Cognex In-Sight 2D Vision Systems

Cognex In-Sight 2D vision systems provide image acquisition and processing for part location, inspection, measurement, and identification. Through the common Cognex Vision-Guided Robotics (VGR) interface, the DOBOT+ plug-in connects VGR-enabled In-Sight 2D cameras with DOBOT CRA and CRH robots. Within DobotStudio Pro, the integration supports the Cognex VGR visual interface, calibration, basic camera parameter adjustment, feature recognition, and position guidance. Camera selection and available vision tools depend on the application requirements and the selected Cognex hardware and software configuration.

Product Highlights

Visual Setup in DobotStudio Pro
The DOBOT+ plug-in provides access to the Cognex VGR visual interface within DobotStudio Pro, supporting camera setup and parameter adjustment in the robot programming environment.
Calibration and Feature Localization
Calibration and feature recognition provide position information for robot guidance, supporting tasks that require the robot to locate parts or align with detected features.
On-Camera Vision Tools
In-Sight systems process images on the camera. AI and rule-based tools support inspection and identification, with available functions determined by the selected model and software configuration.
Flexible Imaging Configurations
The In-Sight 2800 Series offers configurable lenses and lighting. The compact In-Sight 8900 Series provides C-mount and High Speed Liquid Lens configurations for different imaging and installation requirements.

Application

Robot guidance uses the DOBOT+ VGR integration. Inspection and identification tasks depend on the selected Cognex tools and configured vision job.

Vision-Guided Pick and Place
Part location and orientation data support robotic picking and placement when parts vary in position within a calibrated 2D workspace.

Component Alignment
Detected reference features provide positioning information for component alignment before placement or assembly.

Assembly Verification
Cognex vision tools check component presence and placement to identify missing or incorrectly assembled parts.

Code and Text Reading
Supported Cognex tools read barcodes and printed or marked text for part identification and production traceability.
