Introducing the Future of Machine Vision Systems...

In-Sight Micro Series

Make it small. Make it smart. That’s what Cognex has achieved with the next-generation In-Sight Micro vision system.  In-Sight Micro packs a complete vision system into a remarkably small package that measures just 30mm x 30mm x 60mm. Together with the new, intuitive EasyBuilder^TM configuration software the In-Sight Micro will forever change the way people think about and use vision.

Smallest…

In-Sight Micro vision systems provide world-class performance in the smallest package available.  Five new In-Sight Micro models cover a range of price, performance and resolution levels – including a two-megapixel model. The In-Sight Micro is a full vision system the size of a remote-head camera, ideal for mounting in very tight spaces on robots, production lines and machinery.  In addition to small size, the In-Sight Micro provides flexible mounting capability with a unique non-linear calibration tool that enables mounting at angles of up to 45-degrees for hard-to-reach applications.

Smartest…

In-Sight Micro includes the proven Cognex vision tool library to handle the broadest range of vision applications for the widest array of industries. And the new EasyBuilder configuration software makes even the most powerful vision tools easy to use. EasyBuilder software makes In-Sight Micro remarkably easy to set up and deploy.  With a simple point and click approach, EasyBuilder walks users 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.

All-in-one user environment

In-Sight® Explorer™ is the new integrated user environment for In-Sight vision sensors that incorporates the familiar Microsoft Windows® interface. combining efficient vision application development with vision sensor network administration tools, In-Sight Explorer brings the power of Cognex In-Sight vision sensors to a new level.

This environment is provided on the entire line of network-enabled In-Sight vision sensors and greatly enhances the In-Sight spreadsheet development tool. Additionally, integrated utilities simplify system setup, monitoring, and management. This easy-to-use environment translates into lower cost of ownership and faster deployment of vision applications onto the factory floor.

Networking

In-Sight is not simply a stand-alone GO/NOGO system. With ethernet networking, you can link together In-Sights throughout your production process, creating a Vision Area Network. This means that all of the inspection data you gather can be used throughout your factory to further improve your processes.

In-Sight Vision Tools

In-Sight vision tools feature a full library of proven Cognex vision tools, enabling you to perform virtually any vision task. With over 300 tools available, applications can be built up using the spreadsheet interface to carry out inspection, gauging, guidance or identification. Because of the flexibility this allows, multiple checks can be built into a single project.

PatFind® is a supertool for part location. No other vision sensors use such powerful fixturing tools, meaning that all In-Sight products can repeatably and reliably locate the objects they are inspecting, even with changes in lighting, scale and angle.

OCV/OCR tools offer accurate and reliable Optical Character Verification and Optical Character Reading with the In-Sight package. Advanced recognition algorithms are used to allow for verification and reading even when characters are distorted or degraded.

Identification Tools allow In-Sight to read a wide range of industry standard 2D matrix and linear bar codes. This means that In-Sight cameras can be used to identify accurately identify components as well as inspect a wide variety of visual features.

Accessories

There is no need to spend time searching for lighting, communication modules, enclosures or monitors - they are all available.

Comparison Chart

In-Sight® 5450 & 5150

In-Sight 5450 and 5150 machine vision sensors are the highest performance models of the industry-leading family of In-Sight vision sensors. These rugged sensors are equipped with a full library of proven Cognex vision tools designed to handle a wide range of tasks which reduce the cost of ownership and speeds the deployment of vision applications onto the factory floor.

The In-Sight 5450 and 5150 set new standards for vision sensor performance. The In-Sight 5450 provides up to seven times the processing power of high-performance In-Sight 4000 models; the 5150 offers up to three times the performance of the popular In-Sight 1000 model.

In-Sight® 3400

The new In-Sight® 3400 is the highest-performance model of the Cognex family of machine vision sensors, with vision tool speeds more than four times faster than previously available on the In-Sight 2000 and 3000 models. It is equipped with a full library of proven Cognex vision tools and a unique vision spreadsheet for fast, easy application set-up.

Suitable for part location, measurement, identification, and assembly verification applications, the In-Sight 3400 is comprised of a rugged vision processing unit and a compact high-speed digital camera. Industrial M12 connectors ensure the mechanical and electrical integrity of all connections, and a heavy-gauge die-cast aluminum housing protects against shock and vibration. The In-Sight 3400 also features discrete I/O, a standard VGA output for real time display, and a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet port.

In-Sight 4100
A remote, industrial camera head version of the In-Sight 4000. A small, compact camera head allows use where space may be or environmental conditions demand a rugged camera head.

In-Sight 1700
An application specific In-Sight designed for the semiconductor industry. 2D matrix, alphanumeric and 1D bar codes can be reliably read on wafers. In-Sight 1700 is a complete identification solution, comprising illumination, processor and software all in a custom designed package.

In-Sight 1701
The new palm sized In-Sight® 1701 is an enhanced version of the In-Sight 1700 wafer reader. It offers high resolution and the most advanced optics technology ever available to ensure robust reading of degraded marks. The In-Sight 1701 is ideal for OCR and for reading T7 2D codes on 300mm wafers.
