Stand-alone sensor
20 November 2013
At this year’s SPS/IPC/Drives exhibition in Nuremberg, Vision Components showcased the VC nano 3D, a freely configurable, intelligent 3D vision sensor.

The intelligent camera VCSBC6210 nano RH forms the basis of the compact vision system, whose special feature is its suitability for both 3D and 2D inspection tasks. It provides a cost-efficient solution for a wide range of applications.
Measuring 140 x 70 x 35mm, its housing contains an intelligent camera and a 5MW line laser which enables real-time 3D light section measurement at a rate of up to 400Hz. Images can be analysed by the sensor’s DSP processor which has a computing power of 5600 MIPS. Additionally, images can be analysed by a PC.
Designed for working distances between 80 and 200mm, measuring ranges between 12 and 120mm, and vertical resolutions between 5 and 50µm, 12 VC nano 3D models cover a wide application range. For many models, Vision Components also offers a 100MW laser instead of the standard 30MW option.
