Key Features

1. Advanced Vision Tools
   The IS2000C-120-40-125 leverages Cognex's renowned vision tools, including pattern matching, pixel counting, brightness and contrast analysis, and edge detection

• . These tools enable reliable performance in applications such as part localization, presence/absence verification, measurement, and counting. The sensor can inspect multiple targets in a single image and execute complex inspections using combined tools.

• Easy Setup with Intuitive Software
  The EasyBuilder® interface (part of In-Sight Explorer software) allows users to configure and deploy applications quickly, even without programming expertise

• . The step-by-step guided setup simplifies tasks like pass/fail determination, while advanced users can leverage the full In-Sight Explorer environment for custom applications.

• Modular Design for Flexibility
  The sensor features a field-replaceable modular design, allowing users to swap lenses, lighting, filters, and covers on-site to adapt to different applications

• . This flexibility reduces downtime and eliminates the need for costly external lighting or mechanical redesigns. The housing supports both inline and right-angle mounting configurations, ideal for tight spaces

• .

• Integrated Lighting and Optics
  Equipped with a high-brightness LED ring light (diffuse white as standard), the sensor ensures uniform illumination for consistent image quality

• . Optional lighting colors (red, blue, IR) and filters (e.g., polarizing covers) are available to enhance contrast and reduce glare on reflective surfaces. The standard S-mount/M12 lens (e.g., 8mm manual focus or 6.2mm auto-focus) supports various working distances and field-of-view requirements

• .

• Robust Industrial Construction
  Built with a painted aluminum housing and rated IP65 (when connectors are sealed), the sensor operates reliably in harsh environments, resisting dust, moisture, and vibrations

• . Its compact dimensions (92mm x 60mm x 52mm for inline mounting) and lightweight design (200g) simplify integration into existing production lines

• .

• High-Speed Performance
  With a frame rate of up to 75 fps (monochrome) or 55 fps (color) at 640 x 480 resolution (including 2x image magnification mode), the sensor meets the demands of high-speed production lines

• . The electronic shutter supports exposure times from 0.001 ms to 1000 ms, ensuring clear imaging of fast-moving objects

• .

• Seamless Connectivity and I/O
  The sensor includes industrial M12 connectors for Ethernet (PoE support), power, and I/O

. It offers:

• 1 acquisition trigger input

• 1 general-purpose input

• 4 high-speed outputs

.
Protocols like EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus TCP, and TCP/IP enable easy integration with PLCs, robots, and factory networks.
