Cognex Introduces New Artificial Intelligence 3D Vision System

Artificial Intelligence-Driven 3D Vision System Provides Rapid Deployment and Reliable Inspection for Automated Manufacturing

NATICK, MA, USA, April 2. 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Cognex Corporation, the leader in industrial machine vision

(NASDAQ: CGNX), the leader in industrial machine vision, today announced the In-Sight® L38 3D vision system.

The system combines artificial intelligence, 2D and 3D vision technologies to solve a range of inspection and measurement applications.

The system creates unique projected images that integrate 3D information into easy-to-label 2D images to simplify training and reveal features not visible with traditional 2D imaging.

Artificial intelligence tools can detect variable or undefined features, while rule-based algorithms provide 3D measurements for reliable detection results.

In factory automation, rapid deployment and reliability are more than just requirements, they are essential," said Carl Gerst, executive vice president of vision and ID products.

In factory automation, rapid deployment and reliability are not only desirable, they are essential, and the In-Sight L38 meets both requirements.

It's not just a 3D vision system, it's an AI-driven solution that takes automated inspection to the next level of quality and performance."

The In-Sight L38's built-in AI technology dramatically simplifies the process of configuring a 3D system by using pre-trained models with domain-specific data.

Example-based training simplifies application development by eliminating the complex programming that used to be required to incorporate many traditional rule-based tools.

The unique 3D tool, powered by artificial intelligence, can be set up in minutes and requires only 5 to 10 labeled images to automate tasks.

With this tool, users can detect hard-to-detect defects, measure 3D differences, and generate results in real units.

The patented speckle-free laser optics in the In-Sight L38 minimize visual noise and glare compared to traditional laser displacement sensors

The patented speckle-free laser optics in the In-Sight L38 minimize visual noise and glare for higher resolution images, while the high power laser element provides fast acquisition rates to support high production line speeds.

The high-power laser element meets Class 2 safety standards, eliminates the need for expensive housings, and provides more light than traditional systems, reducing exposure requirements and increasing line speeds.

The In-Sight L38 vision system demonstrates Cognex's commitment to innovation, setting a new standard for 3D inspection and advancing automated manufacturing.
