IP67-rated for premium performance under challenging conditions

Standard industrial cameras often require an enclosure for operating in extreme environments. These enclosures block light, compromising image quality, and do not guarantee a water- or dust-proof design. Cognex industrial cameras are IP67-rated and do not require a separate enclosure. This means they deliver high performance and maintain exceptional image resolution, even in the harshest working conditions.
