Cognex Corporation introduces an expanded portfolio of three dimensional (3D) laser displacement sensors, an industrial
vision controller, and 3D vision tools.
The DS1050, DS1101, and DS1300 sensors address an unprecedented variety of 3D applications demanding high resolution and expanded measurement range.
The DS1000 series comes bundled with the new Cognex VC5 vision controller to meet 3D requirements.
The VC5 can control up to four 3D sensors, as well as factory-floor communications.
It comes pre-installed with Cognex Designer, an easy-to-configure software framework that simplifies the development of 3D applications and creation of a professional-looking graphical user interface.
The DS1000 Series now also offers an expanded selection of advanced vision tools.
In addition to two dimensional vision tools PatMax, IDMax and OCRMax, the DS1000 Series offers 3D tools such as 3D height, plane fitting, plane-to-plane angle, volume, and cross section.
This combination enables the DS1000 series to perform virtually all 3D inspections – delivering sub-micron measurement and addressing contrast-independent optical character recognition and presence/absence applications.
The DS1000 series of 3D displacement sensors uses laser triangulation to extract 3D information from the parts it scans.
The displacement sensors allow precision inspection of parts regardless of contrast or lighting conditions.
The series is factory-calibrated for fast, consistent mounting and eliminates the need to go through a calibration procedure or pixel conversion process to acquire precision measurements in real-world units.
