2 Product Specification
Ruler E is a high-speed 3D camera that can measure up to
10,000 shape profiles/s. The device is factory calibrated
and measurements are provided in a metric scale (mm). The
camera can also provide gray scale and laser scatter informa-
tion at the same time.
Ruler E has an in-built light source (laser). It is designed for
rough industrial environments, and is protected by a robust
IP65 housing. It is available in several variants (see
options for different fields-of-view, laser power, window material,
heating elements for cold environments, and laser scatter
measurements.
Ruler E serves as a data streamer, from which the measure-
ment data is transferred through a Gigabit Ethernet connec-
tion to a PC for further processing. The Ruler can be started,
stopped and configured by applications running on the PC.
Note that the 3D Camera Development software is required
to build such applications. Ruler E is intended to be the vision
component in a machine vision system.
The ISM Radio Frequency Classification is Group 1, Class A
(EN55011).

3 Connections
Ruler E is connected to a 24 V DC power supply, and to a
PC running Windows 7/XP equipped with a Gigabit Ethernet
network board.
b The power supply is connected to the Power I/O connector
(M12 connector).
b The Gigabit Ethernet board in the PC is connected to the
Gigabit Ethernet connector, either directly or through an
Ethernet switch.
b I/O signals that are used, for example pulse trigger signals
from encoders or an enable signal from a photoelectric
switch, are connected to the Power I/O and the Encoder
connector respectively (M12 connectors).

rates additional features depending on class 3B.
a Danger: Ruler E 3B has to be considered danger-
ous to retinas if exposed. The classification to
class 3B leads to the necessity of additional
safety requirements which have to be fulfilled.

b A beam attenuator and an emission indicator must be
available in the system.
b The device must be integrated into a setup with

CAUTION: Class 2 (2M) lasers emit visible radia-
a
tion in the wavelength range from 400 nm to 700
nm where eye protection is normally afforded by
aversion responses including the blink reflex.
However, viewing of the output is hazardous if the
user employs optical instruments within the beam or
suppresses aversion responses intentionally. Temporary
irritating optical influence (glare, flash blindness,
after-image) on the human eye can not be excluded, in
particular in combination with low ambient light level.
b Do not stare into beam.
b Do not view the laser beam directly with optical
instruments like magnifying glasses.
b Do not aim the laser beam of the device at the eyes of
a person.
