.jpg) Natick, MA, April 10, 2007 - Cognex Corporation announced In-Sight 5600, the world’s fastest vision sensor. In-Sight 5600 vision sensors offer the same rugged design and outstanding performance as the In-Sight 5400 series, but with twice the processing speed and memory to perform inspections at line rates no other vision sensors can match. “Since their introduction, In-Sight 5000 series vision sensors have helped many manufacturers achieve significant improvements in productivity, quality and cost reduction,” said Kris Nelson, Cognex Senior Vice President, Factory Automation. “Now, with the In-Sight 5600, customers can achieve similar gains on their fastest production lines.” The In-Sight 5600 product line includes standard (640x480) resolution and two-megapixel (1600x1200) models that deliver reliable performance in high-speed applications. All In-Sight vision sensors have an IP67 (NEMA 4) rating to withstand dust and wash down without an accessory enclosure, and include a powerful library of advanced vision software for inspection, identification, measurement, and alignment tasks. Cognex is also pleased to announce the latest In-Sight Explorer software release 3.4 with enhanced optical character reading and verification tools, onboard image storage for reviewing inspection results without a PC, plus PROFINET support for easy communication to Siemens PLCs and other factory automation devices. PatMax, the industry’s performance standard for feature and object location, is available as an option. In-Sight 5600 vision sensors and In-Sight Explorer 3.4 are available now.
