Compact 3D vision solutions must be easy to use and provide software for internal technical personnel to integrate, manage, and maintain. The In-Sight 3D-L4000 works seamlessly with In-Sight software, which is based on a familiar spreadsheet programming methodology. Experienced and novice technicians can quickly and easily set up vision tools. The software then takes over, determining each blob above and below the set plane and highlighting features using a simple user interface (UI) that clearly communicates the health of the production line to every user. True 3D edge and blob tools, as well as other tools designed specifically for 3D imaging that can deliver accurate and consistent results at high speed and high quality, are easy to change and maintain.
