The new HALCON 9.0 SICK-3DCamera interface is a unified interface for the complete series of SICK Ranger and Ruler cameras. The interface makes the whole functionality of the 3D Cameras easily and directly available in HALCON, including the unique MultiScan capacity to get simultaneous 3D and 2D images. Thus, the whole functionality of the HALCON library is ready to be applied, including operators for morphology, pattern matching, measuring, and 3D vision.
“HALCON is a very powerful software for image analysis”, says Fredrik Nilsson, the Product Manager for the SICK 3D cameras. “This new interface will make it easy for integrators to use the high quality 3D and MultiScan data from our 3D cameras to build complete machine vision solutions with HALCON.”
Customers which develop solutions for applications areas like automotive & robotics, packaging, and life sciences certainly benefit from the easy integration of the SICK 3D cameras into HALCON. “The flexible acquisition of high speed 3D data is a perfect complement for HALCON”, says MVTec’s product manager Christoph Zierl.
About 3D CamerasSICK Ranger and Ruler are high speed 3D cameras for the most versatile needs. With their measurement speed, data quality, and high flexibility with the MultiScan technology, they are used in tough industrial environments worldwide for various solutions from small-sized component inspection up to large-scale log scanning. They provide the essential object information such as 3D-shape, volume, contrast, gloss, and surface defects – all at the very same time – needed for robust and reliable solutions.
