Mount the Vision System

In order to operate the vision system accurately, make sure to mount the In-Sight L38 firmly and perpendicular to the motion of travel. This way, the acquired point clouds are repeatable and accurate.

Number Guideline
1. The origin of the X-axis is the optical centerline of the sensor projected onto the Working Section.
2. Arrange the vision system in a way so that the motion of travel is perpendicular to the laser plane.
Note: The vision system can shut down above maximum operating temperature. To avoid overheating, Cognex recommends to use a heatsink when the operating temperature of the vision system exceeds 35ºC (95ºF). To do so, attach a 400 mm aluminum profile or surface of a thermally conductive material (for example robot mounting plate) on top of the unit.
