THE NEED FOR

AUTOMATED INSPECTION

Increased throughput, higher quality, and lower
costs are key drivers for automated inspection in
manufacturing. Manual inspection can be slow,
prone to errors, and often impossible considering
the product size, lighting conditions, or line speed.

Given these factors, companies in a wide range of
industries rely on vision sensors to perform simple
pass/fail inspections that help ensure products
and packaging are error-free and meet strict
quality standards. Cognex vision sensors provide
easy and reliable inspections thanks to powerful
vision tools, integrated lighting, modularity, and an
easy-to-use setup environment.

In-Sight Explorer

IN-SIGHT 2D VISION SOFTWARE

All In-Sight 2D products, from vision sensors to vision systems, are congured with the powerful, yet intuitive

In-Sight Explorer software. The easy-to-use interface walks you step by step through the setup process and

provides the power and exibility of the vision spreadsheet for more di󰀩cult applications. In-Sight Explorer also
o󰀨ers the widest range of built-in communication protocols that interface directly to any PLC, robot, or HMI on the

factory network.

EasyBuilder

The EasyBuilder conguration environment

guides users through a step-by-step setup
process allowing both novice and experienced

operators to congure vision applications quickly

and easily on vision sensors and vision systems.

Easy-to-deploy HMI

Cognex In-Sight sensors and systems o󰀨er multiple

runtime visualization options, including VisionView

— available as a ready-to-deploy LCD touch

panel and as a PC application — and a platform

independent Web HMI that runs in any internet
browser. Both VisionView and the Web HMI allow

users to view inspection images and results and to
modify setup parameters.

POWERFUL IN-SIGHT VISION TOOLS

The EasyBuilder interface provides access to a selection of powerful vision tools:

Location

Pattern, edge, and circle tools

locate (or xture) the part so

other vision tools can use this
as a reference to complete
their inspections.

Counting

Counting patterns and edge

features conrm the correct

number of items are present on a
conveyer or in a package.

Brightness, contrast, pattern,
pixel count, edge, and circle
tools determine the presence or
absence of a part.

OCR*

Uses Cognex’s OCRMax
auto-tune feature to quickly and
easily read high-quality characters
on a variety of surfaces.

MeasurementPresence/absence

Distance, angle, and circle
diameter measurements verify
a part’s features are the correct
size and in the correct position
and orientation.

Blob*

Determines the presence or
absence of non-uniform objects.

Image Filters*

More than 25 unique image ltering

tools including binarize, edge
magnitude, and stretch which can
be used as a pre-processing step for
subsequent vision tools.

*Available on IS2000-230 and IS20001-230 models.

A wheel hub bearing is
checked for the presence
of quality control (QC)
marks before moving
to the next stage of
assembly. The absence
of the QC marks indicates
that the hub bearing has
not yet been inspected.

A fuel bowl gasket is
inspected to verify that
all 13 through holes have
been punched out. A
missing hole will cause
the part to fail.
