Infrared Imaging : The best gets better
Viewing infrared wavelengths between 0.4-1.5microns, the converted image produced by the new 7215 is now brighter and offers edge to edge sharpness.
Infrared Imaging at Telecomms Wavelengths
The widely used Electrophysics 7290A Micronviewer Infrared camera has now been enhanced with increased sensitivity at both 1310nm and 1550nm.
Using the latest CameraLink interface, the Ranger C measures 3D features at unmatched speeds and accuracy.
The result is detailed height and shape measurement data, critical in applications for profiling, classifying and inspecting products or features in 3D.
The Ranger C MultiScan acquires multiple feature images in grey scale, gloss and laser scatter as well as 3D data simultaneously.
All feature images are captured when the object passes the camera in line scan mode and are sent to the PC via CameraLink.
In both versions all triangulation calculations are completely executed by the Ranger cameras, eliminating the need for expensive postprocessors.
They are easy to integrate and users can choose to measure individual profiles or build up a 3D plot for processing by bespoke or standard third-party imaging software packages.
The Ranger is already a key component in the measurement and profiling of products in numerous applications in a variety of industries.
Electronic component inspection, connector measurement, tree profiling for cutting, strip steel profiling and pallet inspection are just a few.
The addition of the CameraLink interface will mean a greater number of 3D problems can be solved by the Sick IVP Ranger C series. Request a free brochure from Lambda Photometrics ...
