Table-top VMM Micro-Vu Vertex 261
The Micro-Vu Vertex 261 is a table top system equipped with a high-resolution camera-based measuring system to get fast, accurate measurements on a wide variety of parts. Vertex can be configured with additional measurement probes and sensors.
Vertex provides vivid pictures through a programmable optical and digital zoom, supports sensitive touch probe accessories allowing measurement of smaller intricate geometry, and high speed vertical distance measurement sensors for scanning capability that covers both specular and diffuse parts.
Vertex includes our InSpec Metrology Software®, which provides point-and-click simplicity, proprietary edge detection, advanced lighting control and calibration, multisensor integration, automated calibrations, and a clear display of measurement data and tolerances.

TOUCH PROBE

|
Integrate vision and touch probe measurements with the Vertex and Excel machine models. Touch probe measurements
include an automatic approach vectoring and solution iteration. The touch probe kit includes a multi-port probe rack designed
to kinematically mount to the machine. InSpec software provides an intuitive probe assembly interface, automated
probe calibrations, and probe docking.
|
Micro-Vu Multisensor Measuring Systems are equipped and ready to incorporate laser triangulation sensors.
Specular and diffuse mode configurations are available. The distance sensor collects data as it moves between
two programmed XYZ locations, ideal for surface flatness and Z distance measurements.

RSD-60 ROTARY

|
The RSD-60 Rotary device can be mounted vertically or horizontally on the Vertex and Excel machine models.
InSpec software integrates the rotary seamlessly and offers an intuitive on-screen interface. The rotary allows rotating
parts to a position relative to a coordinate system or the current position. This device is commonly used for measurement
of medical and dental parts, bits, cutters, valves, fittings, and multi-sided parts
