GELSIGHT MOBILE™ – 3D SURFACE IMAGING SYSTEM

HIGH-RESOLUTION, NON-DESTRUCTIVE 3D IMAGING AND MEASUREMENT

GELSIGHT MOBILE™ is a 3D Surface Imaging System which precisely visualizes and measures the 3D topography of any surface, revealing microscopic structures that are difficult to see under ordinary circumstances. The instrument can be used on any material (Metal, Glass, Carbon Fiber) or any surface (Reflective, Transparent) regardless of its optical properties due to GelSight’s Elastomeric Sensor.

GelSight Mobile™  is used to improve quality control processes in Aerospace, Automotive and many other Industries. GelSight’s proprietary technology provides extremely detailed and rapid surface measurements through an Elastomeric Sensor Technology invented at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology -USA.

GelSight Mobile™ puts high-resolution, non-destructive surface analysis and imaging in the palm of your hand. GelSight Mobile™  offers unique advantages for a wide range of metrology and surface inspection applications. 

GelSight Mobile™ provides advantages no other tactile sensing technology can match.

PRECISION

Delivers repeatable, micron-level 3D data for surface features—more accurate than depth gauge or 2D profilometer.

SPEED

Provides results in seconds for fast decision-making. No time-consuming processes or disassembly of parts required.      

PORTABLE

Ergonomic, easy-to-use, handheld device can be used anywhere—on the factory floor or out in the field.                                         

VERSATILE

Measures any material—metal, glass, carbon fiber, textiles, skin—including reflective, transparent and translucent surfaces.

EASE OF USE

Intuitive touchscreen interface and automatic generation of reports.                                                                                                       

BREAKTHROUGH DIGITAL TOUCH TECHNOLOGY

GelSight’s unique elastomeric sensor technology conforms to the topology of any surface, providing instant 3D visualization and measurement of surface structures at micron level.

HARNESS THE LIMITLESS POTENTIAL OF TACTILE SENSING

Tactile sensing with the sensitivity of human touch. Achieve extreme precision with GelSight’s breakthrough elastomeric tactile sensor technology.

ELASTOMERIC PLATFORM

At the heart of GelSight’s digital touch technology is our proprietary elastomeric platform. It creates a soft, high-resolution, tactile sensor that conforms like human skin to the shape of an object on contact, precisely capturing the topography of the surface.

DIGITAL TOUCH

Data captured by our elastomeric tactile sensing platform is instantly analyzed in our proprietary operating system to provide detailed, 3D information on surface features, regardless of lighting or material reflectivity. The result is accurate surface characterization thanks to GelSight’s Digital Touch technology.

PRECISE

Micron-level precision tactile sensing.

FAST

Real-time surface analysis enables rapid decisions

REPEATABLE

Reduces human error.                                            

TRACEABLE

Enables documentation and audit trail.

VERSATILE

Supports a wide range of applications.

HOW GELSIGHT MOBILE™ WORKS

ELASTOMERIC IMAGING

Elastomeric sensor conforms to the surface topology, revealing detailed features regardless of lighting conditions or reflectivity. Surface detail is displayed in real time.

 

3D MEASUREMENT

A 3D depth map is calculated from images of the surface, providing position, depth and other derived surface measurements at a high resolution.
