The In-sight laser profiler is an easy-to-use measurement system for inspecting and verifying product dimensions. The In-sight laser profiler is a measurement system used to verify dimensionality for gauging, inspection, and ID applications. The In-sight laser profiler is configured using the In-sight EasyBuilder user interface. The intuitive, easy-to-use software makes it simple for manufacturing and quality engineers to develop, deploy, and support accurate and reliable measurements on the factory floor.
Cognex In-Sight Laser Profiler
FEATURES
Set up and deploy in 4 easy steps:
- Acquire profile- with the click of a button, profile optimisation technology renders the most accurate outline of your part.
- Locate object- Sophisticated object detection technology minimises the need for costly fixturing and ensures measurements are performed in the correct location.
- Measure- Flexible In-sight laser profiler toolset extracts features, constructs reference points, counts key features, and verifies whether a product has been manufactured within tolerance.
- Communicate results- Measurements are sent to a PLC or an overall pass/fail is sent directly to a discrete output. Profiles and measurements can be sorted on a controller from downstream analysis or quality control logging.
Monitor production line activity from anywhere on the factory floor: The In-sight laser profile offers mobile, platform-independent visualisation for accessing HMIs (human machine interfaces) from anywhere on the network. An HTML-based user interface allows users to monitor production line activity from any laptop, tablet, smart phone, or other mobile devices.
Trusted technology for reliable, repeatable results: The In-sight laser profiler system combines Cognex displacement sensor heads with the In-sight VC200 vision controller. Using industry-leading algorithms, the system extracts the profile, performs highly accurate measurements, and analyses the results. Advanced vision tools provide an accurate surface location even if the surface has defects.
