Checker is a totally new, ultra high-speed feature checker.
It is ideal for checking that all the components are present on an assembly.
Checker is a great tool for solving many manufacturing problems that previously were difficult or impossible to solve with single photo sensors, multiple photo sensors or other similar devices.
"Checker is the first member of Cognex's new family of smart sensors".
"Unlike general purpose vision systems that can be programmed to perform a wide variety of tasks, each model in the Checker family will do only one thing, but it will do it extraordinarily fast and well," said Declan O'Dea, UK and Ireland Sales Manager at Cognex.

"This agreement combines Cognex's market-leading smart sensor technology with Parmley Graham's experience in distributing the most advanced industrial automation products to a broad range of industries".
"In doing this we have created a partnership which will bring true low cost, high-performance feature checking capability to UK manufacturers and OEMs"".
