The next-generation In-Sight Micro from Cognex is a full vision system that is the size of a remote-head camera, suitable for mounting in tight spaces on robots, production lines, and machinery. Its small package is just 30x30x60 mm.
In addition to its tiny size, the In-Sight Micro provides flexible mounting with a unique nonlinear calibration tool that enables mounting at angles of up to 45 degrees for hard-to-reach applications.
Five In-Sight Micro models cover a range of price, performance, and resolution levels, including a 2-Megapixel model. In-Sight Micro includes the Cognex vision tool library to handle a broad range of vision applications in a wide array of industries.
The In-Sight Micro comes with EasyBuilder configuration software, which simplifies setup and deployment. Just point and click, while EasyBuilder walks you through the process of setting up a vision application step by step. EasyBuilder eliminates the need for programming, yet provides the flexibility to customize complex applications when needed.
In-Sight Micro also features the VisionView 700 operator interface display for monitoring production processes without a PC. Once connected, VisionView automatically detects any Cognex vision system on the network and simultaneously displays information from up to nine vision systems in a tiled view.
