Aw 3810 Cognex 58
Its 30mm x 30mm x 60mm size suits it well for mounting in very tight spaces on robots, production lines and machinery. In addition to its small size, the system provides flexible mounting capability, with a non-linear calibration tool that enables mounting at angles of up to 45 degrees. Five models cover a range of price, performance and resolution levels, including a two-megapixel model. All models of the vision system include the company’s proven vision tool library to handle a broad range of vision applications for the widest array of industries.
