At Global Industrie 2023, Cognex Corporation, world leader in industrial vision and identification solutions, will be presenting a wide range of solutions, such as 2D and 3D sensors and systems, vision software and barcode readers, which make cutting-edge technology accessible to the widest possible audience.
Popular with the world's leading manufacturers, suppliers and machine builders, Cognex solutions save resources and improve production quality and performance by eliminating defects, verifying assembly and tracking information at every stage of the production process.
Among the new Cognex solutions presented at Global Industrie 2023:
- The In-Sight 2800 series vision system for easier error detection
The In-Sight 2800 offers the power of a complete vision system in an easy-to-use package that gets applications up and running in minutes. Accessible to all skill levels, regardless of prior vision or programming experience, it combines artificial intelligence (AI) with classic rule-based vision tools to solve a wide range of applications.
In particular, it enables defects to be detected at an early stage, well before components reach the next assembly stage. It can be trained with just a few images to automate everything from simple pass/fail inspections to advanced categorization and sorting, presence/absence or label detection. It meets the needs of optical character recognition (OCR) applications for traceability, expiry date reading and more.
The new In-Sight 2800 system also offers a wide range of field-modifiable accessories and components to help users adapt quickly to changes such as new parts, faster line speeds and higher quality standards.
- In-Sight D900 vision system automates complex applications with AI
The In-Sight vision system D900 automates complex applications that are too difficult to deploy with conventional rules-based machine vision and require reliable, fast and consistent results that are impossible to achieve with human inspection.
Integrated with a comprehensive suite of edge learning and deep learning tools, the In-Sight D900 can perform a whole range of tasks - from detecting and classifying defects and anomalies on complex parts and surfaces, to fast and accurate assembly verification and optical character recognition (OCR) of different angles and sizes. Processing is carried out on the device, eliminating the need for a PC, simplifying application deployment and enabling non-programmers to harness the power of artificial intelligence (AI).
Extremely flexible in design, the In-Sight D900 includes field-modifiable lighting, lenses, filters and housings, which can be customized to meet current and future application needs.
- Les lectors imagers for DataMan barcodes ensure traceability and increase compliance
Cognex industrial image readers read 1D and 2D codes, from printed labels to the hardest-to-read DPM codes in logistics and manufacturing applications. Unsurpassed read rates, advanced technologies, modular options and easy configuration help reduce costs, optimize performance, increase throughput and control traceability.
Imaging code readers offer higher read rates than laser scanners; they acquire images of the codes to analyze the data and provide feedback on barcode quality.
Their modular design means they can be adapted to a wide range of industrial environments, such as confined spaces. With no moving parts to wear out, maintenance costs are reduced.
Offering advanced features such as a web browser, they enable users to deploy applications in 5 minutes, and configure several devices at once, reducing maintenance costs and improving productivity.
Advanced machine vision technologies for the masses
Cognex machine vision provides the power and flexibility to solve the most complex manufacturing applications. Whether for inspection or robot guidance, Cognex has developed AI or rule-based algorithms that encompass classification, defect detection, feature localization, optical character recognition (OCR), measurement and more.
Cognex AI learns to spot patterns and anomalies from typical images. It solves complicated, time-consuming tasks while delivering consistency and speed unattainable with manual inspection.
