1097236

Overview

The SICK part number 1097236 identifies the Visionary-S CX camera equipped with a short heat sink. This device is a 3D snapshot sensor utilizing stereo vision principles to generate high-resolution depth and color data simultaneously. It features an integrated illumination system that ensures reliable performance in varying ambient light conditions, including absolute darkness and up to 40 klx sunlight. The unit outputs raw color and depth values via a Gigabit Ethernet interface, allowing for direct integration into industrial automation systems without external processing requirements.

Feature Summary

• Simultaneous acquisition of over 320,000 depth and color intensity values per frame
• Integrated illumination enables operation in absolute darkness and high ambient light
• On-board pre-filtering of irrelevant data before transmission via Ethernet
• Compact design with short heat sink for space-constrained installations

Applications

• Robotics guidance and object recognition
• Internal logistics and material handling
• Quality assurance tasks in production environments

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix indicates the short heat sink variant when ordering. Confirm compatibility with existing Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure. Ensure the application environment temperature remains within the operational limits defined for the short heat sink configuration. Validate software support for SOPAS ET or required programming languages during the planning phase.

Selection Notes

Choose this model when raw 3D color data output is required directly from the sensor. Select the short heat sink version if the installation area has lower ambient temperatures. Consider the Visionary-S AP variant if on-device application development using AppSpace is necessary instead of external processing.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Visionary-S family of 3D visual sensors. These devices are designed for factory automation applications requiring high precision and speed. The series combines structure light technology with mature color camera techniques to provide real-time 3D information.
