3D-A1000 Item Detection Video Thumb
Key Features
Advanced 3D technology with simple setup with single and multi-head options
Unlike conventional methods, the 3D-A1000 uses patented 3D symbolic light technology to freeze motion with a single image. This generates more accurate 3D point cloud data, eliminating the need for complex calibration and encoder integration. Embedded processing enables powerful Cognex vision tools to run additional 3D and 2D inspections.
The 3D-A1000 Multi-Head dimensioner uses multiple cameras working together to capture objects from all angles. This setup handles faster belt speeds and tighter spaces while providing more accurate measurements. Use it alone or integrate with other Cognex systems for complete logistics automation.
The 3D-A1000 is factory-calibrated and ready for immediate system integration. Unlike conventional systems that can take a skilled engineer 3 to 6 hours to install and calibrate, the 3D-A1000 can be installed by anyone in under 15 minutes, thanks to an intuitive setup wizard.
- Step 1: Connect without the hassle of software downloads and installation procedures.
- Step 2: Intuitive wizard simulates the installation environment to help with mounting and optimization.
- Step 3: Within 15 minutes, the system is ready to run and auto-certify, using performance analysis tools.
- Step 4: Once installed, continued feedback offers statistical insight into production and processes for data-driven optimization.

| Typical Mounting Distance | Belt Width | Min. Object (L x W x H) | Max. Object (L x W x H) |
| 1000 mm (39 in) | 450 mm (17.7 in) | 25 x 25 x 10 mm (1.0 x 1.0 x 0.4 in) | 550 x 400 x 400 mm (21.6 x 15.7 x 15.7 in) |
| 1350 mm (53 in) | 600 mm (23.6 in) | 35 x 35 x 15 mm (1.4 x 1.4 x 0.6 in) | 750 x 550 x 550 mm (29.5 x 21.6 x 21.6 in) |
| 1650 mm (65 in) | 750 mm (29.5 in) | 45 x 45 x 20 mm (1.8 x 1.8 x 0.8 in) | 900 x 650 x 650 mm (35.4 x 25.6 x 25.6 in) |
| 2000 mm (78 in) | 900 mm (35.4 in) | 55 x 55 x 25 mm (2.1 x 2.1 x 1.0 in) | 1100 x 800 x 800 mm (43.3 x 31.5 x 31.5 in) |
The above scenarios are typical for a given mounting distance. Mounting distance will vary based on specific applications as guided by our software.
Longer objects can be handled with the inclusion of an encoder.
