Ruler

Ruler E is a high-speed data streamer for true shape measurement of various kinds of objects. The camera delivers calibrated 3D profiles of objects passing through the measurement region. The high quality 3D data can be incorporated into your PC application solving inspection tasks such as volume measurement, shape analysis, object size rejection, 3D positioning, and so forth. In addition to the 3D measurements, the Ruler can also measure object features like intensity and laser scatter (by option). The combination of these object features provide new possibilities for solving image processing applications that are very hard to solve with traditional two-dimensional imaging.

The Ruler provides a complete solution for the generation of calibrated 3D data. The 3D imaging in Ruler E is based on a unique CMOS-sensor optimised for computation of 3D coordinates with the use of laser triangulation. The field of view and the resolution are dependent on the Ruler model and should be chosen dependent on the application. The profile capture rate and data quality is adjusted by software parameters and can be optimised for each application.

Ruler E is designed for tough industrial environments. All vital components for 3D scanning, such as camera, laser, optics, and electronics, are all included and encapsulated in a robust housing (IP 65). This makes the Ruler very easy to both install and to use. The generated data is delivered to a hosting PC using the high-speed Gigabit Ethernet interface. This standard communication interface allows for the use of robust but inexpensive cables and PC boards, providing a more cost efficient complete solution.
