Cognex In-Sight Explorer Software

Posted on Posted in Cognex Software, Products

Ease-of-use is built into the heart of In-Sight vision systems starting with easy to use but powerful vision tools and In-Sight Explorer software interface. A spreadsheet view makes the user experience very simple for maximum control over your optical inspection applications. The In-Sight Explorer software also includes an EasyBuilder® configuration environment for deploying reliable applications quickly, with no programming required.

Powerful Vision Tools

  • Handle extreme variations in mark quality
extract color Color inspection: ExtractColor and MatchColor 
Sort, Identify, Match and Verify colors of your product

  • Identify the correct color(s), in the correct location(s) on your part with Color ID
  • Match and Sort product based on trained colors
  • Verify the consistency and uniformity of color from product to product
  • Isolate specific colors to create a high contrast color image for ease of inspection
inspect edge Defect detection: InspectEdge, Bead Finder, and Bead Tracker
Find gaps, width variation and defects along edges

  • Classify defects by total area, length, or depth
  • Easily configured for straight, circular, or non-uniform edges
  • Robustly measure min/max deviations and widths
flaw detection Flaw detection: Flexible Flaw Detection (FFD) and Surface Flaw Detection (SFD)
Find edge and area-based defects on products

  • Detect surface flaws and print defects
  • Compensate for normal process variation and light intensity variation
  • Detect discoloration and defects on color images
edge detection Measurement: Geometry tools, Edge detection, and Caliper
Large Variety of Geometric tools to choose from for your high precision measurements

  • Choose from a variety of Geometric measurement tools for ease of setup
  • Allows for high-accuracy gauging despite changes in part orientation and ambient lighting
Image Optimization: Calibration, Image Filter Tools, Scene Correction
Remove unwanted effects from the environment for repeatable inspection

  • Advanced Calibration to remove effects of perspective distortion(lens tilt) and lens distortion (rounding of outside corners of image)
  • Correct uneven lighting or shading from your image for a clean clear image to work with
  • Filter out unwanted or confusing backgrounds to highlight the part to be inspected
  • Filter out all colors except for the one(s) you want for easy detection and inspection
