Thanks to its modular structure, the In-Sight 7000 series can be used in the most varied of industries.

The Easybuilder interface of the In-Sight Explorer software allows an easy introduction to the standard applications of image processing.

in production. There are hardly any down times, because the systems can be rapidly substituted for an upgrade. John Keating comments: “Now you can acquire replacement parts within 48 hours. The replacement devices can be easily exchanged and rapidly configured, because the settings are assumed from the prior system.” The expense in personnel and time is reduced because the work with the same user interface enables high efficiency without a great deal of training in any stage of development. The in-house expertise in the operation of the Vision systems reduces support costs. In terms of long-term corporate strategy, the standardization of image processing and its underlying software platform is a sensible step in automation, which many companies are already using. Cognex technology offers protection for your investment, because the industry leaders will also offer state-of-the-art hardware and software in the future. A guarantee for this is Cognex’ continual investment in research and development. A total of 900 patents prove this, and establish Cognex as a technology leader. In addition, the company is represented by 500 partners in 30 countries, and thus provides established on-site support anywhere in the world.

processing system. A large selection of illumination modules, optical filters and polarizers can be switched in and out without problems to fulfil the special requirements of an application. The broad palette of field changeable C-mount and S-mount lenses as well as industrial autofocus lens options increase the versatility. Standardization in the Vision sector is a strategic decision. For companies, standardization to one software platform means future- proofing technology and reliability

character recognition. Thus In-Sight users achieve maximum performance in inspection tasks, while at the same time keeping errors to a minimum. In-Sight 7000 (G2) is a high- performance image processing system equipped with many functions. With its versatility, it is suitable for rapid and precise inspections of the most diverse parts, regardless of industry. Thanks to its compact size, it fits in seamlessly to production lines with limited space. The improved performance keeps pace with increasing line speeds. The modular design of the In-Sight 7000 has over 400 different field configurations, and makes it the most flexible image
