Cognex Software Enhances In-Sight Vision Systems
Cognex has announced In-Sight Explorer 4.4, the latest software release for its In-Sight vision systems. In-Sight Explorer 4.4 adds new colour tools, improved calibration and expanded data access within its Easybuilder configuration software, and expands support for larger line-scan images. The software also introduces Inspectedge, a range of tools for detecting edge defects and inspecting edge pairs. Inspectedge gives users the flexibility to solve vision applications that rely on accurate edge detection, such as finding dents in can lids or edge cracks in solar wafers. It finds gaps and defects in both straight and circular-shaped edges, and can inspect the width of features for gaps and defects by tracking multiple edge pairs. Support for irregular shapes in Inspectedge enables better performance on challenging width inspections, such as automotive glue beads. The tool's graphical user interface allows users to set up an edge inspection and provides more flexibility to define d...
