Vision with SICK’s InspectorP TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION ADVERTORIAL
User-Programmable 2D S
Cognex vision sensor powered by In-Sight
he In-Sight® 2000 series from Cognex combines the power of the industry-leading In-Sight vision systems with the simplicity and affordability of a vision sensor. Ideal for solving simple error-proofing applications, these vision sensors set new standards for value, ease of use and flexibility thanks to the powerful combination of proven In-Sight vision tools, a simple setup, and a modular design. The In-Sight 2000 series includes an integrated, high-performance image formation system consisting of field interchangeable lenses and a patent-pending LED ring light, eliminating the need for costly external lighting. Customers can easily swap out the lens and change the color of the integrated ring light as needed for their application. Together with the In-Sight Explorer™ EasyBuilder® interface, the In-Sight 2000 series allows even novice users to achieve extremely reliable inspection performance in nearly any production environment.

ICK has added to its Inspector 2D vision family with the InspectorP,
its first fully user-
programmable range of 2D cameras with the performance and flexibility needed for critical vision duties in verification, inspection and quality control. With the Inspector P63x/64x/65x family of 2D vision cameras, SICK has achieved versatile, high- resolution image processing capability with on- board programming to meet a wide variety of applications such as robot picking and part positioning, quality inspection, error proofing, sorting and precision measurement. The Inspector P’s high-performance optics and illumination, together with a resolution range of between 1 – 4 megapixels, deliver a choice of options for even complex, long-range or high-speed vision tasks.
Users have the freedom and flexibility to develop their application software on the InspectorP using the SICK AppSpace programming platform and a flexible user interface. On-board image processing and object evaluation is provided via the pre- installed HALCON image library. The SICK Inspector P63x, 64x and 65x models offer a choice of evaluation speeds and camera resolutions, with convenient functions such as aiming lasers, optical and acoustic feedback, and a micro-SD card to retain configuration and operation parameters.
All housings are IP65/67
protected against factory conditions for a long, reliable life. Flexible mounting, cabling, connection and other accessory options enable simple installation in any location. The advanced communications capability of the Inspector P63x/64x/65x series, based on the
