New edge inspection tools

Cognex Corp’s In-Sight Explorer 4.4 is new software for In-Sight vision systems. It features new color tools, improved calibration and expanded data access within the EasyBuilder confi guration software, and greater support for larger line scan images. The software features InspectEdge, an easy-to-use new family of tools for detecting edge defects and inspecting edge pairs. The tool provides users the flexibility to solve vision applications that rely on accurate edge detection such as finding dents in can lids and edge cracks in solar wafers. It finds gaps and defects in straight and circular-shaped edges and can inspect the width of features for gaps and defects by tracking multiple edge pairs.
