Sick IVC-3D stainless steel 3D camera

The IVC-3D is a smart 3D camera that is specially designed for harsh environments. It combines imaging, lighting and analysis in a single, robust, stainless steel housing. It is suitable for a wide range of applications in the food and beverage industry. The hygienic, IP67-rated design is easy to clean, and ECOLAB certified to be resistant to aggressive cleaning agents and disinfectants.

The third dimension is created by laser triangulation: a 3D image is created as the object moves under a laser beam. Measuring in 3D provides information about object height, shape and volume, independent of contrast and colour.

It is easily configured with a PC using the IVC Studio user interface. An emulator allows users to work off-line and test their applications on batches of stored images. In addition, toolsets for image analysis and communication are designed to make interfacing with PLCs, robots and control systems easy. Once the application is set up, the computer is not needed as the IVC smart cameras operate stand-alone or as part of the factory network.
