Cognex vision sensor boasts easy setup without a PC
-- Test & Measurement World, 4/2/2009 9:00:00 AM
Joining the Cognex Checker line of vision sensors is the Checker 3G, a device that does not require a PC for setup. Instead, the SensorView teach pendant, with its One-Click Setup function, allows you to configure the sensor right on the production line and have it running in a matter of minutes.
With the Checker 3G, you can choose whether to configure the sensor as a presence or measurement sensor. A presence sensor verifies that features are present. A measurement sensor verifies that features are the correct height, width, and/or diameter. In either mode, there is no limit to the number of part features that a single Checker 3G sensor can verify. The device is also able to detect and track over 6000 ppm in varying positions along the production line, overcoming imprecise part positioning and delivering consistent, precisely timed pass/fail results.
The SensorView teach pendant is a compact, rugged panel-mount display. A single teach pendant can be used to set up any number of Checker 3G sensors and can remain connected for real-time application monitoring. More than just a display, SensorView provides production statistics and a user-definable view of the part that Checker is inspecting. It allows you to monitor production processes, change jobs, or retrain patterns without a PC.
Key to the simplicity of the Checker 3G sensor is its One-Click Setup. By simply clicking on the feature in the image that you want to inspect, Checker automatically creates a sensor, learns the feature attributes, and set the appropriate pass/fail criteria.
