Simultaneous 3D and grey scale profiles at high speed

15 Mar 2005

The MultiScan Ranger C camera from SICK-IVP, can acquire 3D shape, and intensity data such as grey scale, gloss, surface defect and laser scatter measurements simultaneously from one single camera. Using SICK-IVP's unique and patented sensor technology the speed and performance are extremely high.

Good image structure based on cleverly arranged illumination is often the key to a successful machine vision solution. With a line of laser light projected across an object at an angle other than that of the camera, accurate height measurements can be made. High resolution grey scale detection using a halved pixel pitch line of sensors produces sharp images permitting very small defects to be detected. Laser scatter measurements permit the inspection of a wide variety of products ranging from knot detection in wood to fruit and vegetable quality control. Gloss measurements can be used for the detection of surface defects in shiny materials such as tiles and polished parts.

The patented Smart Vision Sensor is at the core of the system, flexible windowing and integration control together with on-chip processing are key principals of the MultiScan technology. Each feature image is acquired on individual areas of the sensor, after A to D conversion data is passed to the PC memory via CameraLink.

The examples described here are just a few of the possible applications, imagination is all that is needed to provide solutions to many more inspection and measurement tasks.
