Updated: 2 days ago
The Cognex In-Sight 9000 is a 2D vision system, listed from USD 12,000. This review covers its full specifications, design, integration, applications and price, so you can decide whether it fits your automation project.
Quick Verdict
The Cognex In-Sight 9000 is a series of rugged, ultra-high-resolution 2D vision systems with a 12 MP area scan sensor running at 14 frames per second and a line scan version that acquires 66,000 lines per second for images of up to 32 MP. The high pixel count allows large parts to be located and measured precisely from a distance, which suits robot guidance on big components, wide-area inspection and gauging. The vision tools include PatMax, PatMax RedLine, PowerGrid and Hotbars. The housing measures 53.4 x 60.5 x 121.0 mm, weighs 400 g, takes C-mount lenses and is rated IP67 with the lens cover fitted. It runs on 24 V DC and communicates over EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus TCP, OPC UA, TCP/IP and RS-232. It is listed from USD 12,000.
