SICK 3D Camera Has Stainless-Steel Housing
SICK has extended the 3D-imaging capabilities of its IVC-3D smart camera to harsh environments, such as the food and beverage industry, with the launch of the IVC-3D Stainless Steel. The robust IVC-3D Stainless Steel uses 3D imaging to ensure that high-speed production processes run smoothly, through precise shape and volume measurements, with instant evaluation and response. This solution combines imaging, lighting and analysis in a single stainless-steel housing that has been rated to IP 67, making it suitable for use in hygienic processes. The IVC-3D Stainless Steel has also been Ecolab certified, ensuring resistance to aggressive cleaning agents and disinfectants. The third dimension is created by triangulation and a 3D image is produced as the object moves under a laser bream. The camera is easily configured via a PC, using the IVC Studio user interface. An emulator allows users to work offline and test applications on batches of stored images. Once the application is set up, the...
