SICK Ranger E/D 3D Camera Quickstart

Brand: SICK

Model: Ranger E/D 3D Camera

Category: Security camera accessories

Type: Quickstart

SICK Ranger E/D 3D Camera is a high-speed 3D camera that can measure up to 35,000 shape profiles per second. It can also operate in a MultiScan mode, where it can simultaneously measure 3D, grayscale, scatter, gloss, etc. The Ranger E/D is intended to be the vision component in a machine vision system. It can be used for a variety of applications, such as:

Quality control: The Ranger E/D can be used to inspect products for defects, such as scratches, dents, and cracks.
Robot guidance: The Ranger E/D can be used to guide robots in picking and placing objects, or in assembly tasks.
3D mapping: The Ranger E/D can be used to create 3D maps of objects or environments.

1 Safety

b Read the entire Quickstart before using the device.

b Connection, assembly, and settings must be performed by

competent technicians.

b Do not connect external I/O signals to the device while it is

powered. This may damage the device.

b Protect the device from moisture and dirt during operation.

b Do not use the device in areas with risk for explosion.

b Safe operation of lasers (accessory) depend on the type of

lasers being used. Carefully read the safety instructions in

the laser’s manual.

2 Product Specication

Ranger E is a high-speed 3D camera that can measure up to

35,000 shape proles/s. The camera can also operate in a

MultiScan mode, where it can simultaneously measure 3D,

grayscale, scatter, gloss, etc.

Ranger D is an alternative to the Ranger E, for use where

mid-speed performance is sufcient (see

C ). The Ranger

D measures 3D with as high resolution, but requires less

conguration, and does not offer the possibility of MultiScan.

The Ranger serves as a data streamer, from which the

measurement data is transferred through a Gigabit Ethernet

connection to a PC for further processing.

The Ranger can be started, stopped and congured by applica-

tions running on the PC. Note that the 3D Camera Develop-

ment software is required to build such applications.

The Ranger E/D is intended to be the vision component in a

machine vision system.

The ISM Radio Frequency Classication is Group 1, Class A

(EN55011).

Warning: Class A equipment is intended to be used in an

industrial environment.

3 Connections

Ranger E/D is connected to a 24 V DC power supply, and to a

PC running Windows 7/XP equipped with a Gigabit Ethernet

network board:

b The power supply is connected to the Power I/O connector

(M12 connector).

b The Gigabit Ethernet board in the PC is connected to the

Gigabit Ethernet connector (RJ45), either directly or through

an Ethernet switch.

b I/O signals that are used, for example pulse trigger signals

from encoders or the laser trigger signal from the Ranger

camera, are connected to the Power I/O and the Encoder

connector respectively (M12 connector).

4 System Requirements

b PC

Recommended: Windows XP Pro 32/64 bit or

Windows 7 32/64 bit, at least 4 GB memory,

Gigabit Ethernet network card supporting jumbo

frames.

b Ethernet

cable

Up to 70 m using CAT 6 cables.

For longer distances or tough environments,

opto cables can be used.

5 Installation

b Install the Gigabit Ethernet board ( a ) and the 3D Camera

Development software (

b ) on the PC.

b Attach a lens to the Ranger (

c ).

b Mount the Ranger, additional light sources, and other equip-

ment to be used by the vision system such as encoders and

photoelectric switches for triggering.

b If the I/O signals are used, connect the equipment using the

signals to the Power I/O or Encoder connector of the Ranger.

A Ranger E/D Power-I/O terminal (

d ) can also be used

for connecting I/O signals to the Ranger. It offers screw

terminals for connecting the signals, and connects to the

Ranger with a Ranger E/D Power-I/O-Encoder Y-cable (

e ).

b Connect the Gigabit Ethernet connector on the Ranger to a

dedicated Gigabit network, or directly to the Gigabit network

connector on the PC using a Gigabit Ethernet cable (

f ).

b Connect an unpowered 24 V DC power supply (

g ) to the

Power I/O connector on the Ranger, or to the power plug on

the Ranger E/D Power-I/O terminal.

b Switch on the power supply.

For detailed installation instructions, see the Ranger E/D

Reference Manual that can be found on the 3D Camera

Development software CD, or be downloaded from:

6 Service and Maintenance

The Ranger E/D contain no user serviceable parts inside. The

warranty of the device will be void if opened.

b Check screw connections and connectors at regular

intervals.

b Clean the housing with a soft cloth, dry or dampened with a

mild water diluted cleaning agent without powder additives.

In case of unit failure, please contact SICK or a SICK represen-

tative that delivered the unit for further instructions.
