Cognex Introduces Entry-Level Color Vision Sensor



DVT 535C offers complete set of easy to use color tools

Natick, MA, February 14, 2007-Cognex Corporation (NASDAQ - CGNX), the world's leading supplier of machine vision sensors, today announced the DVT® 535C, the most capable and easy to use color vision sensor in it's class. With a full suite of vision tools, the DVT 535C sets a new cost/performance standard for entry-level color vision sensors.

"Unlike most low-cost color vision sensors, the DVT 535C is not limited to a single machine vision function such as color sorting, but can handle a much broader range of applications with a compete set of color tools for sorting, color match and defect detection," said Kris Nelson, Cognex Senior Vice President, Vision Sensors.

The DVT 535C is the lowest cost model in the DVT color vision sensor family that includes a choice of high-speed and high-resolution products to meet a range of performance requirements. Like all DVT vision sensors, the 535C operates with easy-to-use Intellect(TM) software that facilitates setup, integration, and maintenance, and is backward compatible with FrameWork.

Cognex is also pleased to announce the latest Intellect software release 1.4 with many enhancements including a new Flexible Flaw Detection (FFD) tool that provides reliable inspection results despite random process variations. FFD reduces inspection errors when the appearance of the part is not consistent due to registration errors, lens and perspective distortions, and normal part-to-part variations.

The DVT 535C vision sensor and Intellect 1.4 are available now.
