AUGUST 22--StockerYale Inc. (Salem, NH), an independent provider of photonics-based products, is supplying laser modules for SICK|IVP's IVC-3-D smart camera. SICK is a global manufacturer of sensors, safety systems, and automatic identification solutions for factory automation. The new sensor utilizes a StockerYale laser specifically developed to meet 3-D requirements. The IVC-3-D vision sensor is reportedly the world's first 3-D smart camera. It can detect precise geometrical features, regardless of fluctuations in contrast and object speed. The sensor is suitable for numerous inspection tasks in the food and packaging industries, in production processes, or in robot-handling systems. The product has numerous patents pending and was recently introduced at the Hanover Industrial Fair.
SICK|IVP supplies sensor systems for high-speed 3-D machine vision. Since its inception in 1985, the company's automated visual inspection systems have been awarded patents throughout the world. SICK|IVP became a subsidiary of the multinational German corporation SICK AG in June 2003.
