor applications.

Can I use the Gocator 2400 outdoors or in sunlight?

Yes, with the blue laser variants. The 405 nm blue laser is resistant to ambient sunlight interference, enabling outdoor and daylight applications. The Gocator 2450 specifically is recommended for rail geometry inspection where it produces clean 3D rail data even in full sunlight and on wet track ballast. The 2410, 2420, 2430 (blue), 2440 (blue), and 2450 all use blue lasers. Red laser models (2430 red, 2440 red, 2490) require controlled indoor lighting.

How fast does the Gocator 2400 scan?

Scan rates run from 200 Hz up to 5 kHz depending on the model and configuration. At equivalent window sizes, the 2400 Series delivers approximately double the scan rate of the 2300 Series thanks to the new processor and imager. Tighter measurement ranges and reduced regions of interest yield the higher rates.

What laser classes are available on the Gocator 2400 Series?

Class options vary by model. The 2410 and 2420 are Class 3R only. The 2430, 2440, and 2450 offer Class 2, Class 3R, and Class 3B options. The 2490 offers Class 2 and Class 3R. Class 3B requires more rigorous laser safety controls including remote interlocks, key controls, and beam attenuators. Contact Automation Distribution at 1-888-600-3080 for application-specific recommendations.

Can I network multiple Gocator 2400 sensors together?

Yes. LMI Master network controllers (Master 100, 400, 800, 1200, and 2400) support 4, 8, 12, or 24 Gocator connections with synchronized power, laser safety, encoder input, and external trigger distribution. Multi-sensor configurations enable wider target coverage, multi-side simultaneous scanning, and 360-degree inspection stations - particularly useful for full-tire and full-rail measurement applications.
