New Calibrated 3D Machine Vision Inspection

Cognex Corporation (NASDAQ: CGNX), the world's leading supplier of machine vision systems, has announced the release of the new DS1000 3D laser profiling system. The system calibrates real-world units of measurement for inspections too difficult to perform with traditional two-dimensional machine vision. The new DS1000 3D sensor:

• Reads embossed or raised characters such as those on automobile tires
• Verifies the presence of low-contrast items in boxes or packages
• Identifies surface defects and chips with low or no contrast
• Measures heights and tilts of components to determine misalignment
• Calculates volumes and dimensions for food portioning.
