Checker trial software can be downloaded with the latest Checker version 1.3 release (cognex.com/checker).

The simple-to-use, inexpensive sensor can detect the presence of parts and part features, and recognize patterns. Eliminates the wiring and mounting complexity of multiple photoelectric sensors. Does not require precise part fixturing or positioning. All-in-one, IP67 design is suitable for industrial environments. Power up the unit, connect the USB cable to a PC and follow a simple setup procedure to be up and running in minutes.

In addition to the trial software, the latest release now allows for offline setup. It can also switch between 16 different sensor setups on the fly for automatic line changeovers. “Train and Go” capability lets the sensor learn new features to detect without having to connect to a PC. Now works on very large parts.
