3 Getting started
The purpose of this chapter is to quickly and easily connect the camera and capture
initial 2D and 3D images. A connection module, e.g. CDB650-204, can be used to
simplify the connection procedure.
NOTE
Before using the product in a production environment, the complete operating instruc‐
tions must have been read and understood.
PC installation
Download the latest version of the Ranger3 Software Deployment Kit (SDK) from the
SICK Support Portal, supportportal.sick.com. The SDK contains the configuration soft‐
ware, Ranger3 Studio.
For further information about the PC software and installation, see "Installing PC soft‐
ware", page 31.
Mounting the camera and the laser
Use the camera together with a line-projecting laser that illuminates the object to be
measured.
•
Mount the camera and the laser so that the laser illuminates the object from one
direction, and the camera views the object from another direction.
•
The laser line must be orthogonal to the movement direction of the object. Mount
the camera so that the camera does not tilt sideways compared to the laser line.
•
Make sure that the camera is properly cooled.
For further information about how to mount the camera and the laser, see "Mounting",
page 20.
Connecting the camera
See figure 1 for an overview of the electrical connections for the installation.
