Ranger3 from Sick is a 3D vision streaming camera that can process up to 15.4 gigapixels/s thanks to 'ROCC' (Rapid-On-Chip-Calculations) technology and enables full-frame 3D imaging (2560 x 832 pixels) at 7 kHz. The measurement of the 3D data of objects is independent of colors, contrasts, the optical appearance of surfaces or the ambient brightness. The camera transmits the measurement data to an external PC via Gigabit Ethernet and uses the GenICam and GigE Vision standards. This allows the camera to be integrated directly into image processing packages such as 'Halcon'. The 55 mm x 55 mm x 77 mm 3D vision camera can be configured in various application-specific set-ups using interchangeable sensor components. In contrast to 3D vision solutions with FPGA processors or external frame grabbers, 'Ranger3' uses ROCC technology to process 3D data directly in the sensor: The CMOS sensor takes over the conversion of the captured 2D laser line on the object into its exact 3D profile representation. Complex post-processing is avoided.
