About SmartRay
SmartRay develops compact laser-triangulation sensors for three-dimensional inspection, metrology and robot guidance. ECCO sensors project a laser line across a moving surface and convert the reflected profile into calibrated height data and point clouds. The range provides as many as 4,096 points per profile and sub-micrometre vertical resolution in selected configurations, with dual-head models reducing occlusions around complex parts.
JOSY combines SmartRay sensors, configurable software and integration services into a turnkey joining-inspection system. It scans welds and adhesive seams inline, measures geometry, identifies pores and other defects, and stores objective inspection results for traceability and process control. Compact MICO hardware can follow the reach envelope of a welding torch, while the wider ECCO family handles electronics, glass, formed metal and electric-vehicle battery components. SmartRay evaluates parts, builds and tests the application, commissions it at the plant and provides after-sales support.
Timeline
Events
- 2026-06-24 - Product Launch - SmartRay launches ECCO X 050 and ECCO X 200 sensors
Both models support scan rates up to 40 kHz, profiles of up to 4,096 points and throughput of up to 163 million 3D points per second. ECCO X 050 uses a 450 nm blue laser and targets confined inspection tasks including connector pins and electronics housings. The IP67-rated ECCO X 200 uses a 660 nm laser for larger fields of view, including battery interconnect and weld-seam inspection.
Source - 2026-03-25 - Product Launch - ECCO X 050G extends 3D scanning to glass and reflective surfaces
The sensor delivers 4,096 points per profile at scan rates up to 40 kHz and as many as 163 million points per second. Its 450 nm blue laser and G-series optics target glass, lenses, semiconductors, windscreens and other specular parts. The model provides a 15 millimetre measurement range in a 1.2 kilogram industrial package.
Source - 2026-01-13 - Capability - JOSY AI update cuts weld-inspection setup time by 80%
Zero-shot border detection adapts to new components without retraining for each weld seam. When seam positions change, JOSY automatically adjusts inspection and analysis parameters rather than requiring manual sensor adjustment. Operators receive results for five key weld characteristics from the first captured part.

The live system combines JOSY hardware with Tool Path Generation software developed with Wandelbots and Grid Dynamics. The workflow generates inspection paths from CAD and provides feasibility checks and cycle-time estimates before commissioning. The demonstration is hosted at EY's Skyloop industrial AI hub in Stuttgart for hands-on visits.

Two symmetrically positioned camera heads preserve visibility where raised geometry would shadow a single camera. The sensor supports scan rates up to 40 kHz and 4,096 3D points per profile. Target applications include battery trays, wire bonding, BGA and printed-circuit-board inspection.
