New generation of Cognex CHECKER sensors do not require PLC

Cognex, the world's leading supplier of machine vision sensors, has introduced a new line of Checker sensors that includes innovative breakthroughs: the CheckerTM 101E. Checker is the world's first sensor with unique technology, with unparalleled stability and ability to visually detect complete components in the process. The Checker 101E inherits the power and ease of use of the Checker 101. In addition, the Checker 101E can directly receive encoder signals, eliminating the need for a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) for component tracking and culling on variable speed production lines.

“The easy-to-use Checker 101 sensor dramatically changes the way sensor customers detect component and component features, effectively avoiding the complex wiring, mounting, ladder logic programming, and precise component handling required when using multiple photo sensors. "The Checker 101E avoids the cost and complexity of using components to track and reject components on variable speed production lines because of the ability to directly receive encoder signals," said Colin Phillips, vice president and sensor specialist at Cognex. The PLC's shift register needs to be programmed, and the Checker's shift register is different, it is automatically running, so up to 4,000 components can be accurately detected between the detection point and the culling point.

Because Checker can analyze more than 500 images per second, faster production lines can be used. Checker can also be used to detect or track components and networks to better control production processes if it is not necessary to detect complete components. Checker installation steps are straightforward and easy to deploy at the factory.

In this category, Feeding equipment and conveying equipment are included. In feeding sub-category, volumetric feeder EVF series (4-6000L/hr), loss-in-weight feeder EGF series (4-8000L/hr), liquid loss-in-weight feeder ELF series (2-8000L/hr), vibratory tray feeder EF-V (2-2600L/hr), micro loss-in-weight feeder EMF series (2-8L/hr), weigh belt feeder EGF-B series (20-20000 Kg/hr) are included, which are widely used for powder, pellet, liquid, flake, fiber, and etc. easy-flowing and poor-flowing materials in plastic extrusion industry.

In conveying sub-category, mechanical screw loader and various pneumatic loaders are included.

Pneumatic loaders are divided two types: loaders for powder and loaders for granule material. Pneumatic vacuum powder loader EPL series with capacity 50-5200Kg/hr is ideal equipment for various powder materials in plastics and chemistry industries. Vacuum granule loaders ELH series have separate design and self-contained design with capacity 300-900Kg/hr. Besides, infrared hopper receiver EVH series and vacuum generator for central conveying system ECC series are also included here.
