Sick: ColorRanger E

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!
