ColorRanger E: High-speed 3D and color in one camera

Quality inspection and grading based on both 3D shape and color

Get more out of your inspections

The ColorRanger provides you with more information about inspected parts than ever before. Knowing not only the 3D shape and the contrast of parts, but also their colors, will help you make even more reliable decisions and improve your production quality.

Let one camera do the job of many

In the past, it took several different cameras to get to the final decision. With the ColorRanger and SICK’s propri-etary MultiScan technology, you will now get it all from one single camera. This will save you hardware cost as well as integration cost since all feature images come from the same camera system, which makes them easier to combine for analysis.

Extensive functionality and flexibility

ColorRanger combines the functionalities of a 3D camera and a line-scan color camera. In addition to the 3D and MultiScan sensor, it has dedicated sensor rows for both color and monochrome measurements at up to 3,072 pixel resolution. With the flexible MultiScan technology, the camera can be configured to your exact needs includ-ing simultaneous 3D, laser scatter, color and monochrome measurements. To facilitate your integration, ColorRanger comes with functionality for on-chip white balancing and compensation of misregistration for well aligned color images. Moreover, to ensure that the different light sources for color and 3D do not interfere, there is an IR-filter option for spectral separation of light sources.

With increasing requirements for both product quality and production optimization such as throughput, up-time, and cost reduction, it is becoming necessary to consider more aspects of the parts produced. For instance, 3D information such as height or volume can be used to minimize packaging problems, reject faulty parts, and to reduce waste; contrast images to detect print errors and surface defects; and color data to perform esthetic

grading or overall quality assurance of the parts or the assembly.In many cases, the 3D, contrast, and color information of the parts are needed at the same time in the produc-tion line to allow for correct decisions. With the unique capabilities of the ColorRanger, all these aspects can be measured in parallel, enabling concise solutions to opti-mize production.

multiScan technologySICK’s MultiScan technology combines the benefits of 2D and 3D imaging in one single camera. It allows for a multitude of simultaneous measurements that can be configured to the exact needs of a certain application. Ranger MultiScan comes with different measurement components for 3D, RGB color, contrast, and laser scatter to choose from. For each component, there should be a light source that provides the appropriate light characteristics.

The components can be combined in any way, for instance having two 3D components to remedy occlusion and several contrast components to measure gloss and contrast in several separate wavelengths. Each instance of a component has its own and independent set of parameters, including, exposure-time, gain, thresholds, and binning. Due to this, each component can be tuned independently from the others to provide optimal image quality.

A MultiScan configuration is defined in a readable XML-file where all the desired measurement components are added. By uploading this file, the Ranger will configure itself and dedicate one region of the sensor to each of the listed components. It is now ready to provide specific measurement data from each of the components in a multiple line-scan fashion.

With the flexibility of MultiScan, the Ranger can be adapted to a wide range of applications by simply editing the configuration file. Up to ten different object properties can be measured in parallel, which allows for one Ranger to do the job of several other cameras.
