Sick has launched the
Visionary-T, its first
robust, industrial imaging
camera to capture highresolution
3D data with a single
‘snapshot’, whether the object is
stationary or moving.
The camera uses highresolution
Time-of–Flight
(TOF) technology to achieve
superior quality 3D imaging
for vision applications. Unlike
3D vision systems based on
laser triangulation, the 3D
image is captured with one
shot of light, without the need
to profile a moving object.
While single shot imaging
systems have already been
introduced for consumer
applications, the IP67-rated
Visionary-T is designed for
24/7 industrial use in rugged
conditions. The camera
therefore offers an affordable
The Visonary-T camera from Sick is available in two different models
alternative to high-end
3D vision systems so that
manufacturers and machine
builders can integrate 3D
imaging into a wide range of
vision applications.
These include obstacle
recognition for automated
vehicle or robot navigation,
intrusion detection, parcel
quality checking or gesture
recognition. Images of moving
or stationary objects are
captured within a range of up
to 7 metres.
“The Visionary T builds up a
detailed and accurate real-time
3D image of fixed or moving
objects with excellent results,”
says Neil Sandhu of Sick.
