Micro-Vu:
New Multisensor Measurement Machine
Micro-Vu
Corporation has introduced its new Excel 650 series of multisensor measurement
machines with ten new models that accommodate large parts or multiple smaller
parts for three dimensional measurement. The systems feature high speed,
high accuracy measurement using new optics, new laser capabilities, a
substantial granite base, closed loop motion control, and high resolution
encoders. With the large 650x650mm XY capacity, the machines accommodate
large parts up to 100kg on the glass. Machines feature larger Z
capacities of 160mm, 250mm, and 400mm. The machines use a gantry stage
design allowing parts to remain stationary while the XYZ movement of the
sensors takes place above the parts.
The Excel 650 Series machines include Micro-Vu's InSpec Metrology
Software. InSpec integrates 36:1 zoom, laser, touch probe sensor, rotary
indexer, and platen capabilities with camera based vision measuring
capabilities. InSpec includes proprietary correction and vision
algorithms that give machines sub-micron capabilities. The software has
set the standard for ease-of-use among vision and multisensor measurement
machines. It is now used around the world in 15 languages.
An important design goal was to reduce costs through concurrent
engineering. Micro-Vu has reduced material and machining costs by
designed parts specifically for its 5 and 6 axis machining centers.
With lower production costs, Micro-Vu is able to offer new Excel 650 systems for
under $50,000. The new Excel machines are competitive in price with
machines that have only a quarter of the capacity.
