Advantages

High-tech 3D vision sensors - very simple
SICK's new 3D vision sensor solution, the Ruler3000, is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications and is fast and has high image quality.The 3D vision sensor is based on SICK's CMOS sensors, which are also used in the Ranger3 product family, and offers excellent image pre-processing and reliable measurement results. the Ruler3000 is easy to use and can be easily integrated.The camera has a compact design and is factory calibrated.It has all the necessary comfort features, including a specific geometry for the given field of view.

The high light sensitivity of the Ruler3000 ensures accurate inspection even with dark materials, and the Ruler3020 in particular has a field of view that is ideally suited for use on tire sidewalls.

The Ruler3000 transmits millimeter-accurate information as input data to the robot and guides it quickly and accurately in every dispensing application.

The new Ruler3000 3D vision sensor from SICK is the ideal solution for many application areas in factory automation.

Keeping it simple
The Ruler3000 3D vision sensor is easy to use and simplifies the integration of systems and machines using industry standards such as GigEVision and GenICam or SICK's own GenIStream API.Safe and reliable in every respect: suitable lenses and lasers are already integrated in the sensor.The software can be used for easy configuration.

The Ruler3000 has been factory calibrated and has the right laser and optics in its robust housing.Measurements can be started immediately.

Hassle-free commissioning is ensured by a guaranteed field-of-view solution.The transition from the laboratory to the factory floor can be accomplished quickly.

The included software components Stream Setup and GenIStream API are designed for easy operation.

Complex inspection and measurement tasks are easily accomplished with the Ruler 3000.

Detecting even very small object details with micron-level measurements
Part of the Ruler3000 product family designed for the electronics and semiconductor industries to detect exceptionally small object details at the micron level.Thanks to the different fields of view and the blue or red lasers with laser class 2 or 3R, the cameras provide reliable measurement results even with challenging materials.

With effective measurement and a high resolution of up to 0.8 μm, the Ruler3000 can efficiently detect even tiny object details.

SICK offers the Ruler3000 also with a blue laser of laser class 3R.The camera can therefore be used for high-speed applications and ensures very good image quality even when measuring on shiny surfaces.

High-quality data even in complex applications

With its strong contrast and very different surface reflections, the double exposure function improves image quality - even when alternating between very dark and very strong glossy surfaces in one application.This ensures good image quality on highly reflective, glossy surfaces and surfaces with changing contrast.

Stream Setup configuration software provides easy-to-use tools for image noise reduction and removal of erroneous data.

Ruler3000 provides solutions for reliable results on challenging materials

Surface+: More Than Just Eye-Candy

Surface+ is a new patented technology that provides an extra image dimension, making even very small scratches on smooth surfaces clearly visible.The technology can also be used for gloss measurements on surfaces, for example to detect color or coating defects.

In most industries, standard applications for surface inspection usually require both 3D and 2D data. 3D data is used to measure dimensions and detect indentations and similar irregularities, while 2D data is used to detect small scratches and gloss defects that are visible under certain lighting conditions.

With SICK's new Surface+ technology, only one camera is needed for both tasks.In a single image acquisition, several 2D and 3D images can be acquired.Moreover, the 2D and 3D data are even aligned along the same coordinate system.

This enables Surface+ to be used in a wide range of applications in the consumer goods, automotive and electronics industries as well as in the processing of wood, metal and steel.

Surface+ is included in the scope of delivery of the Ranger3 and Ruler3000 and is used in conjunction with Surface+ alignment to complement high quality 3D data.

Inspecting Battery Foils

Battery production requires high-precision inspections during quality control, and Surface+ technology visualizes defects that are invisible to the naked eye, such as small scratches and indentations.Even light fingerprints are clearly visible!

Inspecting tiles
The visual inspection of tiles is a key process to guarantee the quality of each tile.It is essential to ensure that each tile complies with applicable standards while inspecting and eliminating defects. surface+ technology reliably detects defects such as fine scratches on glossy surfaces as well as other imperfections such as dents.

Inspection of panels
Sensitive panels for furniture and flooring production not only need to be produced at high speeds, but also have to be of a quality that meets the requirements of the end user. Surface+ technology makes it easy to detect small scratches or indentations, even on glossy and lacquered surfaces.

A new standard for high-speed 3D
As the demand for faster manufacturing processes, more accurate quality inspections and shorter delivery times continues to increase, every part of the process must evolve in tandem. SICK's new 3D streaming camera technology is at the cutting edge and creates new possibilities for machine builders and system integrators in a wide range of industrial applications in the field of industrial image processing.
