Ten questions about In-Sight 3D-L4000 soul, do you dare to take it!


As a strong new product released by Cognex this year, the In-Sight 3D-L4000 vision system uses Cognex’s patented speckle-free blue laser optics, and combines a complete set of 3D vision tools with a flexible In-Sight spreadsheet. Together. This all-in-one solution can quickly acquire and process high-quality 3D images in online inspection, guidance, and measurement applications.
 
To Dr. Kang also sorted out 10 common questions about the In-Sight 3D-L4000 vision system, which is convenient for memorizing and can learn more about it. Come and accept this soul 10-question challenge, and see if you can answer a few questions correctly~
 

Q1 Does the 3D-L4000 series provide 2D images?

Yes, the 3D-L4000 series provides high-quality intensity images. This system uses speckle-free laser optics to provide clean light for collecting line-scan 2D images.
  

Q2 Is the software used in the L4000 series different from the In-Sight vision kit used in the D900 vision system?

No, they all use the In-Sight® vision kit.
 

Q3 How can the L4000 series make 3D applications easier to solve and easier to deploy?

The 3D-L4000 series uses the In-Sight spreadsheet environment, which makes 3D applications easier to solve and maintain. An extensive new 3D tool library can help solve 3D applications quickly without programming.
 

Q4 What are the specific features of the 3D-L4000 series hardware?

The 3D-L4000 series adopts IP65 protection grade enclosure. The resolution of this system is 2K contour points, and the scanning rate is up to 4kHz. In addition, 3D-L4000 also uses high dynamic exposure technology (HDR).
 

Q5 Can the 3D-L4000 series be able to read barcodes or OCR codes?

Yes, if you can see the barcode or text in the 2D image, you can use ID and OCR tools to read it.
 

Q6 Is the laser used in the 3D-L4000 series safe for human eyes?

Yes, 3D-L4000 uses eye-safe 2M blue laser. No additional safety equipment is required.
 

Q7 What are the advantages of non-speckle laser optical components?

The 3D-L4000 uses a patented non-speckle laser optical element to generate high-quality images. By eliminating spots, 3D-L4000 can provide more accurate 3D images and higher quality 2D images at the same time.
 

Q8 Can the 3D-L4000 series operate like a laser profiler?

Yes, the 3D-L4000 series can be used in time-based acquisition mode, running like a laser profiler to solve static component inspection applications. To set up this application, you can select "Continuous" as the trigger source. Then you can set the collection overlap function in the "Point Cloud" tab.
 

Q9 Can the 3D-L4000 series solve continuous coil inspection applications?

Yes, the 3D-L4000 series can perform continuous coil inspection applications.
 

Q10 Are 2D and 3D images calibrated in actual units?

Yes, 2D and 3D images are calibrated in actual units. 3D vision tools can be used on 3D images, and 2D vision tools can be used on 2D images. Since both images are calibrated, the results can be used in 3D and 2D vision tools.
