(Cognex: Natick, MA) -- Cognex Corp. announces VisionPro 6.0, a new release of the company’s popular, hardware-independent vision software. VisionPro 6.0 has more acquisition options, higher accuracy calibration, and expanded ID reading capability. 

“VisionPro 6.0 provides more freedom than ever before to combine robust Cognex vision software tools with the widest array of image acquisition sources,” says Markku Jaaskelainen, executive vice president and business unit manager for vision software. “And because of our close technical collaboration with camera makers through the Cognex Acquisition Alliance, customers get the same reliable performance that they are accustomed to receiving from our integrated systems.”

More acquisition options

The image acquisition system in VisionPro 6.0 has been enhanced to support images up to 16 bits in depth, which enables use of nontraditional acquisition sources such as 3-D profilers, thermal cameras, and X-ray imagers. Built-in compatibility with selected thermal cameras and 3-D profile scanners ensures rapid integration with VisionPro.
