Compact smart camera delivers PC-level performance
Cognex Corporation (cognex.com), the world’s leader in machine vision, introduced the In-Sight® Micro 8000 series smart cameras, a new family of ultra-compact, standalone vision systems. The In-Sight Micro 8000 series delivers industry-leading vision tool performance at PC speeds, all in the form factor of a traditional “dumb” GigE Vision® camera.
“As line speeds increase, manufacturers demand greater accuracy, larger fields of view, and faster vision tool performance—all without a PC on the factory floor,” says Joerg Kuechen, vice president and business unit manager, Vision Products. “By combining the blazing fast frame rates of a tiny, self-contained In-Sight Micro 8000 series smart camera, with the lightning speed of PatMax RedLine™ pattern matching, our customers can optimize resolution, speed and performance on even their fastest production lines. This allows them to reduce cycle times, boost productivity, increase resolution without any loss of throughput, or perform additional inspections without increasing cycle times.”
