Vision sensors gain pattern matching software

PatMax geometric pattern matching software is now available on Cognex In-Sight vision sensors.

PatMax geometric pattern matching software is now available on Cognex In-Sight vision sensors.

This patented technology for high accuracy feature location sets a new performance standard for vision sensors.

PatMax provides accurate feature location despite changes in image angle, size, rotation, and appearance.

With up to ten times greater accuracy than other pattern matching technologies, PatMax easily handles variations in part appearance caused by process variations, reflective surfaces, partial occlusion, nonlinear changes in lighting, or uneven image formation.

"This revolutionary technology has proven valuable to customers who use our PC vision products; now it's available on our In-Sight line of vision sensors", said Jim Hoffmaster, Chief Operating Officer for Cognex.

"PatMax software enables our customers to simplify their mechanical fixturing and lighting, making vision projects easier and less expensive to implement".

"In addition, PatMax software makes it possible to use vision successfully in applications that simply cannot be handled by less robust vision technology.

Our customers benefit by lowering their manufacturing costs, increasing production line flexibility, and improving product quality".

PatMax is available now on the new industrial-grade In-Sight 5100, 5400 and 3400 vision sensors, along with a full library of powerful image processing and analysis tools that offer unparalleled vision performance for inspection, measurement, identification, and guidance tasks.

The powerful vision spreadsheet and easy-to-use In-Sight Explorer software make application development and network administration fast and simple.
