.jpg) Natick, MA, July 19, 2005-Cognex Corporation (NASDAQ - CGNX), the world's leading supplier of machine vision systems today announced a new series of free machine vision seminars exclusively for manufacturing professionals. The popular Understanding and Applying Machine Vision Sensors half-day events show how vision sensors can perform automated inspection tasks in the automotive, medical, pharmaceutical, food, beverage, consumer packaged goods, and electronics industries. Each seminar combines a machine vision basics tutorial with live vision sensor demonstrations that show how to use machine vision. The tutorial covers how vision sensors work in manufacturing applications to accurately gauge, guide, identify and inspect products in order to reduce production costs and achieve a high level of product quality. In addition to walking away with an understanding of the fundamentals of implementing a successful vision solution, participants will receive free trial software on a CD, which provides hands-on experience developing vision applications from start to finish. The CD also includes application examples, preliminary design considerations, a multi-media tutorial on building vision applications, lighting and optics videos, and a utility package that helps determine the field of view and resolution requirements of vision applications. The seminars run from August through December and are held in major cities throughout the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. Readers can register for a seminar online at www.cognex.com/seminar or by calling 1-800-677-2646.
