Simpler automated inspection for production lines
In many industrial applications, quality control still relies on manual inspections or vision systems that are difficult to configure. This can lead to errors, long setup times, and difficulties when the product or application changes.
The Cognex In-Sight 2800 is designed for these situations. The system combines rule-based vision tools with AI capabilities, enabling the automation of presence checks, sorting, classification, and character reading in an easy-to-implement format.
Integrated AI for detection and classification
ViDi EL Classify tools enable the identification and sorting of parts based on visual characteristics, rather than simply providing an OK/NG result. The system can be trained using a small number of images and provides visual feedback through confidence scores, which helps ensure more accurate application tuning.
OCR for difficult texts
With ViDi EL Read, the In-Sight 2800 can read characters on reflective surfaces, surfaces with low contrast, or irregularly shaped surfaces. It is useful in applications where data, batch numbers, printed text, or markings that are difficult to interpret using traditional methods need to be verified.
Quick Setup in In-Sight Vision Suite
The EasyBuilder interface guides the user step by step, from image capture to application execution. For operators and technicians, this reduces setup time and makes the system more accessible, even in factories without staff specialized in machine vision.
Lighting and construction tailored to industrial environments
The system can be equipped with integrated multicolor lighting—including red, green, blue, and white—to optimize contrast for specific applications. Its compact housing, IP67 protection, and modular lens and accessory options make it suitable for direct integration into existing lines.
Who is it suitable for?
- manufacturers looking to automate simple or moderately complex inspections
- lines where the presence, position, or correctness of components must be checked
- applications where defect classification or product sorting is required
- processes that require OCR scanning on difficult surfaces
- factories looking for a vision system that is easy to configure and integrate
