Every once in a while, a new product comes along that changes everything. Microsoft Windows; Google; iPhone; each one was groundbreaking, not necessarily in its technology, but in the way it brought that technology together and made it accessible to everyone.
The 2800 is a new smart camera that can be used to automate visual inspections. It brings together deep learning technology and traditional automated vision inspection tools in an easy-to-use way to solve all kinds of application challenges.
Designed for factory automation, it allows manufacturers to solve complex application challenges, increase product quality, maximise operational efficiency and customise hardware for specific application needs.
Product quality: Catch small, subtle defects with highly accurate, deep learning-based error detection capable of solving applications and classifying parts with variation based on multiple defect types or user-defined features.
Customise hardware for specific application needs: Modular solutions with integrated lights and lenses takes the guesswork out of image optimisation. Identifying the correct combination of accessories for your application is only a few button clicks away.
Possible applications include categorisation, quality checks on fast moving consumer goods, pack checks for sealing issues or defect inspection on cables, gears or gaskets, for example. Anywhere that classic vision technologies would struggle.
There are still countless examples of companies using unreliable manual checks for routine inspections. The 2800 can automate those inspections and solve application challenges that could previously not be automated, at an affordable price.
Intuitive development environment simplifies setup : With its point-and-click programming, the EasyBuilder interface guides developers step-by-step through setting up the In-Sight 2800. From image capture to the final result and beyond, both new and experienced users are able to configure vision applications.
Innovative edge learning tools automate tasks, fast: The In-Sight 2800 is embedded with powerful ViDi EL tools that leverage a pre-trained set of deep learning algorithms to solve complex applications, like advanced segmentation and classification, in minutes. Training is simple, requiring as few as five to ten images per class and delivering reliable results in real-time.
Advanced multi-class functionality provides ultimate flexibility: Go beyond the standard OK/NG output with the ViDi EL Classifier tool. The tool identifies and sorts parts based on multiple features or characteristics. This enables users to classify defects into different categories and correctly identify parts with variation, allowing them to automate a wider range of tasks.
NATICK, Mass., April 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cognex Corporation (NASDAQ: CGNX), the leader in industrial machine vision, today released the In-Sight L38 3D Vision System, which combines AI, 2D, and 3D vision technologies to solve a range of inspection and measurement applications. The system creates unique projection images that combine 3D information into an easy-to-label 2D image for simplified training and reveals features not visible with traditional 2D imaging. AI tools detect variable or undefined features, while rule-based algorithms provide 3D measurements to deliver reliable inspection results.
"In factory automation, where fast deployment and reliability are not just desired but essential, the In-Sight L38 offers both," said Carl Gerst, Executive Vice President of Vision and ID Products. "It's more than a 3D vision system. It's an AI-powered solution for achieving new levels of quality and performance in automated inspections."
The In-Sight L38 greatly simplifies the process of configuring 3D systems thanks to embedded AI technology that uses pre-trained models with domain-specific data. Example-based training replaces complex programming steps, which previously required combining many traditional rule-based tools, to streamline application development. The unique AI-powered 3D tools can be set up in minutes, requiring as few as 5 to 10 labeled images to automate a task. With one tool, users can detect challenging defects, gauge variances in three dimensions, and get results in real-world units.
Patented, speckle-free laser optics in the In-Sight L38 minimize visual noise and glare to capture higher resolution images than traditional laser displacement sensors, while a high-powered laser delivers fast acquisition rates to support high line speeds. The high-powered laser meets Class 2 safety standards, eliminating the need for expensive enclosures, and offers more light than traditional systems, which lowers exposure requirements and allows for increased line speeds.
The In-Sight L38 Vision System reflects Cognex's commitment to innovation, setting new standards for 3D inspection and driving advancements in manufacturing automation. For more information, visit cognex.com/in-sight-l38 or call 1-855-4-COGNEX.
About Cognex CorporationCognex Corporation invents and commercializes technologies that address some of the most critical manufacturing and distribution challenges. We are a leading global provider of machine vision products and solutions that improve efficiency and quality in high-growth-potential businesses across attractive industrial end markets. Our solutions blend physical products and software to capture and analyze visual information, allowing for the automation of manufacturing and distribution tasks for customers worldwide. Machine vision products are used to automate the manufacturing or distribution and tracking of discrete items, such as mobile phones, electric vehicle batteries and e-commerce packages, by locating, identifying, inspecting, and measuring them. Machine vision is important for applications in which human vision is inadequate to meet requirements for size, accuracy, or speed, or in instances where substantial cost savings or quality improvements are maintained.
Cognex is the world's leader in the machine vision industry, having shipped more than 4 million image-based products, representing over $10 billion in cumulative revenue, since the company's founding in 1981. Headquartered in Natick, Massachusetts, USA, Cognex has offices and distributors located throughout the Americas, Europe, and Asia. For details, visit cognex.com.
Cognex vision helps companies improve product quality, eliminate production errors, lower manufacturing costs, and exceed consumer expectations for high quality products at an affordable price. Typical applications for machine vision include detecting defects, monitoring production lines, guiding assembly robots, and tracking, sorting and identifying parts.
Cognex serves an international customer base from offices located throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia, and through a global network of integration and distribution partners. The company is headquartered close to Boston in Natick, Massachusetts, USA
Cognex Corp., a US-based supplier of machine-vision devices and systems for industry, has announced that it will acquire the Japan-based optical-components firm Moritex Corp. from Trustar Capital, the Chinese private-equity firm that has owned Moritex since 2016. The total price-tag of the all-cash transaction is 40 billion (US$274 million). Cognex expects the deal to close by the end of 2023 and looks for Moritex to begin contributing to the bottom line by 2025.
The Moritex purchase comes amid a challenging period for Cognex, attributable to ongoing weakness in the global economy. At the beginning of August, the machine-vision firm reported that its sales for the second quarter of calendar 2023 had softened by nearly 12% year to year, with a fractional decline in net income over the same period.
