PRODUCTS FROM

Checker™ sensors are the simple and affordable solution for verifying the presence of product and packaging features. Essentially a versatile "multi-sensor", a single Checker detects features that would require multiple photoelectric sensors, or may not be within the capability of photoelectrics.

In-Sight 5000 Series

These vision sensors provide users with the highest level of In-Sight performance, and are the only vision sensors available today that provide industrial-grade features as standard.

- Highest-performance models of the In-Sight family

- Die-cast aluminum housing, sealed M12 connectors, and included protective lens cover provide an IP67 (NEMA 6) rating for dust and wash-down protection where required

- Includes powerful IDMax Data Matrix code reading software

- Revolutionary PatMax object location software is optionally available

- Built-in Ethernet 10/100BASE-T communications port

Powerful OPC Server

OPC (OLE for Process Control) provides a simple and seamless way to communicate data and control the functionality of an In-Sight Job using the OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) standard. An OPC "tag" (contains user-defined information) is easily created in a job spreadsheet, after which the In-Sight OPC Server provides a simple way to configure a tag and determine the tags to be published to other OPC programs, such as common HMI and SCADA packages.

The In-Sight OPC Server provides tag configuration and publishing for any In-Sight vision sensor with declared job tags on a network attached to the PC. The server also provides a convenient way to monitor tag status and event logging for any attached vision sensors from a single program.

Integrated Operator Interface

In-Sight Explorer provides a Custom View interface that simplifies In-Sight use for the operator, while eliminating the cost of additional interface software to monitor single or networked In-Sight vision sensors. From within the spreadsheet, a custom operator interface can be created, making it easy for line operators, technicians, and maintenance staff to use and monitor In-Sight vision sensors.

ActiveX Display Control

Integrate an In-Sight vision sensor Custom View interface and camera image into third-party HMI programs using the In-Sight ActiveX Display Control. This control can be easily placed and configured within several top HMI software packages including Rockwell® Software RSView®, Invensis Wonderware® InTouch®, and Parker/CTC InteractX.

Networking Capabilities

   PatMax

If a vision sensor can’t repeatably locate parts because of wide variations in part orientation, size and appearance, then vision inspection yield and reliability will be significantly reduced.

These variations include:

- Part contrast

- Multiple parts

- Changes in lighting

- Image focus

- Degraded appearance

- Partially-hidden parts

PatMax, the industry’s performance standard for part and feature location software, utilizes advanced geometric pattern matching technology to reliably and accurately locate parts. Even under the above conditions, this tool can significantly reduce or eliminate fixturing requirements and cost. For parts or feature location, PatMax provides the maximum successful vision inspection yield and reliability available in a vision sensor. PatMax is optionally available on all general-purpose In-Sight vision sensors, except the In-Sight 5000 model.
