Vision system dedicated to electronic production
Cognex has introduced Display Inspect - a machine vision software and hardware package for inspecting displays, keypads, and enclosures on LCD and LED display-based products.
For example, it can be used in the automotive industry to identify motor camshafts by colour; in the food and beverage industries to verify the colour of packages and in the electronics industry to verify the correct position of colour LEDs at electrical test stations.
The In-Sight 5101 is a high-resolution (1024 x 768) version of the 5100 for high-accuracy gauging applications in automotive and other general assembly applications that require increased resolution for inspecting small objects, or capturing images of larger parts.
"The In-Sight 5000 Series product line has been well received by customers because of its outstanding performance and rugged design".
"With the new 5100C and 5101 industrial grade models, customers can deploy high-performance colour inspection and high-accuracy gauging wherever it's needed on the factory floor", said Jim Hoffmaster, President and Chief Operating Officer for Cognex.
As with other In-Sight 5000 Series vision sensors, the 5100C and 5101 are self-contained, industrial-grade vision sensors that meet IEC specifications for shock and vibration, and achieve an IP67 (NEMA 6) rating for dust and wash-down protection - without the need for a separate industrial enclosure.
The units also include a vision spreadsheet interface and In-Sight Explorer software that provide tools to simplify application development and network administration.
PatMax, the industry's performance standard for feature and object location, is available as an option.
The In-Sight 5100C and 5101 are available now. Request a free brochure from Cognex UK ...
