Sick: ColorRanger E

06-Sep-2010

 

High-speed 3D and color in one camera! 

 

 

ColorRanger E extends the standard Ranger family by providing high-resolution color measurements. It offers full resolution RGB-color with on-chip white balancing and spatial correction for high-quality color images. It is the ideal choice for applications where both 3D shape and color texture matters. ColorRanger E uses laser triangulation to extract the true 3D shape of objects regardless of the objects’ contrast or color. Using MultiScan technology, it can measure a multitude of other object features, such as contrast, laser scatter, and color at the same time. This allows for reliable inspections and cost-efficient solutions since it only takes one ColorRanger E to see it all!

 

Features:

  • High-speed 3D with color up to 11kHz
  • Up to 3072 pixels resolution in color and 1536 pixels in 3D
  • Multi-linear: RGB + Monochrome (w/ + w/o IR)
  • On-chip color channel white balancing
  • Spatially corrected color output
  • Easy in-machine 3D calibration tool
  • High flexibility in configuration, including MultiScan, data triggering, and field-of-view
  • Gigabit Ethernet interface

 

Applications:

  • Size and color-based grading in food processing
  • Shape, content, and baking degree verification of cookies and pastries
  • Pill size and discoloration defect detection (pharmaceutical)
  • Board grading and quality inspection (wood)
  • Solar wafer shape and color quality assurance
  • Fill level and color verification of cosmetics
  • Baking degree and shape check of roof tiles and bricks
  • Verification and quality assurance of assemblies (electronics)

 

Benefits:

  • Using 3D and color imaging in part inspection allows for more reliable results and will improve your system’s up-time and quality
  • ColorRanger with MultiScan technology replaces the need for several different cameras, which reduces the solution cost and complexity
  • Getting all the measurements you need from one camera allows for concise solutions to reduce system size and allow for retrofit
  • Contrast-independent 3D and high quality color gives you reliable measurements to ensure product quality
  • Full flexibility in the field-of-view in combination with an easy in-machine 3D calibration tool gives you dimensions in millimeters wherever you need it
  • Gigabit Ethernet for remote sensing over long cable distances allows you to put your PCs in a safe and convenient place
