Starrett introduces large format multi-sensor vision system
The L.S. Starrett Company has introduced the new AVX550 Multi-Sensor Vision System equipped with dual optical systems and touch-probe capability to measure parts with a diverse range of feature sizes and geometries.
The Large Format AVX550 System can be equipped with two cameras and lenses to be used sequentially in the same program along with touch probe options, making this system one of the most versatile multi-sensor platforms available today. For accuracy, durability and stability, including under demanding requirements, the AVX550 system features a granite base and bridge design.
"We are pleased to offer our customers a powerful, easy to use multi-sensor measurement system which streamlines and optimizes the QC process," said Mark Arenal, General Manager, Starrett Metrology Division, "Using a single system, production parts can be examined on the shop floor or in the QC lab on macro and micro levels as one comprehensive process."
The new Starrett AVX550 Multi-Sensor System features dual optical systems that work in tandem to measure a broad range of features. The primary zoom lens enables small intricate features to be inspected with high precision and resolution of up to 2 microns. A secondary large field-of-view camera is equipped with a telecentric lens that can simultaneously inspect large areas of a part, or an entire part itself. A broad range of zoom options also means that measurement configurations can be custom tailored to meet specific application requirements, and eliminates the need to change lenses or re-calibrate the system. Throughput is further enhanced with fast platform travel speeds and dual collimated profile lights which are essential to the effectiveness of the dual optical systems.
