Sick IVC-3D stainless steel smart camera

Sick’s IVC-3D stainless steel smart camera has been specially designed for harsh environments combining imaging, lighting and analysis in a single, robust, stainless steel housing.

IVC-3D stainless steel is suitable for a wide range of applications in the food and beverage industry. The hygienic, IP67-rated design is easy to clean and Ecolab certified to be resistant to aggressive cleaning agents and disinfectants.

This smart camera enables high-speed production processes to run smoothly through precise shape and volume measurements with instant evaluation and response.

3D imaging is needed where height, shape and volume are important features in production.

The IVC-3D makes high-speed production processes cost-effective and accurate. Packaging problems can be minimised and product quality controlled.

The IVC-3D is well fitted for food production processes and measures all features independently of colour and contrast variations.

Measuring in 3D provides information about object height, shape and volume, independent of contrast and colour. With the IVC-3D, applications and processes are kept at the highest levels of performance. It is easily configured with a PC using the IVC Studio user interface. An emulator allows users to work offline and test their applications on batches of stored images. In addition, powerful toolsets for image analysis and communication make interfacing with PLCs, robots and control systems easy.

Once the application is set up, the computer is not needed as the IVC smart camera operates standalone or as part of the factory network.
