Cognex, a leading supplier of machine vision systems and vision sensors, today announced the In-Sight® 5403, a two megapixel vision sensor. The In-Sight 5403 is the first vision sensor that captures full-frame, 1;600×1;200 images at up to 15 frames per second for highly detailed inspection of fast moving objects (Plate 1).
The increased resolution of the In-Sight 5403 provides unsurpassed accuracy for precision gauging, alignment, and fine-defect inspection on very small parts. By capturing images of larger parts or viewing multiple objects simultaneously, the 5403 performs inspections that formerly required multiple sensors.

parts, high-accuracy gauging and inspection of smaller parts
With two and a half times the resolution of standard vision sensors, the In-Sight 5403 enhances considerably the existing In-Sight 5400 Series with even more powerful options for applications that require very precise and repeatable measurements. The consumer products and automotive industries will benefit directly from this new top-of-the line vision sensor.
As with other In-Sight 5000 Series vision sensors, the 5403 is a self-contained, industrial-grade vision sensor that meets IEC specifications for shock and vibration, and achieves an IP67 (NEMA 6) rating for dust and wash-down protection. It offers built-in ethernet communications and In-Sight Explorer software that combines the unique and powerful vision spreadsheet interface with advanced tools to simplify application development and network administration. The industry leading PatMax® software that is used for feature and object location, is available as an option.
