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
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
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.
Thanks to its modular structure, the In-Sight 7000
series can be used in the most varied of industries.
More challenging tasks can be performed by advanced users
using spread-sheets in In-Sight Explorer.
The Easybuilder interface of the In-Sight Explorer
software allows an easy introduction to the
standard applications of image processing.
