In-Sight 1010An ID Reader that simply reads
Not every 2D code is printed on a black and
white label.
Easy to read or Difficult
to read (but no problem for In-Sight 1010)

• Powered by proven Cognex vision
• Designed to handle the toughest real world
  codes

Product Performance

• Reads poorly formed and degraded codes
• Direct marked codes on wide range of part surface
  types including metal, plastic, ceramic and glass
• Codes that are dot-peened, laser-etched and
  ink-jet printed
• Codes that are degraded or damaged due to wear
  and tear
• Rotated, skewed or resized codes

6
Finding the Code

• Sometimes the most difficult task for any reader
  is locating the code

• Clocking Pattern
• Two adjacent sides with
• alternating light and dark
• cells provide matrix density

Encoded Data Error Correction

• Finder Pattern
• Two solid adjacent sides locate the pattern
• Damaged or skewed Finder Patterns make locating
  the code tough
• If you cant find it, you cant read it!

7
Finding the Code

• Training the code
• In-Sight 1010 can train on the Finder Pattern for
  robust location
• Once trained, the code can be found even when the
  Finder Pattern is damaged or skewed.. Where
  other readers fail!

• This 14x14 matrix is severely skewed
• It is very difficult to find without training

• Here, the Finder Pattern is obstructed
• The 1010 solves this problem by training, which
  allows this code to be found and read

Image Processing
In the real world

• Lighting and optics are not ideal
• Cant always get a high contrast image
• Lens quality degrades due to environment

• The quality of the mark varies greatly
• Rough surfaces
• Curved parts
• Variations in surface colors
• Degradation
• Old marking equipment

The In-Sight 1010 offers image processing to help
read poor quality codes
