SICK Ranger3 3D Vision is a high-speed 3D camera intended to be the vision component of a machine vision system. Ranger3 makes measurements on objects that pass in front of the camera, and sends the measurement results to a PC for further processing. The measurements can be started and stopped from the PC and triggered by encoders and photoelectric switches in the vision system.
Ranger3 complies with the GenICam™ standard, which provides a generic programming interface for different kinds of cameras and devices. The latest version of the Ranger3 SDK can be downloaded from the SICK Support Portal.

Product information
Ranger3 is a high-speed 3D camera intended to be
the vision component in a machine vision system.
Ranger3 makes measurements on the objects
that passes in front of the camera, and sends the
measurement results to a PC for further processing.
The measurements can be started and stopped from
the PC, and triggered by encoders and photoelectric
switches in the vision system.
Safety information
Laser safety
WARNING
When a SICK device is used in combination with a
laser, all requirements for laser products and laser
systems according to the laser safety standards
EN/IEC 60825–1 and 21 CFR 1040.10/11 must
be fullled.
WARNING
If the camera is used with a laser, the power to the
laser must be turned o before any maintenance is
performed. Failure to turn the laser power o when
maintaining the camera may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.
Electrical safety
WARNING
Risk of injury and damage due to electrical cur-
rent!
Incorrect grounding of the device can result in
equipotential bonding currents between the device
and other grounded devices in the system. This can
lead to the following dangers and faults:
• Hazardous voltages are applied to the metal
housings.
• Devices will malfunction or sustain irrepairable
damage.
• Cable shieldings are damaged by overheating
and cause cable res.
Remedial measures:
Only qualied electricians should be permitted to
carry out work on the electrical system.
Install the grounding for the sensor and the
system in accordance with national and regional
regulations.
Ensure that the ground potential is the same at
all grounding points.
If the cable insulation is damaged, disconnect
the power supply immediately and have the dam-
age repaired.
System recommendations
The PC requirements for the vision system depend on
your application. The following is recommended for
minimal operation:
• Windows 7 or Windows 10, 64 bit.
• Gigabit Ethernet adapter that supports Jumbo
Frames and is dedicated for camera communica-
tion.
PC installation
The latest version of the Ranger3 SDK can be down-
loaded from the SICK Support Portal:
1. Log in to the SICK Support Portal.
2. Under the
Vi si o n tab, select RangeR3 and navigate
to the Ranger3 SDK download page.
3. Download the SDK zip le.
4. Unzip the SDK and follow the instructions in the
README.txt le.
Mounting the camera and the laser
Use the camera together with a line-projecting laser
that illuminates the object to be measured.
• Mount the camera and the laser so that the laser
illuminates the object from one direction, and the
camera views the object from another direction.
• The laser line must be orthogonal to the movement
direction of the object. Also mount the camera so
that the camera does not tilt sideways compared to
the laser line.
• Make sure that the camera is properly cooled.
Connecting the camera
NOTICE
Never connect any signals while the camera is
powered.
Never connect a powered Power-I/O terminal or
powered I/O signals to a camera.
Never connect a powered encoder interface unit
to a camera.
Never connect signal levels that exceed the input
specication to the encoder inputs.
1. Remove the protection caps that cover the
connections for Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) and Power
I/O on the back of the camera.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the GigE connector
on the camera. Connect the other end of the
Ethernet cable to the Network Interface Card
(NIC) in the PC.
3. Connect the connecting module to the Power I/O
connector on the camera.
4. Connect the unpowered power supply to the
connecting module.
5. Connect the laser to its power supply.
6. Switch on the power to the system.
For more information about the electrical connec-
tions, see section B and section C.
Conguration
Before the camera can be used in a machine vision
system, it has to be congured. This is done by adjust-
ing parameters in the Ranger3 Studio software until
the image result is satisfactory.
Ranger3 complies with the GenICam™ standard,
which provides a generic programming interface for
dierent kinds of cameras and devices.
For detailed information about how to congure and
operate Ranger3, refer to the Ranger3 Operating
Instructions (art no 8020774).
Service and Maintenance
The camera contains no user serviceable parts in-
side. The warranty of the device will be void if opened.
The device must not be opened by other parties than
SICK.
• Check connectors at regular intervals.
• Clean the housing with a soft cloth, dry or damp-
ened with a mild water diluted cleaning agent
without powder additives.
In case of unit failure, please contact SICK or the
SICK representative that delivered the unit for further
instructions.
