Cognex DS1000 3D Vision Sensor

More Information

The DS1000 series 3D sensor optimizes product quality by providing three-dimensional inspection of your products. The sensor is factory calibrated and includes industry-leading Cognex machine vision software with powerful 2D and 3D toolsets and a compact, IP65-rated design withstands even the harshest factory environments.

3D Laser Displacement Sensor Applications

Unlike traditional 2D machine vision, the DS1000 laser profiler provides a topographical representation of your part from which you can measure 3D features such as length, width, height, tilt or volume relative to any surface. It also simplifies challenging OCR or presence/absence applications by creating contrast from height changes, independent of color.

• Read embossed or raised characters such as those on automobile tires
• Detect missing objects in boxes or packages by height inspection
• Identify surface defects and chips
• Measure heights and tilts of components to determine misalignment
• Verify the correct volume for portion control
