Vision sensor line expands

Checker 232, the newest Checker vision sensor from Cognex, is designed to inspect small features over a wide area. It provides reliable inspection results on fast production lines, detecting and inspecting up to 1500 ppm.

Cognex says that Checker 232 is ideal for applications where small features are being inspected on large parts, such as the inspection of clips and springs on large automotive assemblies. Checker sensors use multi-image analysis to determine if a part is present without an external trigger, simplifying installation. This capability enables Checker to track parts in varying positions along the production line, overcoming imprecise part positioning and delivering consistent pass/fall results.
