Introduction
Figure 1.2 – 3D (left), intensity (top right), and scatter (bottom right) images of a blister
pack with one damaged blister and two empty blisters.
There are four different models of the Ranger available:
Ranger C Connects to the PC via CameraLink.
Ranger E Connects to the PC through a Gigabit Ethernet network.
ColorRanger E Combines the function of a Ranger E camera and a three-color line scan
camera.
Ranger D A low-cost, mid-performance version of the Ranger E, suitable for meas-
uring 3D only in applications without high-speed requirements. The
Ranger D can measure up to 1000 profiles per second.
The Ranger C, E and ColorRanger E models are MultiScan cameras, which mean that they
can make several types of measurements on the object in parallel. This is achieved by
applying different measurement methods to different parts of the sensor.
By selecting appropriate illuminations for the different areas of the measurement scene,
the Ranger can be used for measuring several features of the objects at the very same
time.
