C4-2040-GigE: New High-speed 3D camera with high resolution for laser-triangulation

Juni 23 15:23 2011

The new front of the C4 camera series combines all outstanding characteristics of the other
C4 cameras and enables high speed performances at megapixel resolution. This capacity is
a result of a complete new camera architecture which takes the cost-performance ratio of
laser triangulation sensors to a new level.

The 3D sensor uses a global shutter and exposures all pixels at the same time, thus affords
sharp images without distortion. The C4 camera supports also the HDR-3D technology of
Automation Technology, which enables the readout of the sensor with Multi-Slope and Multi-
Frame-Readout. In this way the camera accomplishes a dynamic of up to 90db and scans
even materials and surfaces with inhomogeneous reflectivity properties. Another main
criterion of the fast 3D measurement is the high light sensivity of the C4-2040 sensors and the
enhanced sensitivity in the NIR spectrum.

The data-exchange is based on a Gibabit-Ethernet interface and complies with the GigE-
Vision standard. In conjunction with the GenICam protocol, the use of this standard reduces
integration efforts by the user considerably. The configuration is done in a very fast and
simple way via Plug n’ Play and the access to the camera is carried out by standarized
interfaces. This is why the need of producer-specific software libraries means a thing of the
past.
