Measuring Instrument Overview

What is a Vision Measuring Machine?

• A non-contact measurement system that utilizes image processing technology to detect object edges and perform precise dimensional measurements.

• Measurements within the field of view are instantaneous. Objects larger than a single screen can be measured seamlessly by incorporating the movement information of the measurement stage.

• Height measurement is also possible with the autofocus function.

• There are automatic machines for automated measurements and manual machines for manual stage movement.

Items Measurable with a Vision Measuring Machine

Key Point: A Vision Measuring Machine can perform a wide range of measurements with a single machine.

System Configuration

Benefits of Implementation

• Being contactless, it allows for the measurement of soft materials and intricate areas.
  ・No deformation or measurement marks are caused by measuring force.

• Minimizes individual measurement errors.
  ・Since the measurement point (edge) is automatically detected, variations between operators are minimized.

• Easy to operate by anyone
  ・With automatic measurement, there is no difference in the measurement results regardless of the operator (CNC Vision Measuring Machine).
  ・Simply place the measurement object in the predetermined position and execute the measurement program (CNC Vision Measuring Machine).

• Can also measure height
  ・Since the accuracy of the height measurement is guaranteed, the dimensions of three-dimensional objects can be measured using a single machine.

Improved corporate image

・Facilitates the development of an advanced quality control system.
・Enhanced external trust by lowering defect rates.

Points to Consider When Selecting a Model

• Measuring machine body size

• Measurement accuracy
  ・Confirm the measurement accuracy by substituting the measurement length into the formula described in
  　the catalog.
     i.e.： Measurement accuracy E_uxy,mpe =（2.0＋4L/1000）μm　　L=Measurement length (mm）
            When the desired length is 200 mm...
                  →Measurement error = （2.0＋4×200/1000）＝2.8 μm
   ・Note: Measurement accuracy of 1/5 or less of the required tolerance is desirable.

• Imaging magnification

• Evaluation items
  　Automatic or manual measurement, high-speed measurement, fine shape measurement, three-dimensional
  　shape evaluation, etc.

• Multi-sensor options
  　Contact type          ：　Touch probe, micro touch probe, scanning probe
  　Non-Contact type  ： 　Laser displacement sensor, chromatic position sensor, white light interferometer
