SICK STEREO CAMERA MAKES LIGHT WORK OF ROBOT
INTEGRATION
SICK has extended its innovative family of 3D snapshot
vision sensors with the launch of the SICK Visionary S stereo
camera, enabling precise, high-speed capture of 3D colour
images for integration into robot guidance and quality
inspection applications. The SICK Visionary S 3D snapshot
camera combines stereoscopic vision with projected
structured illumination to capture up to 30 high-resolution
3D images every second and output colour and depth
values directly to a PLC or robot controller.
With a working range up to 2.5m, the IP67-rated SICK
Visionary S is ideal for a variety of rugged industrial uses.
Its real-time, rapid streaming of high-resolution RGB and
depth values makes light work of 3D recognition and
dimensioning tasks for both moving and stationary objects.
So, it is an ideal partner for robotic bin picking, palletising
and de-palletising applications, as well as for quality and
completeness checking on high-speed consumer goods
lines.
“The Visionary S addresses the need for an accurate
3D Snapshot camera that extends the options for
machinebuilders and system integrators to engineer robot
guidance solutions. Its rapid on-board image processing
and 50 ms response times makes fast picking frequencies
possible at an accessible price/ performance level.
“Add its powerful visualisation tools, Gigabit Ethernet
interface, wide compatibility with communications protocols
and common programming languages, and you have a
versatile and intelligent partner for 3D vision integration. It’s
easy to adjust the camera and filter settings and to configure
with SICK’s SOPAS software engineering tool.”
Because it delivers high-resolution 512px x 640px depth and
RGB image values in one snapshot, using the Visionary S
means there is no need for an actuator and 3D information
can also be output for stationary objects. The Visionary S’s
colour intensity perception together with depth values with
an accuracy of up to 0.7mm also mean high-quality data can
be provided for quality inspection purposes.
The Visionary S’s high-efficiency structured illumination
delivers reliable depth data in ambient light conditions.
With a working range of between 0.5m to 2.5m and a ~50°x
60° angle of view, the Visionary S is well-suited to a wide-
range of industrial and intralogistics uses.
