PRODUCT GUIDE
One Sensor does it all — Checker 3G
One sensor does it all...
Wouldn’t it be great if you could use the same sensor for all your product verification tasks? This is now
possible with the new third generation Checker 3G from Cognex. With Checker 3G, you choose whether
to use it as a Presence/Absence sensor or as a Measurement sensor. In either mode it can perform
multiple “checks” on each product you manufacture. When designing Checker 3G, we threw away the
sensor rule book, so you can throw away all those sensor catalogs.

One Sensor
and it’s so simple to use
All you need to set up a Checker 3G is the SensorView® teach pendant. With our unique One-Click Setup™
feature, jobs can be set up and running in a matter of minutes. A single teach pendant can be used to set
up any number of Checker 3G sensors, and can also be left connected for real-time application monitoring.
With integrated part detection, lighting, I/O and job change, Checker 3G is the easy and affordable way to
verify the products you manufacture.
