The fast way to high-performance 3D
Highly accurate with an unmatched measurement speed, the new generation Ruler3000 3D cameras will be the number one choice for machine vision system integrators and industrial applications. Being powered by the unique 3D CMOS sensor from SICK tailored for superior image processing, their measurement results are very reliable. The factory-calibrated sensor extracts the true 3D shape of an object, regardless of its contrast or color. The numerous versions of Ruler3000 offer a solution for a wide range of challenges and can deliver accurate measurement values down to 0.8 µm in height with a resolution of 3200 data points per profile. Thanks to the guaranteed field-of-view concept, commissioning is easy. GigE Vision and GenICam compliance ensures cost-effective integration.

Highly accurate and reliable 3D measurements in FoV, width from 27 mm up to 1.7 m.


The high light sensitivity of Ruler3000 ensures accurate inspection even of very dark materials. Ruler3020 in particular has a field of view that is ideal for tire side wall applications.


Ruler3000 can deliver millimeter-precise data as input to the robot, quickly and accurately guiding it through any dispensing application.

The new Ruler3000 3D camera from SICK is the perfect fit for a wide variety of applications in factory automation.

Keep it simple
The Ruler3000 3D camera offers ease of use and simplified integration into systems and machines using industry standards such as GigEVision and GenICam as well as SICK’s own API GenIStream. In every aspect, simplicity is a given: A suitable lens and laser are already designed into the sensor and software is provided for easy setup.

Ruler3000 comes factory-calibrated with a suitable laser and optics in a rugged housing. You can start the measuring directly.


Thanks to the guaranteed field-of-view concept, commissioning is easy. You can quickly move from the lab to the factory floor.


The included software components, Stream Setup and the API GenIStream, are especially designed with simplicity in mind.

Ruler3000 enables you to easily solve complex inspection and measurement tasks.

Captures even very small object details with measurements in the micrometer range
Part of the Ruler3000 family is tailored to the electronics and semiconductor industries and is focused on capturing the really small details with micrometer measurements. Thanks to options for different fields of view, and blue or red lasers in laser class 2 or 3R, there are solutions for reliable results with challenging materials.

With accurate measurements down to 0.8 μm in height, even minuscule details are captured with accuracy.


Ruler3000 has options for a blue 3R laser, which enables high-speed applications as well as better image quality on shiny surfaces.

Get high-quality data even for complex applications

The dual-exposure feature increases the image quality in high-contrast scenes with large variations in surface reflectivity, such as very dark and very shiny surfaces in the same scene. This means good image quality both on highly reflective, shiny surfaces as well as on surfaces with high contrast variation.


Surface+ is a new, patent pending technology that provides an additional image dimension revealing even the tiniest scratch on a smooth surface. It can also be used for measuring the glossiness of surfaces to detect paint or coating defects, for example.


The Stream Setup configuration software provides user-friendly tools for noise reduction and false data removal.

The Ruler3000 offers solutions for reliable results with demanding materials

Setting a new standard for high-speed 3D
With ever-increasing needs for faster manufacturing processes, more accurate quality control, and shorter delivery times, each part must keep up to the speed with the others.
