Automated measurement system designed for accuracy
The iNexiv is designed to measure 3D workpieces, is touch probe ready, integrates the latest imaging processing software and incorporates a new 10x optical zoom system.
Measuring system provides rapid QC checks
Nikon Instruments' iNexiv VMA-2520 is ideal for rapid QC checks and demanding RandD work on mechanical, pressed metal, plastic moulded parts, as well as medical devices and electronic components.
Not only does the iNexiv VMA-2520 now enable users to perform two different measurement techniques on one machine, its generous 735mm working distance means it can accommodate a very wide range of samples.
Combining video and touch probe-based techniques in a system will significantly reduce the overall measuring time.
This means the iNexiv VMA-2520 is ideal for rapid QC checks and demanding R and D work on metal, plastic and rubber components as well as complex electronic and mechanical assemblies such as medical devices.
Paul Gough is Business Development Specialist for Metrology and Video Measuring Systems at Nikon UK.
Commenting on the touch probe, manufactured by Renshaw, he says: "The addition of the touch probe allows for greater diversity in the type of suitable applications, making it one of the most flexible single pieces of metrology equipment available".
Launched at the start of 2007, the iNexiv VMA-2520 is a simple-to-use benchtop noncontact video measuring system, designed specifically for 3D work pieces.
Priced to create a new entry point in video measurement, the system requires minimal bench space, yet combines a 250 x 200mm stage with a 200mm z-axis stroke. Request a free brochure from Nikon UK ...
