Cognex Corporation has expanded the capabilities of its In-Sight® 2800 vision system to include optical character recognition (OCR). The new ViDi EL Read tool, powered by edge learning technology, deciphers human-readable characters on reflective, low-contrast and non-flat surfaces with ease.
Using newly developed and recently patented technology, Cognex eliminates the speckle effect of laser lines, optimising triangulation-based 3D imaging. The In-Sight 3D-L4000 embedded vision system is the first product to bring the benefits of speckle-free laser lines to users.
