Cognex Vision Systems

The Cognex In-Sight Micro Series provides world class performance in the smallest package available (30mm x 30mm x 60mm). Powerful vision applications can now be solved where system size was previously a limiting factor, and where multiple systems have to be installed in a tight space.

Whether for single-point inspection tasks, or building an entire factory-wide network of vision systems, In-Sight Micro models are available to meet the cost and functionality of the application. For system expansion, multiple In-Sight Micro vision systems can be linked to a VisionView display and I/O accessories.

The In-Sight 5000 Series combines a library of advanced vision tools with high-speed image acquisition and processing and industrial-grade features. The unprecedented vision power and unmatched ruggedness of the In-Sight 5000 Series vision systems are helping manufacturers around the world improve productivity, ensure product quality and lower manufacturing costs.

Cognex’s In-Sight vision systems from TekSis are the only family of vision systems available today that provide industrial-grade features as standard.  The range offers rugged die-cast aluminum and stainless steel cases that can withstand the punishment of vibration, and sealed M12 connectors and protective lens cover for IP67 and IP68 rated protection against dust and moisture.  It all adds up to peace of mind on the factory floor.

TekSis offers a range of Cognex stainless steel vision systems for hygiene-sensitive industries. The In-Sight stainless steel range meets IEC specifications for shock and vibration, and achieves the IP68/NEMA 6P rating suitable for environments involving chemical wash downs and submersion.

The In-Sight stainless steel vision systems provide protection from harsh manufacturing environments without the added cost and complexity of an accessory enclosure. The powerful combination of performance and ruggedness makes the Cognex’s In-Sight range the ideal choice for food and beverage, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications.

The In-Sight 5604 line scan vision system combines industrially rugged In-Sight hardware and best-in-class vision tools with a high-speed, 1K line scan imager. This eliminates the need for PC based vision systems and separate line scan camera heads. The In-Sight line scan sensor is much more light-sensitive than the imagers used in most line scan cameras. This reduces the cost and complexity of the lighting and makes the In-Sight 5604 line scan vision system exceptionally easy to integrate into space-constrained areas on the manufacturing line. With support for hardware and software encoders, the In-Sight 5604 has the flexibility needed to solve the image acquisition challenges across a wide range of applications involving fast moving discrete parts on a conveyor, cylindrical parts or large parts.

Offering the same performance as the In-Sight 5400, Cognex’s In-Sight 5400R from TekSis is the smallest remote head system, weighing less than 2.5 ounces, and ideal for moving applications where the camera is mounted on the end of a robot arm, on a gantry or positioning stage, or wherever mounting space is limited.

The In-Sight 5400R has a separate camera and processor that can be mounted up to 15 metres apart and connected by a cable.  The camera meets IEC specifications for shock and vibration, and achieves an IP67 (NEMA 6) rating to withstand dust and washdown. 

The In-Sight 3400 remote head system requires no PC for setup, only a VGA display.  Both the In-Sight 3400 and 5400R models can be protected by an optional NEMA6/IP67-rated enclosure.

DVT vision systems available from TekSis, are low cost, full-featured vision systems in an economical package, providing the best price/performance value anywhere. The series includes a choice of models to meet a range of performance requirements, from simple part inspection to precise dimensional measurement.

The DVT product line offers a range of colour vision sensors with both increased speed and resolution up to 1280 x 1024. Dedicated colour tools in the Intellect software make applications like 24-bit colour monitoring, colour sorting, and identification easy for new users to deploy. Advanced users will appreciate the power of colour filters, colour blob processing, and the different colour spaces which can be monitored.
