Cognex Corporation Company Profile

Smart camera features 3D technology.

Smart camera features 3D technology.

A compact, industrial 3D and 2D motion-capable smart camera, the 3D-A1000 Item Detection System can be used to identify either the absence or the presence of objects on sorters.

Due to its patented 3D technology, along with its 2D inspection capabilities, the system can accurately detect debris, empty trays, items and overhangs on every type of carrier, as it travels at a production line speed.

Easy to use, the 3D-A1000 provides high detection rates (higher than any usual detection technology), as it outputs granular data, which is used to track the system’s overall health and performance. It has a low amount of false detections, as it enhances order accuracy, increases sorter utilization and completely eliminates item recirculation.


Company Product Description

The 3D-A1000 dimensioning system is a compact and industrial 3D + 2D motion-capable smart camera used for dimensioning both regular and irregularly shaped items. Patented 3D technology combined with 2D inspection capabilities delivers precision at high speed. The 3D-A1000 provides reliable and effective results without any complicated setup or maintenance.

  • Estimate shipping costs
  • Optimize storage density
  • Track registered goods
  • Sort products efficiently
  • Recover lost revenue
  • Eliminate manual dimensioning

3D + 2D technology provides functionality beyond dimensioning

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 use of powerful Cognex vision tools to run additional 3D + 2D inspections.

Out of the box ready with easy integration and maintenance

The 3D-A1000 is factory calibrated and ready for system integration immediately. 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, using an intuitive setup wizard.
