CNC Video Measuring System Veritas VM-500
Veritas delivers unbeatable accuracy and repeatability for even the toughest
measuring applications. Superb Nikon optics and up to six channels of computer-controlled
illumination deliver remarkable high contrast, high resolution video images.
Veritas detects edges, even blind holes, better than any other video system
on the market. Computerized 10:1 zoom ratio can be easily calibrated and
recalibrated right on site. Other features, including a 3-axis coordinate
measuring system, and an ultra-high precision stage, put Veritas in a class
by itself. Veritas is fully programmable, intuitive and easy to operate.
You can tailor the Windows-based, 100% user-definable software to meet all
your measuring needs, from the simplest to the most complex. The optional
laser autofocus dramatically improves focusing speed and repeatability. Choose
the model that suits your needs. The VM-500 can measure a part as large as
19.75" x 20.75" x 6".
An optional HMZ High Magnification Zoom Optical System combines Nikon
CF-I Epi-Plan high magnification objectives with Veritas 10:1 zoom lens to
deliver an incredible magnification range of 130x to 1300x. Ideal for samples
that have measurement tolerances ranging from 0.0001" to 0.100" on the same
part such as disk head components, medical device parts, and screw machine
parts.
An optional programmable tilting fiber illuminator allows the operator
to select easy detection of hard-to-image features, chambers, rounded edges,
and blind holes. Combined with its programmable intensity control and powerful
edge detection capabilities, this accessory allows Veritas to address the
most demanding application.
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.
