Cognex introduces the In-Sight Micro 8000 Series smart cameras, a new range of ultra-compact stand-alone vision systems. The In-Sight Micro 8000 Series delivers state-of-the-art vision tool performance at PC speeds, all in a traditional GigE Vision camera format.
" As line speeds increase, manufacturers are demanding greater precision, a wider field of vision and faster performance from vision tools - all without PCs on the shop floor, explains Joerg Kuechen, Vice-President and Head of the Vision Products Division. By combining the very fast acquisition speeds of a small, stand-alone In-Sight Micro 8000 Series smart camera with the lightning speed of Paax RedLine geometric recognition, our customers can optimize resolution, speed and performance, even on the fastest production lines. This enables them to reduce cycle times, boost productivity, increase resolution without loss of yield, or carry out additional inspections without lengthening cycle times. "
Like all In-Sight vision systems, these new models include the powerful In-Sight Explorer software. This software combines the simple step-by-step set-up of EasyBuilder with the power and flexibility of spreadsheet display for control. In addition to Paax RedLine technology, the In-Sight Micro 8000 Series exploits these proven In-Sight vision tools at speeds that previously required a powerful PC. All contained in a housing the size of an industrial image-capture camera.
The In-Sight Micro 8000 Series measures just 31mm x 31mm x 63mm. It includes power over Ethernet cable, which reduces wiring and makes these vision systems ideal for integration in tight spaces on robots and machines that are difficult to access. They can be deployed anywhere on the production line for guidance, inspection, measurement and industrial identification applications.
