Enhancements to display panel makes In-Sight vision systems easier to use November 2008
 
VisionView, Cognex’s low cost operator display panel for In-Sight vision systems has been enhanced with an array of new features. It is now easier than ever to monitor the production process and change vision system parameters right on the factory floor without a PC.

Engineers can now create an operator interface from within the In-Sight Explorer software by simply choosing the vision system parameters they would like to display, and selecting those that can be modified on the factory floor. A deployment interface is then automatically generated by VisionView.

Production line operators can now quickly adjust the parameters of the In-Sight job, such as training new parts or entering new lot codes, all via the password-protected VisionView touchscreen controls without having to use a PC. This saves valuable time, especially when changing over the line from making one product to another. Password protection can be applied to critical parameters so that only certain users are able to modify them, preventing unauthorised interruptions to critical processes.

VisionView has been optimised for machine vision, and features a 7 inch touchscreen that displays full colour images. It automatically detects any Cognex vision system on the network and simultaneously displays information from up to nine vision systems, in a tiled view.
