Cognex machine vision software provides the industry’s leading vision technology, available in several formats designed to meet your development needs.

All applications benefit from Cognex’s broad-based, industrial-grade tool set. Choose between a programmatic or graphical interface to get the industry’s most robust tool library on your own terms.

Cognex VisionPro is the leading PC-based vision software. It is designed to setup and deploy vision applications—no matter the camera or frame grabber. With VisionPro, users can perform a wide range of functions, from geometric object location and inspection to identification, measurement, and alignment, as well as specialized functions specific to semiconductor and electronics applications

Cognex Designer makes it faster to build complete vision applications and allows developers to more easily take full advantage of the powerful VisionPro tool library. A graphical, block diagram-based programming environment reduces development cycles and enables easier application maintenance and support.

Cognex Vision Library (CVL) is designed to help original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) build the widest range of machine vision applications with ultimate flexibility. CVL allows developers to write their own vision tools, configure multi-threading, and access all tool properties and options.

Cognex vision accessories are designed for easy integration with Cognex VisionPro, Cognex Designer, and Cognex Vision Library (CVL) environments. Cameras are available in both area scan and line scan formats to address a wide variety of applications. From value solutions to high-performance hardware, Cognex offers industrial cameras, vision controllers, frame grabbers, and I/O cards to meet any requirement.
