Calibrated 3D Laser Profiler
DS1000 optimizes product quality with 3D inspections

The Cognex DS1000 optimizes product quality by providing three-dimensional inspection of your products. The DS1000 Series displacement sensors provide an integrated digital camera and laser stripe illuminator, mounted in a single mechanically robust package.

The VC5 vision controller is a compact, network-ready vision controller that can be directly connected to the DS1000 extending the sensors capabilities by providing:

Direct VGA output
8 inputs, optically isolated
16 outputs, optically isolated
Encoder inputs for connecting a single-ended or differential encoder
RS-232 for serial communications

IXP SCARA Robot

Stepper motor-based SCARA robot

The new stepper motor-based IXP SCARA robot utilizes technology from the PowerCON 150 (PCON-CA) controller for high performance at a lower cost.

Due to the pulse motor, the IXP costs around 1/2 a conventional model
All models com standard with battery-less absolute encoders
The robot weights approximately 30% less than conventional models

20/20 Hindsight High Speed Monitoring Technology

Identify and eliminate the cause of machinery issues

The Hindsight 20/20 high speed cameras combine the most advanced video recording technology packaged in a way that is accessible and valuable in the production line setting.

Hindsight utilizes a continuous recording buffer to capture hours or days of high speed video for use in determining the root cause of problems. Thousands of images per second provide a complete end-to-end dissection of why a failure has occurred and how to prevent it in the future.
