Cognex Introduces Entry-Level Color Vision Sensor

Natick County, MA, USA, February 13, 2007 - Cognex Corporation (Nasdaq NASDAQ: CGNX) today introduced the DVT® 535C color vision sensor, a world-leading supplier of machine vision sensors. The DVT® 535C is not only the most powerful and easy-to-use sensor in its class, but it is also equipped with a complete set of vision tools, thus setting 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 performing a single machine vision task (such as color classification), but can be applied to a wide range of applications with the complete set of color tools. Areas such as color classification, color matching, and error detection, said Kris Nelson, senior vice president of vision sensors at Cognex.

DVT 535C is the lowest-priced DVT color vision sensor product family, and the entire DVT series also includes some high-speed and high-resolution products to meet the diverse performance needs of users. Like all DVT vision sensors, the 535C's operating software is the easy-to-use IntellectTM, which makes it easy to set up, integrate, and maintain products and is compatible with frameWork.

Cognex also launched the latest version 1.4 of Intellect software. The new version incorporates many enhancements, including a new FFD (flexible error detection) tool that can effectively handle random errors in the production process and provide reliable inspection data. When the appearance of parts is inconsistent due to register error, lens distortion, and part variation, FFD can effectively reduce the error of the detection result.

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