Quick Verdict
Cognex VisionPro is PC-based machine vision software for building custom 2D inspection, measurement and guidance applications. Its rule-based tools cover pattern matching and object location, edge and blob detection, measurement, bead inspection and reading of 1D and 2D codes and alphanumeric characters, and its AI tools perform segmentation and classification after training on 5 to 10 images. Located part positions are passed to robots and machines for alignment, pick-and-place and assembly checks. Applications are built graphically in QuickBuild with scripting, or programmed with .NET, C# and C++ class libraries. The software acquires images from area scan and line scan cameras, including GigE cameras and frame grabbers, and the CC24 I/O card adds EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, SLMP and TCP/IP communication. It is listed from USD 1,650.
