Cognex adds new model to Checker vision-sensor product line
US-based Cognex Corp, a major supplier of machine-vision systems and vision sensors, has expanded its Checker vision-sensor product line with the addition of the Checker 252 model.
This model includes all inspection capabilities of the firm's Checker vision-sensor family, plus additional software that verifies height, width and diameter, and delivers reliable 'pass' or 'fail' results on high-speed production lines.
Key to the simplicity of the Checker 252 is its 'one-click' set-up, says the company. By simply clicking on the centre of the part feature to be inspected, an image of a familiar 'calliper' appears and locks on the edges of the part feature, sets the minimum and maximum thresholds, and learns edge polarity - all automatically.
"With its unique screen 'calliper', the Checker 252 makes pass/fail measurement verification simple and reliable," commented Pascal Dorster, Manager, Vision Sensors Business Unit, Cognex.
"Manufacturers in many industries, such as the automotive and packaging sectors, can now verify dimensions of parts with very low-contrast edges and solve a wide range of measurement verification tasks that was not possible using photoelectric sensors."
As with other Checker models, the 252 is available with Cognex's SensorView 350 - a compact, industrial panel-mount display.
