Nissan Works with Cognex Systems

At one of the most productive automotive manufacturing plants in Europe, accuracy and reliability at all points on the production line are of paramount importance. Nissan approached Capley Marker who was chosen to supply the system for a number of key reasons. They had previously installed five cameras at Nissan and converted a separate line to Cognex In-Sight cameras; Nissan were extremely satisfied with the level of support received through the existing relationship and finally, Capley is an approved Cognex PSI (Partner System Integrator). The system was to be supplied for use on the Nissan Micra and Note production lines. The key project requirement was to determine the glass type on the line, which could be one of four variants; Micra fixed side window right hand side (RHS) and left hand side (LHS); Note fixed side window RHS and LHS. A similar system is used on a second line which produces the Qashqai.
