Key Features
Space-saving form factor
In-Sight 8000 compresses an entire self-contained vision system into a small package about the size of a traditional image-capture-only camera. All In-Sight 8000 models can be mounted at angles of up to 45-degrees and feature Power over Ethernet (PoE), making them ideal for integrating into tight spaces, on robots, and hard-to-reach machinery, anywhere on the production line.
In-Sight Explorer Software
In-Sight 8000 systems come with In-Sight Explorer software, which offers two user interfaces to fit your needs: EasyBuilder for step-by-step configuration, and spreadsheet for advanced control and customization.
The intuitive EasyBuilder interface guides you through configuration using simple point-and-click setup, which is well-suited for most applications without requiring programming expertise.
When you need more control or customization, the built-in spreadsheet gives you direct access to advanced vision tools and communication options.
This dual approach means you can start simple and scale up as your requirements evolve, ensuring your system grows with your needs rather than limiting your possibilities.
