The manual offers detailed guidance on assembling and operating the rc_viscore 3D Stereo Sensor by Roboception GmbH, covering safety precautions, technical specifications, installation, and maintenance. It stresses the importance of following safety warnings to prevent injury and equipment damage.
The rc_viscore stereo camera is a high-resolution, IP54-protected 3D stereo camera with an integrated rc_randomdot projector, delivering 12MP images. It is suitable for industrial automation and logistics applications.
Unauthorized modifications void the warranty. Disassembling or modifying the camera can lead to electric shock or other hazards.
The camera complies with the EC Declaration of Conformity, IP54 ingress protection, and ROHS compliance, designed for industrial use in the US and Canada.
The product complies with the EU RoHS Directive and REACH Regulation, ensuring it is free from hazardous substances. Proper disposal methods are outlined.
General warnings and safety instructions are provided, emphasizing proper installation and risks in high humidity or explosive environments.
Details include scope of delivery, technical specifications, environmental conditions, power supply, and wiring. The camera's coordinate frames are also discussed.
Instructions for mounting, powering up, connecting, and adjusting the camera and projector focus are included, along with calibration procedures.
Guidance on lens cleaning and changing the working range is provided to ensure optimal performance.
Information on power connections, supplies, spare parts, and additional products like SGM®Producer and rc_cube is included.
Solutions for hardware issues, sparse depth images, and dark camera images are provided.
Contact information for customer support and the manufacturer's address is provided for further assistance.
The camera is designed for use with Roboception rc_cube or SGM®Producer, suitable for automated machinery, mobile platforms, or stationary equipment, but not for safety-critical applications.
The camera offers various depth image qualities and frame rates depending on the GPU used, requiring 3.4 Gbytes of GPU memory for stereo matching.
Operating conditions include a temperature range of 0°C to 45°C and relative humidity of 20% to 80%.
The camera requires a 22-26 V DC power supply with a maximum power consumption of 48 W.
The camera comes with a sync cable and requires proper cable management to avoid strain on connectors.
The camera should be mounted on a wall or ceiling, not on a robot end-effector, requiring a mounting bracket with M4 and M5 thread patterns.
Ensure all connectors are secure before powering up. The camera can connect to an rc_cube or function as a stand-alone RGBD camera with SGM®Producer.
The camera should be connected directly to 1 gigabit Ethernet ports on a computer, with a bandwidth of more than 2 gigabit if using a network switch.
The camera is pre-focused to 1.6 m, with a working range of 1.4-2.0 m. Adjust focus if a different range is needed.
The projector focus is set to match the camera's focus distance, with adjustments made only if the pattern is strongly blurred.
Calibration must be checked after any focus or aperture changes, with recalibration necessary if errors exceed 0.3 pixels.
Only lens caps are removable by customers. Unauthorized opening voids the warranty. Clean lenses with care.
The camera uses an 8-pin M12 plug for power and GPIO connections, with installation by a certified electrician.
Ensure proper cable connections and power supply to avoid startup issues.
Instructions for setting up the camera emphasize proper grounding and checking for ground loops.
Depth images with missing values can occur if the scene is out of range or lacks texture. Adjusting parameters and using the internal projector can help.
Dark images may result from an overly bright internal projector. Solutions include increasing external lighting or adjusting the projector's aperture and focus.
For support, users are directed to Roboception's website or can contact support via email.
An index is provided for quick reference, with additional resources including links to tutorials and documentation.

1.1 Overview The rc_viscore stereo camera is a high-resolution IP54-protected 3D stereo camera with an integrated rc_randomdot projector. The rc_viscore stereo camera provides 12MP camera images and – in combination with an rc_cube or the SGM®producer – depth, confidence and error images. The integrated rc_randomdot projector projects a random dot pattern and allows for dense depth images even in weakly textured scenes and the high resolution permits the detection of small parts with high accuracy. In combination with the rc_cube, the rc_viscore stereo camera provides the data for object detection...
