In-Sight L38 This vision system from Cognex combines artificial intelligence (AI), 2D and 3D technologies to accomplish a range of inspection and measurement applications. It creates projection images that transform 3D information into easy-to-label 2D images that simplify training and reveal features not visible with traditional 2D imaging. The AI tools detect variations, and algorithms provide 3D measurements. The system's laser optics minimize visual noise and glare, and deliver fast acquisition rates to support fast line speeds.
What’s new? The In-Sight L38.
Benefits Highly reliable inspection, fast throughput and easy deployment. The embedded AI technology uses pre-trained models with domain-specific data, and example-based training replaces complex programming and multiple traditional rule-based tools. The AI-powered 3D tools can be set up in minutes, requiring as few as five to 10 labelled images to automate a task.
