In-Sight 5100C and In-Sight 5101 vision sensors

Cognex Australasia has added the In-Sight 5100C colour vision sensor and the In-Sight 5101 high-resolution model to its 5000 series of industrial-grade vision sensors.

The device is designed for a wide range of colour inspec-tion tasks in a number of major industries.

It can be used in the automotive industry to identify motor camshafts by colour; in the food and beverage industries to verify the colour of packages; and in the electronics industry to verify the correct position of colour LEDs at electrical test stations.

The 5101 is a high-resolution (1024 x 768) version of the 5100 for high-accuracy gauging applications in automotive and other general assembly applications that require increased resolution for inspecting small objects or capturing images of larger parts.

Both sensors are self-contained and meet IEC specifications for shock and vibration and achieve an IP67 (NEMA 6) rating for dust and washdown protection.

The units also include the vision spreadsheet interface and In-Sight Explorer software that provide advanced tools to simplify application development and network administration.
