Plug-and-play 3D vision sensing
25 January 2016
SICK’s first ‘plug-and-play’ 3D vision sensor, the TriSpector 1000, delivers real-time 3D quality inspection in a self-contained unit that is simple to install and use.
Developed by SICK in close cooperation with customers worldwide, the TriSpector 1000 is expected to open up affordable 3D vision sensing for a wide range of processing and packaging operations. It will provide warehouse operators with true ‘out-of-the-box’ 3D vision without the complexity or cost of conventional 3D vision solutions.
The TriSpector works through the principle of 3D laser triangulation where a vision camera is angled to capture a series of profiles as the object moves through the laser line projection. A shape profile of the object is built up.
