Industrial IP65 laser and camera

The DS1000 3D sensor optimizes product quality by providing
three-dimensional inspection of your products. Compact and industrially
designed for the even the harshest factory environment, it also
includes industry-leading Cognex vision software with a powerful
new 3D toolset.

Calibrated 3D Vision from Cognex
The factory-calibrated DS1000 provides results in real units of measurement
with micron-level accuracy, making 3D applications easier to use and
quicker to deploy.
Unlike traditional 2D machine vision, the system provides a topographical
representation of your part from which you can measure 3D features
such as length, width, height, tilt or volume relative to any surface. It also
simplifies challenging OCR or presence/absence applications by creating
contrast from height changes, independent of color.

Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

Application examples include:
•t Reading embossed or raised characters such as those on
t automobile tires
•t Detecting missing objects in boxes or packages by height inspection
•t Identifying surface defects and chips
•t Measuring heights and tilts of components to determine misalignment

Measure heights

Verify volumes

Determine presence/absence

Identify surface defects

•t Verify the correct volume for portion control
