Vision System 9-11
AV-2550 Pattern Recognition System
The AV-2550 Pattern Recognition System (PRS) magnifies the workpiece and displays it on
the computer monitor. The AV-2550 can be used with FMW or FmNT.
The AV-2550 has a Cognex
®
Vision Processor in addition to all of the same hardware as the
AV-700 described above. This vision processor can recognize certain shapes, called
fiducials, on the part or substrate and can be “taught” to recognize them on other parts for
quick, accurate pattern placement. Specific light levels and fiducial detection can be
specified for each fiducial.
Light Source
Three light source options are available for the AV-2550: the Light Ring, the Dual Light,
and the NER
â
Diffused On-Axis Light. Systems equipped with the Dual Light option use a
Moritex

Control card instead of the light ring card.
