CNC Video Measuring System Veritas VM-150

Watch your measuring productivity soar with the VERITAS Nikon VM-150 and the specifically designed Quadra-Chek 5300NLS. The Nikon CNC Video measuring system, the VERITAS, Model VM-150, enables operators to measure parts automatically. At the heart of the VERITAS is the Nikon VM-150 main body, stage, and the customized QC-5300NLS measuring software. The total system that's easy to use yet powerful enough to handle your most advanced measuring applications.

The Nikon VERITAS family of video-based metrology solutions combines an unsurpassed optical system and precision staging with the measuring power of Metronics Quadra-Chek QC5300NLS software. These two world-renowned leaders in quality control and quality assurance have set a new standard in dimensional inspection. Models VM-150, VM-250 and VM-500 share the same optics, CNC controller and QC5300NLS Windows-based operating system. The following features define a powerful metrology system solution.

Features

• Incorporates world-renowned Nikon optics for superior image resolution.
• An optical system with a 10:1 zoom ratio and highly resolved magnifications up to 2600X.
• Objectives with apertures of up to 2 inches are calibrated in 5 incremental steps and are parfocal, parcentric and linear throughout their zoom range.
• Precision bearing staging with microstepper motor control and 0.4 micrometer resolution linear encoder scales in X, Y, and Z axis.
• Externally ventilated 12V/100W tungsten halogen fiberoptic illuminators ensure that no heat is transferred to the measuring platform.
• CNC on-axis profile and contour illumination are complemented by TTL (through the lens) oblique illumination with up to six separate channels.
• A joystick/trackball with three user definable hot buttons provides for coarse control and precision fine positioning in all three axis.
• An integrated CCD Camera acquires high resolution images for the video image processing system and offers the choice of Black & White or Color for the real time display.
• Dual 15" Color SVGA monitors allow simultaneous part and program viewing in an ergonomic work area.
• QC5300NLS Windows-based software with mouse driven icons makes the most complex measurements as easy as point and click.
• Proprietary FOV (Field of View) video edge detection tools include single point, multipoint, line, circle/arc and a user definable "Magic Wand."
• Superior edge detection with sub-pixeling and video brightness and contrast control allow even weak edges to be evaluated reliably and repeatedly.
• Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing, Dynamic Data Exchange, CAD Import/Export and Report Wizard custom report generator are fully supported.
• Image archiving supplements alphanumeric data storage for part characterization and operator training.
• Optical, Mechanical and Electronic components are backed with a full one-year warranty.
• Each installation is supported by an international network of NIKON/METRONICS dealers, whose skilled staff of sales and service personnel are the envy of the industry.
