Area Scan 3D Camera



Cognex's 3D-A5000 series is a factory-calibrated, IP65-rated area scan 3D camera designed to capture high-resolution 3D images. The 3D-A5000 features patent-pending 3D LightBurst technology that rapidly acquires images to maximize throughput. High-resolution 3D images, combined with Cognex 3D vision tools offer reliable and accurate solutions to applications such as assembly verification, in-line measurement and robotic guidance. The 3D-A5000 offers a variety of fields of view (FOV) and measurement ranges to accommodate applications in the automotive, consumer goods and logistics industries.

Benefits include:

  • Patent-pending 3D LightBurst technology enables rapid image acquisition
  • More than 1.5 million 3D data points detect fine features on parts
  • High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode captures scenes with high contrast
  • VisionPro 3D tools solve challenging 3D applications
  • Factory calibration delivers enhanced measurement results in real-world units
  • Rugged IP65-rated housing provides protection in harsh factory environments.

The 3D-A5000 features patent-pending 3D LightBurst technology which casts a unique blue light pattern on a part to acquire high-resolution 3D images at an unparalleled speed. It delivers a full FOV 3D point cloud image as fast as 200 milliseconds, allowing higher throughput and shorter cycle times for time-critical in-line applications.

The 3D-A5000 is designed to deliver high-resolution 3D point cloud images constructed from over 1.5 million 3D data points. These high-resolution images coupled with a powerful Cognex 3D toolset in VisionPro, including PatMax 3D, allow the 3D-A5000 to solve a wide range of applications from assembly verification to in-line measurement and robotic guidance.

"The 3D-A5000 has a rugged IP65-rated, die cast aluminum housing that is built to last on the factory floor," said a company spokesperson. "The industrial design ensures consistent measurement results, even under varying temperatures."
