The In-Sight 4001 provides resolution to 1024 x 768 and is designed for use in applications that require increased definition.
Whether used in automotive, electronic, pharmaceutical or packaging industries, there are many cases where higher resolution will offer a better solution, for example: a.
To capture a complete image in one shot, rather than using multiple cameras or moving a single camera between points.
b.
Viewing features on a large object where they are not close enough together to use a standard resolution camera.
c.
For higher accuracy when carrying out measurements or gauging a component.
d.
Where features on an image are small and require increased definition Peter Neve, International Marketing Director says "This represents a breakthrough in low-cost vision technology.
Never before has it been possible to combine the highest resolution camera with the most powerful vision toolkit - all built into a single, robust module".
Each In-Sight 4001 sensor is equipped with built-in Ethernet communications, a full library of proven Cognex vision tools for locating, inspecting, measuring, and identifying parts, and a spreadsheet interface for fast, easy application set up.
Using Ethernet communications, In-Sight 4001 can pass information to and from other In-Sight sensors, as well as communicating with a huge range of other devices.
In-Sight 4001 is equipped with all vision software tools pre-installed.
A number of optional In-Sight-compatible accessories are available including LED-based lighting modules, an Ethernet workstation, network gateway modules, and industrial camera enclosures. Request a free brochure from Cognex UK ...
