3D cameras offer high speed and high resolution

Paul Boughton
With its new C4 camera series, Automation Technology says it presents the world fastest high-resolution 3D sensor. These new cameras have a resolution of either 1280x1024 or 2352x1728 pixels, and deliver more than 60million 3D points per second with a profile frequency of up to 30kHz.

The integrated C4 processors detect the height-profile of the measured surface with a sub-pixel precision of up to 1/64 of a pixel without losing speed. One innovation compared to previous models of the C3 series is the smart camera architecture with an image-storage capacity of up to 1GB. The light-sensitivity of the C4-1280 has also been improved.

Data exchange is based on a Gibabit-Ethernet interface and complies with the GigE-Vision standard. The use of this standard reduces integration effort considerably. The setup of the camera is fast and simple thanks to the Genicam protocol.

Automation Technology offers additionally C4 technology as a compact sensor with integrated line-laser. These compact sensors are adaptable to customer requirements and have an extended depth of field.
