Cognex Unveils Lightning Fast Vision Sensor May 01, 2007
According to the company, its In-Sight 5600 is the industry's fastest vision sensor, delivering unmatched speed and resolution. It employs the same rugged design as the In-Sight 5400 series, but with twice the processing speed and memory. The 5600 product line includes standard 640 x 480 resolution and 2-Mpixel 1,600 x 1,200 models, both of which have an IP67 (NEMA 4) rating to withstand dust and wash down without an accessory enclosure. Other features include a library of advanced vision software for inspection, identification, measurement, and alignment tasks, and the latest In-Sight Explorer software release 3.4 with enhanced optical character reading and verification tools, on-board image storage for reviewing inspection results without a PC, plus PROFINET support for communication with PLCs and other factory automation devices.
