High-Performance 3D Non-Contact Measurement Systems

A highly advanced non-contact line of measuring systems from Mitutoyo America, is said to deliver even more speed, efficiency, and versatility to the company’s Mitutoyo Vision Measurement portfolio. The new Quick Vision Pro Series machines are packed with high-performance technologies that reportedly greatly improves 3D non-contact measurement and productivity.

TheQV Pro Series features newly developed StrobeSnap vision measuring function that speeds up run time by approximately 35% to 45%  regardless of measurement position or continuity while achieving higher throughput and high-precision measurements. Auto focus on the QV Pro Series is about 39% faster than previous models, which the company claimes were already fastest in their class, without loss of accuracy.

An optional Stream function realizes very high throughput using non-stop measurements that synchronizes the main XY unit drive and strobe lighting. Stream takes images intermittently without stopping the stage and performs batch measurements at the same time, greatly improving measurement speeds.

Optional Tracking Auto Focus (TAF) utilizes a laser tracker that will keep the part in focus while moving the joystick, eliminating the need to keep manually focusing on the part if it is not flat. When a part program is running, TAF keeps the part in focus, so the program does not have to stop for auto focus and stops potential errors from occurring if the part is out of focus. TAF cuts speed measurement times by approximately 30 percent, further improving throughput while maintaining high accuracy.

All the QV Pro Series machines can be retrofit with Stream capability, RGB (Red, Green, Blue) illumination systems, and side-mounted touch probe kits.
