Lumber Focused Cognex In-Sight Explorer Training

December 4 – 7, 2017

This course is will cover the Cognex In-Sight Explorer software as well as the hardware that is needed to set up a successful machine vision project. The course will begin by covering the basics which gives first time users a broad understanding of In-Sight vision systems and how to set up simple programs. The second portion of the training will go into advanced material that will allow the student to tackle nearly any vision application. During each topic we will explore how it relates to the lumber industry and common applications. Hands on labs will take discussed concepts and implement them in a simulated lumber mill.
