Machine Vision & Barcode
Cognex Smart Sensor
Cognex’s new Checker compact design provides illumination, optics,
sensor, processor, memory and I/O, all fully integrated in a single industrial-grade
package about the size of a cell phone. Checker sensors are the simple
and affordable solution for verifying the presence of product and packaging
features. Essentially a versatile "multi-sensor", a single Checker
detects features that otherwise would require multiple photoelectric sensors.

microscan ESD Safe Imager
Microscan new Quadrus MINI ESD Safe is the world's first ESD (Electrostatic
discharge) Safe miniature fixed-mount imager, designed specifically for
use in the assembly and manufacture of sensitive electronic components.
With its unique nickel coating and ESD resistant labels, the MINI can
be safely integrated without the usual hassles of aerosol coating or restrictive
mounting distances. For More Information, Click

Sensors & Machine Safety
SICK Laser Displacement Sensor
This new addition to the SICK line of laser distance measurement sensors
is able to connect two separate sensors into one common controller –
reducing costs and making it easier to install. The OD-MAX sensor system
is ideal for applications where distance measurement is required in the
micron scale rather than in millimeters. For More Information, Click
Here.
SICK Laser Safety Scanner
SICK’s new S300 Safety Laser Scanner is the smallest and lightest
safety-rated laser scanner available on the market. Its ultra-compact
housing and low power consumption make this device an ideal choice for
providing oncoming fork detection on AGVs, safeguarding workers in the
path of manned fork lifts and transfer cars, and a non-contact replacement
for safety mats. For More Information, Click
