About the IS8401M-363-50

An assembly line scanning camera built by Cognex as part of their In-Sight Micro 8000 set. When compared against their In-Sight Micro 1020 model, the IS8401M-363-50 is 15 times more efficient and faster.

The IS8401M-363-50’s software is made up of supporting tools that includes such important pieces such as PatMax, which was developed and patented by Cognex, and used for the In-Sight Flexible Flaw Detection program routines, as well as EasyBuilder, InspectEdge, which is used to find edges, lines, curves, and blobs in products on the assembly line with great efficiency, Spreadsheet, and JavaScript— able to create repeating processes. Program recognition, string parsing and formatting is also included in the software capabilities, as well as calibration non-linearly that utilizes a built-in caliper measuring tool to do so. The essential tools software suite of the IS8401M-363-50 includes programs capable of monitoring and filtering through images, geometric and histogram information programmed in.

The IS8401M-363-50 has the yellow and black Cognex frame, measuring at 31mm by 31.2mm by 75.1mm (or 1.22 in by 1.23 in by 2.95 in), and only weighing 132.2 grams (4.66 ounces).

The IS8401M-363-50 records video in a monochromatic display, capturing data with the 1/1.8 inch sensor eye for an incredible 1280 x 1024 resolution at approximately 76 frames per second. To attach the IS8401M-363-50 model to a wall or metal framework, a C-mount is required, and the only interface acceptable for the 1 entry port is a Gigabit Ethernet trigger. There are 2 outputs made for high-speed transfer, a 1 and 2 D barcode reader, and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Optical Character Verification (OVC).
