Automated Inspection Systems: Improving QC with Micro-Vu

Automated inspection systems allow manufacturers to increase measurement speed, repeatability and data collection while reducing the amount of operator involvement required for routine inspection. Micro-Vu Optical CMMs combine automated measurement with multiple sensor technologies, giving manufacturers the ability to inspect a wide range of features within a programmed measurement routine. From high-resolution vision and laser measurement to touch probes and rotary devices, Micro-Vu systems can bring multiple inspection capabilities together in one automated platform. Automated Non-Contact Inspection with Micro-Vu Vision measurement is at the center of Micro-Vu's automated inspection capabilities. High-resolution cameras and programmable lighting allow the system to locate and measure part features automatically. Once an inspection routine has been programmed, the system can repeat the same measurements using consistent parameters from part to part. For components with numerous features or recurring inspection requirements, this can significantly reduce the time and operator input associated with manual measurement. Non-contact measurement is also useful for parts and features that are difficult to inspect reliably using conventional contact methods. Multi-Sensor Measurement in One System Not every feature can be measured effectively with vision alone. Micro-Vu systems can incorporate multiple sensor technologies to expand the types of measurements that can be included within […]
