Cognex In-Sight series stand-alone 2D machine vision systems are embedded with advanced software like BeadInspect to quickly analyze bead shape, size, and appearance. For more robust inspection, many 2D systems can be equipped with VisionPro deep learning, an image analysis software that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to separate defects from acceptable beads by comparing thousands of "good" and "bad" images. When the inspection system needs to measure the height or profile of beads, 3D machine vision systems like the In-Sight 3D-L4000 are the most effective solution, using a blue laser without spots to capture high-quality images and minimize glare.
