Cognex In-Sight Laser Profiler

Whether performing a single profile measurement or scanning an entire surface in 3D, Acrovision have the most powerful and robust 3D Vision Tools.

The In-Sight Laser Profiler is a measurement system used to verify that a part’s dimensions meet specifications, whilst using the In-Sight EasyBuilder^® user interface. This intuitive, easy-to-use software makes it simple for manufacturing and quality engineers to develop, deploy and support high accuracy measurements on the factory floor.

• Profile optimization technology renders the most accurate outline of your part.
• Advanced object detection technology ensures measurements are performed in the correct location and provides consistent results.
• Intuitive EasyBuilder user interface provides access to the laser profiler toolset, making it simple for first time users to extract features and construct reference points.
• Mobile, platform-independent visualisation provides access to HMIs from anywhere on the network.

How a Laser Profiler works:

The In-Sight laser profiler generates an accurate 2D profile of an object along a laser line. As a result, the 2D profile provides precise geometric information that can be used to verify that an object is defect-free and meets specifications. The In-Sight laser profiler is easy to use and factory calibrated to ensure accurate and repeatable measurement results.

The In-Sight Laser Profiler is set up and deployed in four easy steps:

1. Acquire Profile

The ability to produce an accurate profile of your part is critical to the success of any application. With a click of a button, profile optimisation technology renders the most accurate outline of your part.

2. Locate Object

An inconsistent presentation of a part can directly result in measurement errors. Sophisticated object detection technology minimizes the need for costly fixturing and ensures measurements are performed in the correct location.

3. Measure

Factory engineers will be up and running within minutes using the In-Sight EasyBuilder user interface. The flexible In-Sight laser profiler toolset extracts features, constructs reference points and verifies whether a product has been manufactured within tolerance.

4. Communicate Results

Once results have been achieved, measurements are sent to a PLC or an overall pass/fail is sent directly as a discrete output.
