Cognex has introduced what it’s calling the ‘ultimate vision system’ that is small, tough and smart – the In-Sight 7000 smart camera. This new system series features powerful vision tools, faster image capture, the capability to power and control a range of external lighting and enough input/output capacity for virtually any inspection scenario – all in a compact, industrial IP67 package that makes the system ideal for more applications than ever before.
In-Sight 7000 smart camera users can rely on the Cognex vision tool library for reliable, repeatable performance in even the most challenging vision applications. Proven In-Sight measurement, location and inspection vision tools and the flexible EasyBuilder environment make all inspection, defect detection, guidance, alignment and measurement applications easy to set up and deploy. The In-Sight 7000 series offers many model options, all with a tough metal IP67 package, including models that provide acquisition speeds of over 100 image captures per second. These high acquisition speeds allow users to reliably inspect products on even the fastest bottling and pharmaceutical production lines. Unlike some other vision systems, the In-Sight 7000 smart camera has the capability to power and control specialised lighting directly and eliminates the need for external power supplies. With three input and three output connections, In-Sight 7000 has sufficient capacity to meet the needs associated with virtually many inspection applications.
Additional features of the In-Sight 7000 smart camera include Cognex Connect, which offers a wide range of built-in communication protocols that interface directly with the vision system. The compact In-Sight 7000 features built-in Ethernet, RS-232 serial and multiple discrete I/Os. The system can communicate directly to virtually any PLC or robot controller and manage multiple smart cameras remotely from a networked PC or HMI, simplifying implementation and reducing costs.
