Mount the Vision System

The mounting kit includes a mounting bracket and M3 screws (quantity 4) for mounting the vision system and securing it to a mounting surface. The mounting bracket also has 1/4 - 20, M6 and flathead mounting holes available for mounting the vision system to a mounting surface.

Note: The mounting kit is only shipped with vision systems with the M12 lens configuration. If you purchased a vision system with the C-Mount lens configuration, the mounting kit is not included in the box, but can be purchased as an optional component. For more information, contact your Cognex sales representative.

CAUTION:

When mounting the vision system with the mounting bracket, use the M3 screws supplied with the mounting kit.
If using the 1/4 - 20 or M6 screw holes on the mounting bracket to secure the vision system to a mounting surface, the insertion depth of the screw should not exceed 7mm. Allowing the mounting screw to bottom in the mounting hole can damage the vision system.
If mounting the vision system without the mounting bracket, the exposed thread length of the M3 screw should not exceed 3mm. The total length of the M3 screw should be 3mm, plus the thickness of the mounting material used. Otherwise, it may damage the vision system.

Align the mounting block with the mounting holes on the vision system.
Insert the M3 screws (quantity 4) into the mounting holes and tighten the screws using a 2.5mm hex wrench; the maximum torque is 0.9039 Nm (8 in-lb).
