The first four models in the CIC range are compact (29 x 29 mm), monochrome, matrix cameras, designed to meet the most common resolution, speed and price requirements of the machine vision market. Other models will be announced at a later date.
" Machine builders can now show their customers that they have integrated Cognex vision software into their machines, which represents a considerable competitive advantage.explains Joerg Kuechen, Vice President and General Manager of Cognex's Vision Software Division. And users can easily recognize systems that use Cognex software by identifying the yellow Cognex industrial cameras on their line.. "
Integration within VisionPro software provides access to a complete library of machine vision tools, from geometric object location and inspection algorithms to identification and measurement algorithms. Combined with a powerful, flexible development interface, VisionPro software makes it easy to create and deploy solutions for the most challenging machine vision applications.
