Checker I/O Module

The optional 

Checker I/O Module

 (CKR-IOBOX-101) lets you switch between saved Checker jobs 

and retrain Checker sensors while Checker is running. The Checker I/O Module also provides a 
terminal block that lets you connect other devices to the standard Checker I/O lines. The following 
figure provides an overview of the Checker I/O Module:

Working Distance and Field of View 

The distance from Checker’s lens cover to your part is the 

working distance

.; the 

field of view

 is 

what Checker can see at that distance. Checker must be able to see enough of your part, and with 
enough detail, to be able to check it. If the standard lens does not let Checker do this, an 
inexpensive set of additional lenses is available from Cognex. The following tables show the range 
of working distances and fields of view for the available lenses:   

Optimizing Lighting

Checker's built-in lighting is optimized for working distances from 3” to 15" (75 mm to 375 mm). 
Depending on how reflective your part is, you may need to use an external light for longer working 
distances. 

You can mount Checker at an angle to reduce highlights and reflections from reflective parts, as 
shown below:
