Vision Systems Measure Multiple Surface Levels
March 16, 2006 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
AURORA, Ill. — The QUICK IMAGE QI-2017RL and QI-3017RL Series 2-D vision measuring systems from Mitutoyo America Corp. include a bilateral telecentric lens train, which can focus on multiple surface levels simultaneously, enabling error suppression and increased speed for higher measuring throughput.
A wide, 32 × 24-mm field of view and great depth of field allow the QI-2017/3017 systems to completely capture images of workpieces with varying thicknesses and levels in one view, such as tool edges, connectors, PCBs, cylinder forms, and other solids.
Each incorporates a mega-pixel charge-coupled device (CCD) color camera, which captures elevations and contours for viewing, inspection, or analysis on a desktop PC or laptop. The systems suit low- to high-volume inspection applications due to their large X-Y travel ranges of 200 × 170 mm (QI-2017) and 300 × 170 mm (QI-3017), high maximum workpiece load, and high-efficiency optics.
Both come standard with QIPAK software, which enables pattern matching inspection via a computer-aided design (CAD) user template for repeatable, programmable measuring sequences; high evaluation speed; and automatic report generation. An optional MeasurLink module subjects measurements to multiple statistical analyses.
