Smart sensor checks for components
The Checker 101 is a simple-to-use and inexpensive sensor that can visually detect the presence or absence of components during the manufacturing process.
Additionally, Checker does not require the precise part fixturing or positioning that photoelectric sensors require.
Checker's all-in-one, IP67 design is suitable for all industrial environments.
Users simply power up the unit, connect the USB cable to a PC, and follow a simple setup procedure to be up and running in minutes.
In addition to the trial software, the latest Checker release features many product enhancements.
Checker now allows for offline setup, without a Checker attached to the PC.
Users can record high-speed video from their production lines, and then set up a Checker job without ever having to stop the line.
Checker can also switch between 16 different sensor setups in real time for automatic line changeovers.
A new "train and go" capability lets Checker learn new features to detect without having to connect to a PC.
Checker also now works on very large parts.
Checker version 1.3 can be downloaded from the Cognex website. Request a free brochure from Cognex UK ...
