TIME-OF-FLIGHT CAMERA SYSTEM, ROBOT MILKING SYSTEM COMPRISING A TIME-OF-FLIGHT CAMERA SYSTEM AND METHOD OF OPERATING A TIME-OF-FLIGHT CAMERA SYSTEM

摘要

A time-of-flight (TOF) camera system for a robot milking system comprises a housing (11) accommodating a light source (12), imaging optics (13), an image sensor, and electronics; a front part (14) including a light transparent window (15) arranged in front of the light source and the imaging optics; and fasteners (16), wherein the housing has a front side (11a) and a back side (11b) and the front part has a front side (14a) and a backside (14b), the surface of the front side being flat and including a front surface (15a) of the light transparent window. The fasteners are capable of releasably mechanically fastening the front part to the housing with the back side of the front part and the front side of the housing facing each other and the fasteners are maneuverable from the back side of the housing to fasten the front part to, and release the front part from, the housing, thereby enabling the front part to be replaceable.
