Figure 3. Users need to coordinate and combine the results from multiple cameras. no matter how many cameras are installed in the system. The resulting improved performance helps keep pace with fast-moving production lines, and also provides the flexibility to solve applications with sequential or asynchronous inspections. Simple configuration and efficient data handling

software. The graphical workflow interface simplifies vision application setup as the inspection steps are displayed as a series of blocks that handle acquisition, image processing and communication. The workflow diagrams provide flexible control of triggering and acquisition, separates the inspection into manageable blocks and provides access to the In-Sight spreadsheet interface. Users can simply drag and drop the blocks and move them around

camera vision system by Cognex distributes the vision processing between multiple smart cameras, and so expands the range of possible multi-camera inspection applications. Because each smart camera has its own processor adding cameras increases the overall computational power available to the system. In turn, this means that powerful Cognex vision tools can be used on each camera without adversely affecting the system as a whole,

The In-Sight VC200 multi-camera applications are easy to set up with the powerful In-Sight VC Explorer
