Cognex says that Wieland-Werke AG, one of the world's largest copper strip manufacturers, has integrated Cognex's SmartView ICN web inspection system on its copper pickling line in Germany.
"The In-Sight 5400R delivers the same ruggedness and performance as the In-Sight 5400, yet the camera is about the size of a C-cell battery and can fit into very small spaces," said Kris Nelson, Cognex senior vice president, Vision Sensors.
"The camera weighs less than 2.5 ounces, which also makes it ideal for moving applications where the camera is mounted on the end of a robot arm, on a gantry or on a positioning stage." The In-Sight 5400R has a separate camera and processor that can be mounted up to 15m apart and connected by a cable.
The camera meets IEC specifications for shock and vibration, and achieved an IP67 (NEMA 6) rating to withstand dust and wash down.
As with other In-Sight 5000 Series vision sensors, the In-Sight 5400R includes a powerful library of vision software for automatic identification, gauging, inspection and alignment, as well as built-in Ethernet communications and In-Sight Explorer software with advanced tools to simplify application development and network administration.
PatMax, the industry's performance standard for feature and object location, is available as an option.
The In-Sight 5400R is available now. Request a free brochure from Cognex UK ...
