In-Sight 9000 Vision System
Ultra-high resolution, standalone smart camera for detailed inspections and measurements
The In-Sight 9000 is a rugged, ultra-high-resolution line of standalone vision systems. With its ability to acquire and process exceptionally detailed images, the In-Sight 9000 delivers high accuracy part location, measurement, and inspection over a large area—even when mounted at longer distances. Line scan and area scan image acquisition options are available for imaging continuously moving or stationary objects. Plus, a full suite of vision tools configurable through the In-Sight EasyBuilder interface solves a wide range of applications across industries.
Large field of view without sacrificing resolution
The In-Sight 9000 captures a large field of view which allows users to inspect sizable objects while maintaining exceptional image resolution. This also enables customers to mount the vision system away from conveyors and maintain a safe distance from hazardous equipment.
A single camera solution to multi-camera applications
The In-Sight 9000 eliminates the need to install multiple cameras in applications with large objects or parts. As a single camera solution, the In-Sight 9000 reduces complexity, calibration requirements, and cost compared to multi-camera systems. The self-contained unit reduces the amount of equipment to be installed on space-restricted production lines. Plus, IP67-rated housing protects the system from liquids and dust without the need for an external enclosure.
Line scan and area scan image acquisition options
The In-Sight 9000 offers both line scan and area scan image acquisition methods.

The In-Sight 9902L line scan vision system is designed to inspect large, cylindrical, and continuously moving objects. It captures 2,000 pixels with each line, delivering 32MP images (16,000 lines) that enable vision tools to perform highly detailed inspections. Each pixel line is acquired at 67,000 lines per second (15us scan rate) to keep up with the fastest production lines. |
Available in monochrome and color models, the In-Sight 9912 area scan vision system is ideal for inspecting large, stationary parts. Acquiring 12MP (4096 x 3000 pixel) images, the 9912 captures detailed images for high accuracy measurements and inspections without sacrificing field of view. |
In-Sight VC200 Multi Smart Camera Vision System
The In-Sight® VC200 multi smart camera vision system brings the proven reliability of standalone In-Sight vision systems to multi camera vision applications. You can easily attach up to four In-Sight smart cameras to a controller for multi-view inspections in your manufacturing environment. For the first time, you can leverage the power of distributed computing with multiple smart cameras for high-performance applications.
While traditional multi-camera systems slow down with each additional camera, the processing power of the In-Sight VC200 vision system actually increases with each smart camera added. This incremental power is possible because each smart camera contains its own processor—this allows you to run In-Sight vision tools, such as PatMax Redline, independently on each camera with no reduction in speed of the overall application regardless of how many cameras are attached.
The In-Sight VC200 uses a flexible workflow diagram to control image acquisition, vision logic, decision making, and factory communication. The In-Sight spreadsheet is used to configure the smart cameras for vision inspection.Download In-Sight VC200 Multi Smart Camera Vision System Datasheet

In-Sight 5705 and 5705C 5MP Vision System
The In-Sight 5705 series offers high performance with high resolution making it the fastest 5MP self contained vision system in the world. The In-Sight 5705 color follows making it the only standalone 5 MP color vision system in the world! Both systems support Gigabit Ethernet and the new blazing fast PatMax® Redline™ tool.
Faster image filters on an In-Sight 5705
Full image speed is significantly higher with the In-Sight 5705 Series- seven times faster running the closed filter and the edge magnitude filter than a two megapixel system. In practical terms, it’s over half a second faster. This dramatic speed increase reduces cycle times or allows more time for running more detailed inspections.
In-Sight 5705C: True 24-bit color processing
True Color Filtering and easy-to-use Color ID and Color Extraction tools make color inspections easier than ever. Setting up and performing color inspections using these tools requires simple selection of a color region and then color training.
