A 3D camera and line-scan colour camera all in one

26 August 2010

The ColorRanger E from SICK (UK) offers the functionality of both a 3D and a line-scan colour camera, to provide two modes of quality inspection within a single unit. The new camera can measure colour, shape, contrast, volume and height, and provides high-resolution RGB colour up to 3,072 pixels per channel. Using MultiSCan technology the camera can deliver simultaneous 3D colour information at more than 11kHz.

Multiple inspections can be performed in parallel, at full production speed, reducing the need for multiple cameras. This can save investment, maintenance and labour costs, as well as time, and makes it easier to combine data for analysis.

The ColorRanger E delivers high-quality 3D and multi-linear colour data, including RGB, near-IR, IR and monochrome without IT content, on a gigabit Ethernet communication interface for remote quality monitoring.
