(SICK: Minneapolis) -- SICK, a global manufacturer of sensors, safety systems, machine vision, and automatic identification products for factory and logistics automation, announces the launch of the world’s first high-speed 3-D camera with high-quality color capability. By measuring the 3-D shape and color of objects, more reliable decisions can be made, allowing production plants to improve their uptime, throughput, and product quality. The ColorRanger E replaces the need for several different cameras for the same task, which reduces the solution cost and complexity.

ColorRanger E cameras can solve various inspection tasks by measuring shape, contrast, and surface defect to ensure product quality and production reliability. The ColorRanger E expands inspection possibilities further by providing high-resolution RGB color at up to 3,072 pixels per channel. With simultaneous 3-D and color information at more than 11 kHz, multiple inspections can be performed in parallel at full production speed.
