In-Sight 2800 Series
Easy-to-use vision system with pre-trained AI for solving basic to intermediate-level processing tasks.
Built to handle the demands of automated counting
As the need for accurate, high-speed part counting grows, manufacturers need smarter, more reliable solutions that drive consistent results. Manual checks and traditional inspection methods often fall short on high-speed lines or in high-volume operations. Cognex machine vision systems provide fast, accurate, and adaptable automated counting to meet the demands of modern production across a wide range of industries.
Here’s a sampling of industries where Cognex can elevate automated part counting.
CPG: catch assembly defects in real time to keep production moving
Food and beverage assembly lines move fast, and missing or misaligned caps, shrink-wrapped tamper bands, or safety seals can halt production or trigger recalls. Traditional inspection and manual methods routinely miss subtle flaws, especially at high speeds, under poor lighting conditions, or due to complex packaging. Cognex machine vision systems detect assembly defects with precision in real-time to ensure product integrity, reduce downtime, and maintain compliance with safety standards.
LEDs: maintain throughput and avoid costly miscounts
In high-volume LED manufacturing, speed and precision are critical. Manual methods like weighing or visual counting are slow, error-prone, and unreliable, especially with lightweight pod boxes, leading to shipping mistakes and missed production targets. Traditional inspection systems often can’t keep up.
Cognex machine vision systems overcome these challenges by accurately locating and counting LED die patterns as small as 4x4 pixels, even in difficult conditions like variable lighting, high speeds, and inconsistent part presentation.
Tobacco: Accurate counts, fast workflows, and confident fulfillment
In tobacco manufacturing, miscounts during assembly and packaging can lead to compliance risks, material waste, and costly rework. Cognex machine vision systems help eliminate manual errors and improve quality control throughout the supply chain.
- Cigarette filters: High-precision counting systems from Cognex count over 4,000 filters per box with 100% accuracy, detecting defects across all filter types.
- E-cigarette pods: Cognex machine vision streamlines pod counting by using object location technology to identify pods by logos or codes. This replaces manual weighing and counting, reduces errors, and enables real-time verification across full bins.
