Cognex to Exhibit Vision Systems and ID Readers at Pack Expo Las Vegas 2011

Cognex ID Readers offer the most advanced technology available for 1-D barcode and for 2-D Data Matrix code reading. With the best performing hardware on the market, in both handheld and fixed-mount reader formats, Cognex can successfully read codes that other readers cannot. As a result, image-based readers are rapidly replacing laser scanners in a wide range of manufacturing and logistics applications.

DataMan® 500 offers consistent, reliable reading of 1-D barcodes that lasers cannot read, including damaged, distorted, blurred, scratched, low height and low contrast codes. It also reads codes presented in any orientation, multiple codes within the same image, and 2-D codes such as Data Matrix and QR codes. With no moving parts to wear out, the DataMan 500 also offers exceptional reliability, lower maintenance and longer product life.

Available in a wide range of models to meet any price and performance requirement, Cognex Machine Vision systems set the standard for automated inspection and quality assurance across a wide range of industries. In-Sight® vision systems can be easily integrated with any factory network or automation control system and feature an optional operator display panel for monitoring the runtime operation of any In-Sight vision system on the network.
Cognex In-Sight 5605 vision systems for high-resolution applications provides 2448 x 2048 (5 MP) resolution for high accuracy gauging, defect detection and ID reading, and allows accurate inspection and ID on larger packages.

The Checker® vision sensor is an award-winning all-in-one industrial sensor with built-in camera, processor, lighting, optics and I/O capable of detecting and inspecting up to 6,000 parts per minute — all in an industrial IP67 enclosure small enough to fit into the tightest of spaces.
