Industry-Specific Products:

A result of over 25 years of vision experience solving the most difficult vision applications, these products include wafer identification, surface mount device placement guidance, cylindrical product inspection and more.

Semiconductor and Electronics Products
Cognex has been the leading vision supplier to the semiconductor and electronics industry since its inception in the early 1980’s as a provider of wafer ID solutions. Since then, Cognex has expanded its offerings to include programmable vision software, application-specific solutions for electronics OEMs, as well as turnkey wafer readers and vision-based wafer pre-aligners. These are designed to keep pace with the increasing need for high-resolution alignment and inspection, as well as the growing use of ID solutions to track wafers and ICs through all stages of manufacturing. 

Vision Guided Robotics
Innovative new products and capabilities from Cognex make integrating vision systems into 2D robotic applications faster and easier than ever before.

Consumer Packaging
Cognex’s OmniView™ inspection system seamlessly integrates multiple cameras to inspect cylindrical consumer packages as they move down a conveyor. OmniView eliminates slow and expensive custom handling requirements.

Solar Production
Cognex ® provides solar manufacturers with a wide array of vision products that provide specific production solutions — from wafers to finished panels.

Web and Surface Inspection

Industry-leading technology for detecting and classifying defects during the continuous production of metals, paper, nonwovens, plastics and glass.

SmartView Metals
SmartView Metals has become the most trusted surface inspection system worldwide. With more installations on more lines than any surface inspection system ever, SmartView is relied upon around the world by virtually every major flat rolled products producer. For many of them, SmartView is the de-facto standard in on-line defect detection and identification.

SmartView Paper
The SmartView  paper system is highly modular, allowing the use of appropriate technology for your application using standard system components. We install appropriate light and camera configurations for each line. Cognex offers the most comprehensive selection of lighting solutions in the industry, applying collimated, diffuse, or side lighting, depending on your application needs.  In addition, our collection of thresholding algorithms can be optimized for your particular material and requirements, all performing on-line in real time. You never have to wait for SmartView results.

SmartView Nonwovens
SmartView Nonwovens has become the most trusted web inspection system worldwide. With more installations on more lines than any web inspection system ever, SmartView is relied upon around the world by virtually every major roll goods producer. For many of them, SmartView is the de-facto standard in on-line defect detection and identification.

SmartView Plastics
The shift in today’s global economy has affected all segments of the plastics, film, and converting industries, and many companies are experiencing a changing demand for product across all applications. This shift in supply and demand has resulted in higher yield expectations. Plastics manufacturers and converters are under pressure to run more efficiently, but as lines run at faster speeds, the occurrence of defects can significantly increase. Although quality is essential in any economy, it has never been more vital than now. Manufacturers can’t afford to make inferior products. And, if material is shipped with undetected defects, companies not only risk upsetting their customers — they risk losing them.

SmartView Glass
Only SmartView Glass provides advanced inspection technology ensuring superior real-time detection of all glass defects, while our special inspection software can easily be configured to provide unparalleled, automatic identification and visualization of your defects.
