In-Sight Product Guide - ControlVision

Vision has never been easier

The Cognex Advantage

Industry Leading Performance

Since the inception of Cognex over a quarter century ago, we’ve recognized that the true test of a vision system is that it works under real world conditions on the factory floor.

Performance is not just related to high-speed image acquisition and processing, but also to the combined power of the vision hardware and software. And that's what Cognex delivers.

This assures users reliable, repeatable performance even in the most challenging vision applications.

Exceptional Flexibility

The flexibility of the In-Sight ® family of vision systems can be defined in a number of ways: processing power, resolution, vision tools, connectivity, and operator interface. Whether you are a system integrator, machine builder, or end user, In-Sight vision systems come equipped with a seamless application builder and networking environment. And, Cognex offers the widest range of vision systems found in the industry with the

In-Sight product family, which means that you can match the correct platform to your application at the right price.

Unmatched Ease-of-Use

Ease-of-use is built into the heart of In-Sight vision systems starting with smart vision tools that automatically select features, set parameters, and operate in real world conditions without adjustment. Our EasyBuilder ® software interface offers everything required to easily set up reliable applications. With no programming needed, applications are deployed quickly.

In addition, In-Sight offers the most comprehensive and easiest to use connectivity suite of communications capabilities to interface to PLCs, robots, the factory network, and HMI devices.

Extreme Ruggedness

All In-Sight systems are self-contained, compact vision systems requiring no external processor or separate camera. In-Sight is the only family of vision systems available today that provide industrial grade features as standard. That means rugged, die-cast aluminum and stainless steel cases that can withstand punishment of vibration, and sealed M12 connectors and protective lens covers that provide IP67 and IP68 rated protection against dust and moisture. It all adds up to peace of mind on the factory floor.

In-Sight… for All Applications

Inspect

Cognex In-Sight vision systems help companies reduce scrap and re-work— which ultimately saves time and money—by inspecting products throughout the manufacturing process.

Industries from pharmaceutical to automotive to electronics rely on Cognex vision systems to ensure the end products they deliver to their customers meet the highest standards.

Guide

In-Sight vision systems are widely used with material handling systems and robots for general alignment and pick-and-place guidance in assembly and inspection applications with speed and accuracy, eliminating the need for expensive fixturing and enabling a new generation of flexible manufacturing.

The power of our patented PatMax ® geometric pattern finding tool and the support for many robot controller protocols makes integrating In-Sight vision systems into robotic applications faster and easier.

Identify

Whether identifying parts using barcodes, alphanumeric characters, or by shape or color, Cognex In-Sight vision systems reliably and accurately identify parts, even on the fastest production lines.

In-Sight vision systems provide unmatched 1D and 2D code reading performance and handle a wide range of degradation to the appearance of the code with the industry's most reliable read rates. Our powerful OCR tool reads text strings, even under varying conditions such as rotation, uneven lighting and confusing scenes.

And, our advanced color recognition tools can reliably distinguish between similar colors with high precision.

In-Sight Track & Trace for Healthcare

Ready for Serialization

The GS1 HUG ™ (Global Healthcare User Group) “strongly recommends investing in camera-based” systems for automatic identification. But as healthcare product manufacturers preparing for the coming global traceability standards already know, a successful transition to mass serialization of product packaging involves more than simply reading a barcode on a label; all of the data on the label must be verified for accuracy.

In-Sight Track & Trace ™ is up to the challenge.

Complete Identification and Data

Verification Solution

In-Sight Track & Trace works with networked In-Sight vision systems to create a complete identification and data verification solution for serialized labels on pharmaceutical and medical device packaging. Whether you’re looking for a standalone label inspection system, in the early stages of planning your traceability initiative, or you have active serialization projects, In-Sight Track & Trace can meet your needs today and equip you for tomorrow’s requirements.

• Reads 2D and 1D barcodes, including Data Matrix, GS1-128,

GS1 DataBar and Pharmacode

• Verifies correct ID code contents, including compliance with the GS1 Healthcare data standard

• Assesses Data Matrix code quality at runtime to detect print degradation

• Displays full color images, with graphic overlays and operator controls

• Verifies the accuracy of printed text

• Detects label misalignment and skew

• Provides a standard operator interface across enterprise

In-Sight Track & Trace is compatible with most In-Sight Micro and 5000 Series vision systems, allowing you to match the resolution and processing speed to the demands of your line.

With dozens of models available, there’s an In-Sight vision system to meet the price/performance requirements of any serialization application.

In-Sight Track & Trace provides a new approach to traceability that’s less expensive to install, less complex to validate, and less costly to maintain. Because it can be combined with a variety of third party products, pharmaceutical manufacturers have the flexibility to customize and scale their serialization solutions to best suit their budgets and needs.

1DMax is a best-in-class 1D barcode-reading tool optimized for omnidirectional barcode reading and can handle extreme variations in contrast, blur, damage, voids, specularity, resolution, quiet zone violations and perspective distortion.

2DMax is optimized for reading QR codes and handles a wide range of degradations to 2D Data Matrix code appearance that result from dramatic degradations in

Direct Part Marking (DPM) code quality due to differences in material types and surfaces. 2D Data Matrix code reading in DPM applications is an increasingly important part of manufacturing processes. An unreadable code may stop production, and can result in the part not being processed correctly.

Models

In-Sight Micro Series: 1110, 1410, 1413

In-Sight 5000 Series: 5110, 5410, 5411, 5413, 5610, 5613, 5614, 5615

Fast, Reliable Code Reading

Industrial identification is very challenging due to variations in mark appearance, uncertainty of part position and high production line speeds. The combination of sensor, processor architecture and optimized ID software, allows In-Sight fixed-mount readers to meet high-speed production requirements, while maintaining accurate reading.

Advantages

• Real-time reading of 1D and 2D codes at rates over 7200ppm

• Includes IDMax – the industry’s most reliable Data Matrix reading software

• Industry-standard mark quality assessment metrics for 1D and

2D codes

• Fast setup, plus reliable, robust operation

Notes:

1) All In-Sight vision systems have an input trigger and 2 high speed outputs built in. I/O modules are available for additional I/O on all In-Sight systems.

2) Speed rating compared to In-Sight Micro 1020 model and does not include image acquisition rate. The 5604 and 5614 models have acquisition speed rated in lines per second.
