VC nano 3D: First triangulation sensor with integrated intelligence worldwide Ettlingen – Vision Components introduces the VC nano 3D, an ultra-compact machine vision system that can be freely configured for 3D and 2D inspection tasks, providing a cost-efficient solution for a wide range of applications. Meas-uring merely 140 x 70 x 35 mm, its housing includes an intelligent camera and a line laser with a 5 mW performance which enables the real-time recording of images at a scan rate of up to 400 Hz according to the triangulation method. The images can be analyzed by the DSP processor of the Smart Camera which has a computing power of 5,600 MIPS. Additionally, images can also be ana-lyzed by a PC just like in standard 3D systems. In all models, a freely program-mable 100 Mbit Ethernet interface allows for live video output on a PC. Moreo-ver, two digital inputs and four outputs are available for integration into existing automation environments. Designed for working distances between 80 and 120 mm, measuring ranges between 12 and 120 mm and vertical resolutions between 5 and 50 µm, twelve different camera models cover a wide application range. The cameras can be used in measuring technology applications, robot guidance, completeness checks, weld inspection, the inspection of components and the detection of codes on punched parts. Since the use of basic compo-nents from VC allows for very cost-efficient pricing, users can solve many addi-tional measuring tasks with this sensor: the Ettlingen-based camera manufac-turer sets the list price for the entry-level model at 1,999 €. Figure: Detection and processing of 3D data on a miniature scale: VC nano 3D from Vision Components Company Background Vision Components GmbH, founded in 1996 by Michael Engel, inventor of the first intelligent camera for industrial applications, is a leading supplier in the field of machine vision. Branches and distributors represent the Ettlingen-based company worldwide in more than 25 countries. Vision Components develops and distributes intelligent, network-compatible real-time Smart Cameras, which are able to operate without a PC and can be integrated into almost any industrial facility. Typical applications include quality inspection and automation. Equipped with the proprietary multitasking VCRT operating system, VC Smart Cameras can be easily configured for all possible tasks. Furthermore, VC provides software libraries for a wide range of applications including motion capture, decoding, measurement, and positioning. Additionally, VC develops custom-tailored solutions for specific tasks such as wafer handling in the solar industry or OEM camera modules for medical devices technology.
