    B&R and Cognex cooperate on POWERLINK

One of the market leaders for industrial image processing sensors and systems, Cognex, and B&R have entered a technological cooperation. Their strategic goal is the use of POWERLINK in the In-Sight line of products from Cognex. "The result of this cooperation is a complete solution that incorporates visualization, control and drive technology for high-speed and high-precision product monitoring in production line operation. The Cognex In-Sight product line is optimally integrated in the B&R System via POWERLINK," states Hans Wimmer, B&R Managing Director.
Machine manufacturers will benefit not only from synchronization of Cognex In-Sight products and the B&R control system, they will also benefit from easy integration of a wide range of machine designs. The new vision solution is also highly compatible with all POWERLINK-based B&R product lines.
