FEATURES
Non-stop Vision Measurement Extreme Improvement in Throughput*
Conventional vision measuring systems endlessly repeat the cycle of stage displacement, stage stop, measurement, stage start and stage displacement. This mode of operation is a fundamental limitation on improving measurement throughput. In contrast, the Quick Vision Stream system uses an innovative image capture technique that avoids the need to repeatedly stop the stage, thereby allowing for continuous measurement while still maintaining accuracy.
Measurement Throughput Comparison between QV STREAM and the Conventional System
STREAM PLUS series: more than 5 times faster * Comparison of measurement throughput using a Mitutoyo sample workpiece with that of conventional Mitutoyo systems.
Newly Developed Stroboscopic Illumination System
The development of a high-intensity LED flash illuminator makes non-stop vision measurement possible. At the precise moment the stage reaches a measurement point, the illuminator creates an extremely short, high-intensity flash that effectively freezes all motion. The illuminator turns on and off so quickly that no image blur occurs, and the image is captured in full and accurate detail. This innovative design takes full advantage of high-density, high-intensity LED arrays aided by collimating lenses and dichroic mirrors to produce ultra-bright, directional and efficient illumination.
Extreme Improvement in Throughput
Conventional vision measuring systems endlessly repeat the cycle of stage displacement, stage stop, measurement, stage start and stage displacement again. This mode of operation is a fundamental limitation on improving measurement throughput. In contrast, the Quick Vision STREAM uses an innovative image capture technique that avoids the need to repeatedly stop the stage so measurement can be continuous, but measuring accuracy is retained. By eliminating the time needed to accelerate, decelerate and then hold the stage motionless while a measurement is made a drastic improvement in productivity is achieved.
