The leading supplier of cutting edge technology

Smart Cameras

SICK|IVP Integrated Vision Products supplies sensor systems for high-speed 3D machine vision. Since its conception in 1985 SICK|IVP's extraordinary systems of automated visual inspection have been awarded patents throughout the world.

Thanks to its staff of outstanding engineering and programming specialists an entire family of “smart cameras” have been transforming industrial processes.

In June 2003, SICK|IVP became subsidiary to the multinational German corporation SICK AG.

3D Profiling

3D Profiling

Ranger C

The Ranger C camera measures 3D features at unmatched speeds producing a complete data set of the object measured. Providing a 3rd dimension adds height and shape measurement data, which can be critical when correctly classifying an object.

  • High Performance and flexibility are the keywords for the Ranger. It is capable of acquiring 20,000 3D profiles per second. Each profile contains up to 1536 high quality 3D co-ordinates; that is more than 30 million points per second!
  • A small and robust camera unit, which is the solution to any 3D inspection task. It incorporates a powerful C/C++ interface for optimal solutions.
  • The camera handles the image processing and the ready-to-use 3D coordinates are sent directly to a standard PC via Cameralink. This eliminates the need for expensive post processors or high-speed frame grabbers.

IVP Ruler

  • IVP Ruler is the solution for demanding 3D applications in any production line. It is designed to measure anything from logs in a sawmill to cars in the automotive Industry. IVP Ruler is intended for tough environment with a shield level of IP65.
  • IVP Ruler contains a laser and Image sensor assembled in fixed positions. It is calibrated before delivery to give you high quality 3D data. Can acquire 2000 profiles per second with a profile width of 512 measuring points.
  • Active X technology gives you short development time and a cost effective solution.

Navitar design and manufacture a large range of Machine Vision products. As a result of the ever increasing demand for automated optical inspection (AOI), they have introduced a line of Easy Reader Auto Focus zoom systems. These systems automatically adjust focus using Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology.

  • High magnification, long working distance auto focus design.
  • Very fast auto focus adjustment (less than 0.5 seconds).
  • Ideal for imaging objects with varying feature heights.
  • Built-in optical zoom varies from 5.5X up to 14X.
  • Operational with only ambient light.
  • Extremely reliable and durable in demanding factory environments.
  • High magnification infinity corrected objectives can be integrated.
  • RS-232 computer controllable.
  • Coaxial illumination available with high magnification system.
  • Low cost.
  • Compact Easy Reader AF Systems, High Magnification AF models and custom units available.
