April 26, 2017 - Cognex Corporation introduced the second generation In-Sight 7000 series, a suite of modular standalone vision systems. This vision system performs precise inspections that keeps pace with increasing line speeds. The In-Sight 7000’s modular design offers over 400 different field configurations.
The In-Sight 7000 is IP67-rated and includes Flexible Image Technology. This complete vision system features a patent-pending LED ring light that produces even, diffused illumination across the entire image. A variety of light colors, optical filters and polarizers can easily be swapped in to meet specific application requirements. Plus, the range of field-changeable C-mount and S-mount lenses and industrial, mechanical autofocus lens options enhance versatility.
Like all Cognex In-Sight vision systems, the In-Sight 7000 uses In-Sight Explorer to set up and monitor machine vision inspections. This software includes the EasyBuilder interface for step-by-step application setup and the In-Sight spreadsheet view for greater control. The system also includes a full set of In-Sight vision tools, including PatMax RedLine pattern matching technology, OCRMax optical character recognition and SurfaceFX feature extraction technology.
