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:
