New camera improves accuracy of measuring device
AberLink has added new USB camera to its Project X optical measuring device, offering an increased frame rate and the ability to synchronise the camera's exposure to the light controller.
Building on the merits of its extremely popular predecessor, Aberlink's advanced new camera boasts higher resolution, an increased frame rate, rapid auto-focus ability, cross hair functionality and the capability of synchronising its exposure function to the light controller.
The new, high-quality Aberlink camera can be used in conjunction with a touch-trigger probe, enabling parts to be measured using a combination of both contact and noncontact techniques.
An ingenious design of kinematic magnetic joint allows the flexible camera to be swapped with a probe in seconds.
Unlike other camera systems there are no cables or cumbersome connections to worry about, all of the new camera's contacts are made instantaneously by the simple action of magnetically snapping it into place onto the CMM's quill.
To help provide edge clarity when performing complex measuring procedures, a high-quality, fully controllable ring light is available to provide optimum illumination from above the measured component.
