Good news – Cognex introduces the In-Sight 3D-L4000 embedded vision system

Good news, Cognex announces the In-Sight® 3D-L4000 embedded vision system. It is an innovative smart camera with 3D laser displacement technology that enables users to solve a range of inspection applications on automated production lines quickly, accurately and cost-effectively.

"The In-Sight 3D-L4000 vision system solves both of these pain points by providing a large suite of 3D vision tools that make 3D inspection as easy to use and as expensive as the industry's most advanced In-Sight 2D vision tool. Thus breaking down the barriers of the past. ”

The 3D-L4000 vision system combines Cognex's patented, speckle-free blue laser optics, a full suite of 3D vision tools, and a flexible In-Sight spreadsheet. This all-in-one solution enables the rapid acquisition and processing of high-quality 3D images in in-line inspection, guidance and measurement applications.

The 3D-L4000 vision system expands the types of inspections that can be performed by allowing users to use vision tools directly to the 3D image of the component compared to traditional systems, providing greater accuracy. In addition, because the inspection is carried out in 3D, the user can immediately experience how the vision tools are operated on the actual component.

The 3D-L4000 vision system offers a wide range of traditional 3D measurement tools commonly used by users, such as plane fitting and height measurement, as well as a complete set of newly designed 3D vision tools to perform inspections in 3D space.

In addition, the intuitive In-Sight spreadsheet interface requires no programming or external processing, making it quick and easy to set up and run 3D applications. With a complete set of I/O and communication features, the user interface simplifies application development and factory integration. What's more, the system can also combine 2D and 3D vision tools in the same application to ensure faster deployment.

The In-Sight 3D-L4000 vision system is also extremely versatile, offering three factory-calibrated field of view options, making it ideal for a wide range of industries, including food and beverage, consumer goods, packaging, automotive, medical devices, electronics, and more.
