Cognex ultra-compact smart camera delivers PC-class performance

Cognex Corporation launches a new series of ultra-compact stand-alone vision systems - the In-Sight Micro 8000 Series smart cameras . The In-Sight Micro 8000 Series delivers industry-leading vision tool performance at PC speeds in the same form factor as traditional "point-and-shoot" GigE Vision® cameras.

“As line speeds increase, manufacturers are now demanding higher accuracy, larger fields of view and faster vision tool performance, all while requiring complete independence from factory PCs,” said Joerg Kuechen, vice president and business unit manager, Vision Products. Combining the fast frame rates of Standalone Vision Systems' In-Sight Micro 8000 Series smart cameras with PatMax RedLine™ high-speed pattern matching, our customers gain optimal resolution, speed and performance even on their fastest production lines. This allows customers to reduce cycle times, increase productivity, increase resolution without reducing throughput, and perform additional inspections without increasing cycle times." Like all In-Sight vision systems, these
new models Setup can also be easily accomplished through the powerful In-Sight Explorer software. The software combines the simplicity of EasyBuilder® step-by-step setup with the power of flexible spreadsheet views for greater control. In addition to PatMax RedLine technology, the In-Sight Micro 8000 can use these industry-proven In-Sight vision tools at high-performance PC speeds. What's more, these features require less space than an industrial photo camera.
Measuring only 31mm x 31mm x 63mm, the In-Sight Micro 8000 series with Power over Ethernet function can reduce wiring as much as possible, so that vision systems can be integrated into robots and hard-to-reach machinery. within the space. You can deploy it anywhere along the production line for guidance, inspection, measurement and industrial identification applications.
